Liberal Arts and Humanities is a multidisciplinary programme that provides students with a strong background in the humanities and social sciences - philosophy, history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, art, and languages. |
Faculty of Humanities offers two Master's programmes: - Gender Studies offers an opportunity for systematic and interdisciplinary study of gender issues; - Anthropology of Art is a new programme designed for students seeking a comprehensive education in the anthropology of art, music, and literature. |
Doctoral studies at the Faculty are very diverse, however, they are not a continuation of the graduate (master's) studies. The output of the doctoral study is individual scientific work, publication, and research activity. |

Students' Testimonials

Masha
Liberal Arts and Humanities Graduate, Foreign Students' Ambassador "...Particular memories that have stuck with me that I think are able to describe my experience at FHS well are when as part of a summer school course our professor was able to arrange for us to attend a rave at one of the most prominent underground electronic music venues. Not only were we able to conduct ethnographic research in the field, but we also got an opportunity to privately interview the artists. Other memories include our professors sharing their passions in class, in whichever discipline. Either anthropology, psychology, philosophy or history." |
Jella
Gender Studies Graduate "...I would recommend this program for international applicants, because the study environment is very close and relational – both among students and between students and teachers. Our group of Gender Studies students almost feels like a group of friends and I cherish a lot our long talks in front of the faculty building after classes or the walks to our beloved coffee machine during breaks. Also, with the students from the higher semester, we are in continuous contact and especially during the first semester, this was incredibly helpful in clarifying uncertainties and easing concerns." |
Justin
Liberal Arts and Humanities Graduate, Foreign Students' Ambassador "...But things really started to take off about two years ago, when we began hosting regular events and actively trying to bridge the divide between different faculties. That was one of the main missions of the ambassador program. It brings me a lot of comfort knowing that students now have that support system - that they’ll have people they can reach out to, especially during their first year, which can be quite overwhelming for international students." |

Buddy programme connects local and international students at Charles University. The local student, "buddy", is a volunteer who is a guide and friend to an international student. Buddies help international students with an orientation in the new environment, take care of necessary formalities at the beginning of their stay and share what the Czech Republic has to offer.
Our Socratic dialogues are grounded in the participants' life experiences rather than books. We are not interested in quick, superficial answers from AI; instead, we enjoy getting to the heart of matters through shared conversation.
If you enjoy deep conversations, this might be just the thing for you.

From July 21–24, the biennial international conference of the European Association for Social Anthropology (EASA) took place in Poznań, Poland, under the theme “Anthropology: Possibilities in a Polarized World.” A large group of anthropologists from the Czech Republic attended the conference, and it can be said without exaggeration that people affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University played a significant role.
In mid-July, a group of high school students from abroad visited the faculty to participate in the “Charles University Summer School: Discover Your Future" program organized by the Institute for Language and Professional Preparation UK (UJOP UK). These young people from various countries around the world had the opportunity to learn about our faculty and the study programs offered here. This year’s program featured two workshops that essentially addressed very similar questions: What does it mean to confront stereotypes? How do marginalized groups negotiate social recognition? And what strategies do they employ?
