Department of Humanities and Languages

Education

The Department of Humanities and Languages is responsible for running modern languages courses for specific professional and academic purposes for students attending all academic programmes (i.e. Bachelor, Master and Doctoral) at the Faculty. The bachelor language courses are provided in two languages, at three levels, from complete beginners (Spanish, French, and Russian – 5 semesters) through intermediate to advanced in German and English (3 semesters, also with native speakers). In addition, the Department runs professional extended English courses in the three-year Applied Information Technology course. The final bachelor project is then submitted and defended in English and students should demonstrate their high-level proficiency in speaking and writing in English; the student must demonstrate their ability to express their own ideas fluently in a foreign language.

In addition to modern languages, the Department offers specialised courses for foreign students, namely Czech for intermediate students running for 3 semesters.

In addition to teaching, the Department members prepare up-to-date language instruction materials for academic and professional purposes and provide editing consultations and services for academic staff.
