As in any other country that boasts of better educational facilities strive to attract students from other countries, not just in the region, but also from across other parts of the world, it is imperative to have unique features that can help the students to partake not just a quality education to enhance what they have already studied but also to give them the right balance that will enable them to return with an enhanced level of knowledge gained as well as a better perspective on the world around them. The following are some of the features that students opting for higher studies in the Czech Republic can look forward to.
The higher education system in the Czech Republic
Higher education is carried out in institutions of higher education (vysoké školy), which constitute the highest level of the Czech education system. There are three cycles of higher education:
• Bachelor’s degree programme (ISCED 5A), lasting 3–4 years,
• Master’s degree programme (ISCED 5A), lasting 1–3 years, or 4–6 years in case of programmes not following bachelor’s programmes (non-structured study programme),
• Doctoral degree programme (ISCED 6) lasting,3–4 years.
Institutions of higher education are public, public and private. Under the Higher Education Act, they are classified as university types (24 public, 2 public and 3 private), which offer study programs at all three levels of higher education and non-university (2 public and 43 private), which mainly offer bachelor’s programs, but can also offer master’s programs.
The basic prerequisite for entry into Bachelor’s and non – structured Master’s programs is completed secondary education with a school leaving examination. A relevant higher education institution sets detailed admission requirements and usually includes an entrance examination. Education can take full-time courses, distance learning courses or both. Students must follow a study plan in an accredited degree program; accreditation is granted by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports on the basis of a recommendation from the Accreditation Committee (akreditační komise). Study programs at institutions of higher education cover almost all scientific and artistic fields. They are usually divided into fields of study, which are included in the so-called basic fields of study, depending on their content (see also the Organization of the Education System and its structure).
Studies are duly completed if students obtain their qualification through:
a) Graduates of a bachelor’s degree program, which ends with a final state examination, which usually includes the defence of a thesis, are awarded the academic title Bachelor (Bc), in the field of art, Bachelor of Arts (BcA),
b)The Master’s program, which ends with the final examination of the state or Advanced Master’s Procedure (rigorózní zkouška), part of which is the defence of a thesis, graduates mainly obtain the academic title of Master (Mgr.) or Engineer (Ing.),
c) A doctoral degree program that ends with a state doctoral examination is mostly awarded to graduates with the academic title Doctor (PhD).
