Faculty of Humanities offers one Bachelor's study program, Liberal Arts and Humanities, which is taught in English, and a similar study program, Studium humanitní vzdělanosti, taught in Czech. Liberal Arts and Humanities is a multidisciplinary program which provides students with a strong background in the humanities and social sciences. The program offers high-quality education and enables you to gain knowledge in a wide range of academic fields - from social sciences such as anthropology, sociology or psychology to the study of philosophy, history, gender or art.

Description of the Field of Study

Liberal Arts and Humanities is a university study program in the humanities that is centred on philosophy, history, cultural and social anthropology, but encompasses also many different academic fields related to the study of humanities. In addition to studying a wide range of disciplines (philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology), students can focus on a subject of their choice. The program is an ideal preparation for further post-Bachelor studies in humanities and social sciences.

The program's signature feature is a widely open study curriculum with only a few compulsory courses that enables you to pursue your individual interests and develop new abilities. Every student completes mandatory courses in the humanities and social sciences by successfully passing comprehensive exams relevant to each field. Additionally, students can choose from an offer of elective courses and create their own unique curriculums that complement their skills and interests. By choosing other courses during the study, students can gradually specialize in specific academic fields and focus on their preferred topics.
