School of Education

The School of Education offers a Czech Bachelor's degree in teaching English as a foreign language. The programme focuses both on English as a specialization and the disciplines related to communication in this language, as well as linguo-didactic training and teaching practice.

In addition, the School of Education offers programmes accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education as part of the Further Education of Teachers (DVVP) project. These enable applicants with existing teaching qualifications to teach English; or (in the case of a Master's degree) to teach English as a foreign language at primary and secondary schools.
