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

The degree looks at how politics, media and society interact, covering how media have changed politics, their role in democracy, political communication and campaigns, and how media affect political attitudes. Foundation courses in academic writing, media studies, politics and social research methods lead to subjects such as democracy and media, populist political communication, data visualisation and public opinion, and to a two-semester bachelor thesis seminar. An optional supervised practical placement is available. Graduates work in opinion research, media, PR, public administration and political analysis, or continue in political science, media studies or political communication.
