FAQs

If the number of credits is not met (see the Study and Examination Rules of UCT Prague), it is recommended that the student terminate studies by filling in the Exit Clearence Form and taking the documents to the Dean's Office of their faculty. Subsequently, the dean issues a decision on the termination of studies and the individual loses student status. Early termination of Studies is recommended mainly because the student does not lose the time for which the study is paid by the state - i.e. the standard study period + 1 year (for a three-year Bachelor's degree this means 4 years).

If a student does not complete Inorganic Chemistry Labs I, he/she may not re-enrol until the following summer semester, one year from now. In the winter semester, Inorganic Chemistry Labs I is taught only for the Chemistry programme and exceptionally for students who could not complete it in the summer semester for serious reasons (contact the course guarantor). Re-enrolment in laboratories takes place in person with Ing. Libor Mastný, CSc. at the beginning of the summer semester. At the same time, if the student fails to complete Inorganic Chemistry Labs I, he/she cannot complete Organic Chemistry Lab I in the winter semester of the 2nd year.

In the winter semester of 2019, Tutors launched a tutor database where all school-wide subjects are represented and students can choose among the tutors according to their preferences. A link to the database can be found here.

You must always make arrangements with your study officer. If it is a change within one faculty, you communicate only with the study officer for that faculty's (BSc./MSc.) studies.

General information about the ESP is provided in the Study and Examination Rules of UCT Prague. The ESP is primarily for students with special needs, health or social problems, or is allowed because of pregnancy or childcare up to the age of three. In other justified situations, the Dean may also authorise an ESP, but only after providing a reason. The student completes the application form after consulting with the study officer at the Dean's Office of the faculty, who will advise you on what the document should look like. The student states the reason for the request and proposes his/her own coursework for the semester. The ESP is authorized by the Dean, who has the right to modify the proposal to ensure the continuity of courses in accordance with the curriculum of the major/programme. The ESP approved by the Dean is binding for the student and in case of failure to comply with it, the student's studies are terminated.

The semester in which a course can be registered for and when it is taught can be found in the SIS (Educational Info System) in the details of each course. If you are unclear about the subject, you can contact the subject supervisor (see also the subject details). In the SIS you will also find the prerequisites for the course, requirements for the study review, the syllabus, and other useful information.

According to the Study and Examination Rules, in order to enrol in the next semester of a study programme, a student is always required to complete at least 15 credits from compulsory (C) and compulsory-elective (CE) courses in the previous semester. And to enrol in the next year of the study programme, a student may miss no more than 15 credits of the number of credits corresponding to thirty times the number of semesters already completed.

This means that in order to advance to the second semester, you need to complete at least 15 credits from C and CE courses, which includes physical education. At least 45 credits are required for advancement to the second year, and at least 105 credits are required for advancement to the third year. For the entire bachelor's study, the student must accumulate at least 180 credits in total from C, CE and E courses. In physical education, 4 credits count towards compulsory and each additional credit of PE counts towards electives only. At the same time, a student may not postpone any compulsory or compulsory elective course until the last semester.

Failure to complete (not only) MA requires the student to enrol in the course immediately in the following semester. Students cannot transfer incomplete subjects to another subject on their own and you must therefore follow the guidelines of the Dean's Office. At some faculties, your courses are automatically transferred, at others you have to request a transfer. CHECK YOUR SCHOOL INBOX!

The Department of Mathematics does not recommend enrolling in MA simultaneously with MB, so it is advisable to postpone MB until the second year, after completing MA. This subject is a prerequisite for some other subjects, such as Physics. This means that while you can take the courses in the same semester, you must first complete MA before you can take the Physics exam.

There are several types of scholarships you can obtain while studying, including study results based, accommodation, special purpose or social scholarships. Detailed information and conditions can be found in the Scholarship Rules.

You can always find out if and what prerequisites a subject has in SIS (Educational Info System}in the details of the subject. For Inorganic Chemistry Labs I, these are Chemical and Balance Calculations and General and Inorganic Chemistry I. Thus, you will not be admitted to the labs without completing these courses. Usually, at the beginning of the summer semester, some General and Inorganic Chemistry I exam dates are announced so that students have a chance to complete Inorganic Chemistry Labs I in the second turn.

Each day of labs, an entry test consisting of calculations and theory is written at the beginning of the day. For the calculation part, you need to master the material covered in the course Chemical and Balance Calculations. In the theoretical part there are questions about the experiments of the given laboratory day, also about safety in the laboratory and control questions from experiments of the previous laboratory day. Rules, materials and preparation videos can be found on e-learning.
