Higher education system in the Czech Republic
The administration body in the area of higher education is the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. Higher education institutions are self-governing institutions. The education system consists of state, public, private and denominational schools/institutions. The attendance at public schools/institutions substantially prevails. Tertiary education is provided by higher education institutions, tertiary professional schools and conservatoires. The minimum entrance requirement to enter this level of education is the school-leaving examination certificate. Each institution determines its own admission criteria and the content of the entrance examination.
Higher education consists of the three cycles:
  • Bachelor’s degree programmes, lasting 3–4 years,
  • Master’s degree programmes, lasting 1–3 years, or 4–6 years in case of programmes not following Bachelor’s degree programmes (non-structured programmes),
  • Doctoral degree programmes, lasting 3–4 years.
The academic year lasts 12 months; the beginning is set by the Rector usually for September or October. Studies are split into semesters, years or teaching blocks which cover periods of teaching activity, examinations and holidays. Most commonly, the academic year is split into semesters which have 14 weeks of teaching activity followed by a period of examinations. The summer holidays are in July and August, usually followed by an extended period of examinations. Study outcomes at higher education institutions are assessed mainly by a system of credits. All public higher education institutions and most private higher education institutions have implemented the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) or a system compatible with ECTS.
After completing studies in Bachelor´s and Master´s degree programmes, students take the final state examination, including a defence of a thesis. Graduates of the Bachelor´s degree programmes are usually awarded the degree Bc. Graduates of the Master´s degree programmes most commonly acquire the degree Mgr., or Ing. However, other types of examinations and academic titles exist in the Czech Republic. After completing doctoral studies students take a doctoral state examination and defend a thesis. They are awarded the degree Ph.D., or Th.D.
