1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027*
Masaryk University, Faculty of Education - applications, September intakeHard deadlineDetails
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 study English grammar, linguistics, literary analysis and practical language skills together with the histories, cultures and literatures of the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. Everything is taught in English except translation courses, by Czech instructors and native speakers, with intensive courses and guest lectures. Electives range from American and British literature to African American studies, film genres and sociolinguistics, and you write a bachelor's thesis. A theatre group and a student magazine run alongside. Graduates teach English or translate, work in publishing, tourism and NGOs, or go on to master's study in literature, North American cultural studies, teacher training or translation.
What you need
- No English certificate if you attended an IB Diploma school for two years or more.
