Deadlines

  1. 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027*

    Masaryk University, Faculty of Education - applications, September intake
    Hard deadline
    Details

    The earliest of Masaryk's faculty windows to open, and the first Czech deadline of the cycle. Published as "Bachelor's programme: 1 October-31 March". Masaryk publishes this window with a day and a month but no year at all, and no academic-year heading anywhere on the page, so the year here is projected onto the September 2027 intake. Where the page's summary table and its per-faculty sections disagree, go by the faculty section, which gives the opening dates the table leaves out.

What it is

You combine film studies, theatre studies, media and communication studies and social anthropology, with training in ethnographic fieldwork, qualitative research, academic and journalistic writing, Central European cultural and media history, and the basics of audio, photo and video production. The programme blends academic knowledge, research training and practical experience, including internships at regional festivals and cultural institutions such as Jihlava and One World. Electives, for example on Italian cinema or screenwriting, shape your direction. Graduates go on to master's study or work in cultural management, film and television, festivals, NGOs and journalism.
