When applying for a semester or a full academic year at the FHS, you will need to design your preliminary study plan. Please consider the course offer of the current academic year; the offer for the next academic year will be a modification of this one, some new courses may be introduced, while some of the current courses may not be offered.
You should select courses for at least 20 ECTS credits.
You will have a chance to modify and finalize your study plan after your arrival to Prague during the add/drop period (the registration period to courses), depending on the up-to-date course offerings and schedule.
Students are expected to select the majority of their courses at their respective host CU faculty. Thus the students hosted by the Faculty of Humanities can also choose courses that are offered by other CU faculties than the FHS, but not more than 49 % of the overall number of courses in their study plans, e.g. if you would like to take three courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences, you have to take at least four courses provided by the Faculty of Humanities regardless the overall number of ECTS credits (i.e. rather than the number of ECTS credits, it is the number of courses what matters).
For the detailed information on course offerings see the sections bellow.

The direct link to the complex CU course catalogue within CU Student Information System is available at is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/predmety/index.php?KEY=Az1, when searching the course catalogue, select the appropriate Faculty, Language (of instruction) and semester option there.
Students can select courses across all the different FHS departments and BA and MA study programmes, unless there are any other special registration/entry requirements for a specific course, but please note the specifics of the courses listed under the codes below:
The YBAU courses (the UPCES programme), an exchange student can take up to 2 UPCES courses per semester per available capacity. For the detailed information on these courses see the UPCES courses section. Due to very limited size of these courses, we are unable to guarantee the enrolment in the particular UPCES course a FHS exchange student may suggest.
The YBAC courses (the CET programme) are available only for those exchange students who are spending a full academic year at the FHS, having the opportunity to attend them in spring semesters.
The YMO courses (the Department of Oral History - Contemporary History) are unavailable to the exchange students.

WINTER SEMESTER of the academic year 2018/19
SUMMER SEMESTER of the academic year 2017/18
The Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies (UPCES) is a joint semester study abroad programme created by the FHS and its partner UPCES, CERGE-EI, Charles University. The programme is particularly designed for the visiting students from American and Canadian universities; the American and Canadian students participate in the whole programme, while the Faculty of Humanities degree as well as exchange students are welcome to select single courses from the course offerings of this programme. The degree students (both Czech and international ones) can attend these courses from the second semester of their studies onwards.
An exchange student can take up to 2 UPCES courses per semester per available capacity. When designing their study plans, exchange students are therefore expected to select also some other courses than the UPCES (YBAU coded) ones from the course offerings of the FHS. Due to small size of these courses, we are unable to guarantee the enrolment in the particular UPCES course a FHS exchange student may suggest.
At the same time, we are unabale to guarantee the enrolment in the UPCES courses in advance to the exchange students hosted by other CU Faculties than the FHS. For the students enrolled at other CU Faculties than the FHS, these courses are available only if the course capacity allows (i.e. not all the places are used by the FHS students), the availability to be checked in the Student information system (SIS) when the registration to the courses opens.
