Before starting the study
Meet the fair environment

UWB aims to develop a trustworthy environment, which is why a code of ethics has been issued. Its main purpose is to define and promote desirable ethical standards of behaviour of university employees and students towards colleagues, collaborating organizations, and the wider public.

Read the UWB regulations

There are more than a dozen internal regulations at ZČU. The most important of them is the Statute of the UWB, which in Article 4 regulates the Study and Examination Regulations. At individual faculties, these regulations may be specified by internal standards.
