Higher education system

Universities represent the highest level of the education system in the Czech Republic. They offer accredited study programmes of three types - bachelor, master and doctoral. Lifelong learning is also an option. Universities in the Czech Republic are divided into university and non-university types. University colleges carry out all three types of study programmes in connection with scientific and research, development, artistic or other creative activities. Non-university colleges focus mainly on undergraduate studies. Currently, there is also a possibility to study master's degree programmes at these colleges, and to interlink studies with research, development, artistic or other creative activities. Non-university colleges are not divided into faculties.

There are public, state and private universities in the Czech Republic. Public and private universities and their educational institutions fall under the competence of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. State institutions (military colleges and police academies) fall under the competence of the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of the Interior. Lists of all universities are available HERE. Higher education is obtained by studying in an accredited programme of study according to a curriculum in the defined study form. The form of study can be full-time (requires attendence), distance learning or a combination of both.
