Lectures are tailored to the selected program. The regular program mostly takes place daily in the mornings, while in the higher years, students can choose subjects that may also be scheduled in the afternoon. The part-time study is designed for students with work obligations, so lectures are held in the afternoons. Usually, once a week, and on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. However, the exact lecture schedule in the part-time study depends on the choice of elective courses.

To be admitted to the 1st year, you need to have completed a vocational or general matura, or a final exam in any four-year secondary school program. It is not necessary to complete the fifth subject, as the vocational matura is sufficient.

Candidates who have completed equivalent education abroad also meet the admission requirements. Those with a recognition or nostrification decision must submit the relevant documents along with the decision to the faculty, following the provided instructions.

For more detailed information about the admission requirements and procedures, please refer to the section on the website where these conditions are clearly outlined for each study program.

The structure of exams and the academic year depends on the chosen study program and study mode.

For regular studies, exams are held in two exam periods. The academic year is divided into two semesters. In the first semester, lectures are held from October to the end of January or early February, followed by the winter exam period, which focuses on studying and taking the first set of exams. After the winter exam period, the second semester begins, with lectures and then the summer exam period. If students pass the exams in the first exam period, they can finish the academic year by the end of June, and additional exam periods are scheduled throughout the entire academic year.

For part-time studies, the program is conducted in parallel, with students attending two to three courses at the same time. Each course ends with an exam. Once all exams are completed, new courses begin, followed by more exams, until all courses for the year are completed.

The study mode and exam structure may vary depending on the chosen study program, the mode of study (online or in-person), and individual student preferences. For more information, feel free to contact us, and we would be happy to discuss which study program and mode would be most suitable for you.

Each lecturer has their own method of delivering content. Most of them explain the material using slides, which are uploaded to the e-learning platform, and also provide additional materials for successful study. Students also have different approaches to studying – some take notes on laptops, while others prefer to write on traditional paper.

At the beginning of the academic year, students can choose to borrow materials from the faculty library. The work methods and materials are tailored to each individual course, allowing students to effectively master the content and prepare for exams.

Study practice is mandatory and must be completed by the end of the 3rd year, but students can also complete it in the 2nd year if they wish. It is important that the practice is relevant to the study program – for example, a student studying Digital Marketing cannot count work in a grocery store as practice.

If a student is already doing student work in the 1st year that is related to their study program (e.g., in a marketing agency), they can count this as practice, but it must follow certain protocols and rules. Details about this are clearly outlined in the e-learning platform.
