Deadlines

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.

Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics - applications, September intakeHard deadlineDetails
Published as "September intake: 15 December-30 April". A February intake also exists, closing 30 October - note that Informatics prints 30 October where Economics and Social Studies print 31, and the page repeats it, so it is not a one-line typo. 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
The degree brings together political science, environmental studies, social anthropology and sociology to look at global issues, with courses on migration, environmental challenges, social movements, populism and nationalism, plus quantitative and qualitative research methods. Teaching combines lectures, seminars and practical workshops on political, social and environmental risks, and a diploma seminar in the last two semesters leads to the thesis. Internships are encouraged and can replace an optional course. Graduates work in governmental agencies, research institutions and NGOs, or continue to master's programmes in sociology, conflict studies or environmental education.
