Research Visit Scheme

Admissions

FSV UK offers some of the highest quality English language Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degree programmes in Central and Eastern Europe in all fields of social sciences, giving students an opportunity to obtain their degree from one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious universities in the world.

Research

FSV UK fully supports the socio-scientific research. The Faculty integrates and co-ordinates the research plan it has acquired with several departments of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. Within this framework, FSV UK has made a commitment to provide the professional public with a critical and scientifically-based reflection on the development of Czech society from a long-term perspective.

Life at Faculty

Student life is not only studying at a library or your dorm and attending lectures and seminars! There is a whole bunch of stuff students do together in their free time - social, cultural, political or sport events, trips, parties...and much more! There is nothing easier than just join and enjoy the life at FSV UK!

for post-Masters, Ph.D. candidates and other researchers

any length of time, usually between four weeks and two semesters

The main benefit of the scheme is for the researcher to get to know the Faculty´s and University´s functioning, consult his or her work with a chosen supervisor and other scholars, and even attend classes offered at any of the Institutes, since a large number of courses are taught in foreign languages.

You may find an optimal supervisor at one of the Institutes’ websites or we are happy to assist you in this search based on your research project and field of interest.

For further information and assistance please contact the International Office at inbound@fsv.cuni.cz
