MA Programmes

The application process for the academic year 2023/2024 (starting September 2023):

MA (master’s) degree programmes are focused on a more theoretical level of the subject, on research and development, and the student’s ability to apply his knowledge in practice.
All MA programmes follow up on BA degree programmes.

The standard length of an MA degree programme is 2 – 3 years; the maximum time allowed is 5 years. Graduates who meet all requirements defined in the study plan – a total of 120 credits (or 180 in the case of a three-year course) – and pass the final master’s degree exam, including the defence of a diploma thesis, are awarded the academic title “Master” (abbreviated to Mgr. and used in front of the name).

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PAYMENT FOR OWNERS OF BANK ACCOUNTS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

If you pay from an account in different than Czech currency, first of all, please, check your bank’s transfer fee and then add this fee to the total amount of the payment so that the resulting sum corresponds precisely with the application fee. When you pay by bank transfer, we also recommend you to generate a confirmation of the transfer in your internet banking and send it along with your application number by email at prijimacky@ff.cuni.cz so that we can find your payment in our electronic accounting system. The processing and assigning of the bank transfer may take several days. After approximately a week, we recommend you check if the payment was received and paired with your application.

If you would like to prevent issues connected with transfers and fees, PAY THE APPLICATION DIRECTLY BY CARD in the Student Information System. We strongly recommend you to choose this method of payment. When paying by card, it is impossible to input wrong payment details and it immediately pairs with your application in the payment gateway, i.e., you will be at once notified that your application is paid for.
