University of Hradec Králové
offers accredited BA, MA and PhD study programmes both in full-time and
combined form of study. Throughout the whole period of study, the main
emphasis is given on the students´ future application of their knowledge
in their careers. Statistics that are monitored and analysed regularly
show that the number of unemployed graduates of the University of Hradec
Králové is marginal. Studies at the university are regulated by a
uniform set of rules. The emphasis is given on individual approach to
each student: by the academic staff, students are considered colleagues.
This attitude is possible predominantly due to the limited number of
students in the classes.
The standard length of the BA
study programme is three years. Some of the BA study programmes are also
offered in combined form of study. Graduates obtain the degree Bachelor
(abbreviated Bc.), and they have all necessary practical and
theoretical knowledge to succeed in the labour market or to pursue their
studies in the MA study programme.
The standard length of the MA
study programme is two years (the follow-up MA study programme) or five
years (Teaching Profession for Primary Education). Some of the MA study
programmes are also offered in combined form of study. Graduates obtain
the degree Master (abbreviated Mgr.). They have the necessary knowledge,
skills and prerequisites to work as highly-qualified professionals or
to pursue their studies in the PhD study programme.
The standard length of the PhD
study programme is three or four years. This programme is designated for
graduates of the MA study programme. Postgraduate students are
systematically trained for research and scientific work. The PhD study
programme is concluded with a doctoral state exam and with the defence
of the doctoral dissertation that should demonstrate the student´s
qualification for independent scientific work. Graduates obtain the
degree Doctor of Philosophy (abbreviated PhD).
