The course catalogue represents the list of courses in English available to exchange students. The courses are grouped by faculties and study programmes. If relevant, the name of the study programme is followed by the department or the institute at which it’s courses are being taught.
Czech and/or Slovak-speaking students can also choose from courses taught in Slovak language.
In case the course list for your receiving department or institute is not present in this course catalogue, the courses are taught only in Slovak. Courses in English can be arranged after prior consultation with the academic coordinators of the respective departments.
If you are a PhD student, please contact your academic coordinator at our university to make arrangements regarding courses and/or research related to your studies.
Please, consult your choice of courses with your academic coordinator at our university.
