research and academic focus is the Humanities and Social and Cultural Anthropology.
Mission

The
Erasmus
Mundus
programme
“German
and
French
Philosophy
in
Europe”
(EuroPhilosophie) offers a two-year master’s study programme to students from all over the world
who are chosen by an entrance exam; the study programme is aimed especially at German and French
philosophy from the 18th century to the present and their reciprocal influences in the intellectual and
cultural European space. The programme is taught in German and French at seven different
universities. Tuition at FHs UK is particularly focused on German and French phenomenology, but
courses on German classic philosophy and contemporary French thought are also offered.

II.
Historical Sociology
The aim of the study programme of historical sociology is to cultivate research activities and the
education of experts with a specialisation in the issues of long-term social processes and trends that
have a significant impact on life of contemporary societies. Above all, it deals with the problems of
modernisation and social change, globalisation trends and influences, integration and disintegration
processes, relationship of continuity and discontinuity, religious and cultural pluralism, linking the
global to the local, identification of the chances and risks of social development, analysis of conflict
situations and the possibility of overcoming them. The need for understanding of all of these issues
invokes the need for the development of adequate theoretical and methodological approaches, and
also of the specific training of university students.

III.
Oral History and Contemporary History
The two-year Master Study Programme in Oral History and Contemporary History is intended
for students interested in contemporary (European) history, in interviewing methodologies and in
interpretative methods. Its main aim is to train students to conduct research through creating and
analyzing interviews, and developing fieldwork projects to address those historical and contemporary
issues that require interdisciplinary investigation. The Master is divided into two sections, the first
covers contemporary (Czech and international) history and events, the second is methodological and
focuses on various interviewing techniques through which we can study contemporary history. It
binds together two general approaches of studying history, the macro and micro approaches, and
enables a thorough understanding of recent events in history. The Master Study Programme in Oral
and Contemporary History has practical applications in academic and university research, historic
preservation and legal and human rights work.
Director of the Oral History and Contemporary History Programme:
Doc. PaeDr. et. Mgr. Miroslav Vaněk, PhD. (Vanek@usd.cas.cz)

ii.
Environmental Studies
The objective of the doctoral programme Environmental Studies is to provide the concept of
sustainable development with support in the form of scientifically conducted research. An important
aspect of the programme is the interdisciplinary character of the defined research domains and the
synergies among them. Although it is not the main goal of the study, we assume that the research
outputs could be an important source of scientifically validated information for objective, relevant and
qualified decision - making on environmental aspects of the economic and social development of the
Czech Republic.
The conditions needed for admission into the doctoral programme will be verified by an entrance
examination. This examination includes:
-
Debate on the proposed topic for doctoral training (dissertation project).
-
For graduates in social sciences, examination of the knowledge of necessary basics in the
natural sciences needed for the study of the environment.
-
For graduates in natural sciences (medical, technical), examination of knowledge in the social
sciences, including economics.
-
Examination on English language proficiency.
Director of the Environmental Studies Programme:
prof. Bedřich Moldan, CSc. (Moldan.Bedrich@fhs.cuni.cz)
Application deadline: February 28, 2011
Application form: https://is.cuni.cz/eng/studium/login.php?do=prihlaska
Tuition fee: 2.000 €/year
Language of instruction: English
Further information: http://fhs.cuni.cz/FHSENG-371.html
Czech Language Course for Foreigners
Czech Language Course for Beginners
The course targets students that are staying in the Czech Republic for a limited period of time
and need to cover the basis of the language in order to communicate in everyday situations. The
ultimate aim is to provide the students with basic skills, grammar and vocabulary to deal with the life
in the Czech Republic, to give them an idea of the Czech language system as well as Czech culture. The
instruction uses communicational method of teaching: the material is based on situations the students
face, not grammatical overview of the language, with emphasis on both receptive and productive
language skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing). This however does not mean that we would
neglect, ignore nor reject grammar! Grammar is used functionally, as a tool to reach communicational
competencies but not the core purpose of the learning process.
