We are excited to be able to offer an extensive course offering this summer! As always, we are committed to providing engaging and interactive programmes that help students cross international barriers.
We would like to invite you and your students to join us on one of two zoom information sessions next week to discover the different ways students can study at Masaryk University.
Tuesday, 1 February at 17:30 CET (GMT+1)
Thursday, 3 February at 9:00 CET (GMT+1)
During this session we will highlight what students can expect on the different programmes (summer versus semester programmes) as well as to inform about widening of the opportunities we provide at our end (extending our lab internship options, internships with a strong academic mentorship, virtual courses, etc.).

Our 3+ week in person summer schools continues our commitment to provide students with a comprehensive academic and social program that enables them to learn and grow both in and outside of the program. Each of our in person summer schools bring students outside of Brno on excursions to Prague, Vienna, Krakow and/or Budapest. As with all of our in person programming, 24/7 support is provided, and a diverse enriching culture and social programming is prepared by our student assistants.
This summer we will offer 3 in person summer schools for 3 weeks in the fields of politics, security, law, history, culture, and globalization and 2 internship opportunities in the fields of Science, Communication, IT, NGO, etc. which last 8-10 weeks.
We're proud launch a new summer school opportunity. For two weeks, 10-23 July, we will welcome students to participate in our 'Intensive Summer School'. Students are able to choose from one of the academic classes below to participate in. Outside of class we will offer culture and social activities as well as some site visits to local organizations.
Masaryk University wants to provide as much assurance to the safety and health to our participants and teachers as possible. Our summer and winter schools by nature require students to be in close contact (traveling as a group, classes, social activities, and living together), as such there is no way to mitigate all risks, below are the policies for Masaryk University Summer and Winter Schools.
Students who test positive with Covid-19 and send us proof within 2 weeks of the start programme will receive a 90% refund.
Full payment for the programmes are required 30 days prior to the start of the programme (this is to provide students as much flexibility as possible).
No refunds for cancellation within 30 days of the start of the programme, except for proof of Covid-19 as mentioned above.
If Masaryk University is required to cancel the programme for any reason prior to the start of the programme, a full refund will be provided.
If an excursion (Prague, Vienna, Budapest, etc.) needs to be cancelled due Covid-19 related issues and a substitute cannot be provided to students, then a refund of up to €300 will be provided to each student.
Vaccination: Students participating on Summer and Winter schools organized by the Centre for International Cooperation are required to be vaccinated with a vaccination recognized by the Czech government. Recognized vaccination certificates can be found here. When in doubt please email us at summer@muni.cz. This will ensure students are able to fully participate in the academic, culture, and social activities. If possible, students should have received a booster shot. Prior to the start of the programme MU will inform students of all entry requirements. Students who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons should provide documentation and communicate with the summer school organizers.
As per Czech law, any student who becomes positive for Covid-19 will be put into a quarantine. Masaryk University will cover the cost for 1 Covid-19 test for all students in contact. If the quarantine lasts longer than the programme dates, MU will help the student find accommodation, however the costs for all accommodation after the end of the programme are the responsibility of the student.
Students will be required to purchase trip protection insurance that will cover the cost of accommodation and change in travel IF they become sick past the duration of the programme. MU will help students secure accommodation if required after the dates of the programme, however the student is responsible for all costs.
This summer we are excited to offer over 10 individual research projects that students can apply for through our Research Lab Internships. Each project is unique and vary in topics from chemistry, biostatistics, anthropology, machine learning and more. We encourage all students who want to gain practical lab experience to check out the projects, and see if they are interested.
