Where is the graduation ceremony held?

All of the Bachelor’s graduation ceremonies are held in the Hall of the ‘House for the Professed’ (Profesni dum) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Malostranske namesti 25). The capacity of the hall is limited so we recommend inviting no more than 5 guests per one graduate.

All of the Master’s and Doctoral graduation ceremonies take place in the Great Hall of Karolinum (Ovocny trh 5). The capacity of this hall is no longer limited in regards to the number of allowed guests. When attending your graduation ceremony, you are expected to dress formally – i.e. formal suits, dresses, etc. The ceremony follows strict rules and invited guests are expected to follow them accordingly so they do not disturb the ceremony.
