Duration of Bachelor's degree programmes

Courses
Courses are divided into compulsory, selective and elective ones. Compulsory courses constitute the core of the programme. All of them must be completed in the course of study, and it is not possible to omit them. The number of selective courses taken must be such that the credit requirements for selective courses are fulfilled (more in the study plan). Elective courses are courses of student's interest and can be chosen from any faculty of Masaryk University. Bachelor students also have the obligation to obtain at least 2 credits from physical education during their studies.
