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 courses on offer of the current academic year; whilst 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 be discontinued.
You should select courses for at least 20 ECTS credits.
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 CU faculties other than 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 of the overall number of ECTS credits (i.e. rather than the number of ECTS credits, it is the number of courses which matters).
You will have a chance to modify and finalise your study plan after your arrival to Prague during the add/drop period (the course registration period), depending on the up-to-date course offerings and schedule.
For the detailed information on course offerings see the sections bellow.
The list of FHS courses in foreign languages of the current academic year can be downloaded here.
The direct link to the comprehensive 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 options.
Students can select courses across all the different FHS departments and BA and MA study programmes, unless there are any entry requirements for a particular 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 depending on the available capacity. For more 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.
The YBAC courses (the CET programme) are available only for those exchange students who are spending a full academic year at FHS, and has the opportunity to attend them in spring semesters.
The YMO courses (the Department of Oral History - Contemporary History) are unavailable to exchange students.

WINTER SEMESTER of the academic year 2019/20 (preliminary)
FHS courses_timetable WS 19_20
SUMMER SEMESTER of the academic year 2018/19
The Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies (UPCES) is a joint semester study abroad programme created by FHS and its partner UPCES, CERGE-EI, Charles University. The programme is particularly designed for 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 courses on offer of this programme. Degree students (both Czech and international) can attend these courses from the second semester of their studies onwards.
Exchange students can take up to 2 UPCES courses per semester depending on the 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 courses on offer at 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 choose.
At the same time, we are unable to guarantee the enrolment in UPCES courses in advance to exchange students hosted by CU Faculties other than 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.
