Czech Public Institutions of Higher Education 2007

The Czech system of higher education currently comprises 24 public universities that offer a comprehensive range of study fields and subjects within Bachelor, Master and Doctoral (Ph.D.) study programmes as well as non-degree courses, and 1 non-university public institution of higher education (the Polytechnic College in Jihlava) which provides Bachelor study programmes and non-degree courses.

Following the adoption of the applicable Higher Education Act No. 111/1998, Coll., as last amended, public institutions of higher education in the Czech Republic enjoy a complete independence i.a. as regards the stipulation of conditions for admission to study, assessment of study-related fees and the design of study programmes.

The database of study programmes offered is made available in the English language by the Czech NARIC.
