How does the fee arise?
Should a student in a degree programme exceed the standard length of study in a bachelor’s or master’s degree programme by more than one year, the public higher education institution sets a tuition fee. The length of studies also includes the length of all preceding studies in bachelor’s or master’s degree programmes that have not been completed under subsections 45 (3) or 46 (3) of the Act No.111/1998 Coll.
Not counted:
- parallel studies are counted only once in the “length of study decisive for the incurrence of the tuition fee”,
- previous unsuccessful studies, after which a study programme of the same type at a public, private or state university has been duly completed. A long master’s degree programme and a bachelor’s degree programme shall be considered mutually as programmes of the same type for fee purposes,
- study at private universities,
- registered period of parenthood.
When will the fee arise?
The fee is always charged for every six months of study, by which you exceed the standard period of study increased by one year. Not necessarily identical with a semester.
Fees and coronavirus
The coronavirus waved with the calculation of the length of studies. In April 2020, the Act on Special Rules for Education and Decision-Making at Higher Education Institutions and on the Assessment of Period of Study for Other Acts was approved. According to Section 2 of this Act, the period of study from 1 March 2020 to 31 August 2020 is not included in the length of study decisive for the incurrence of the tuition fee.
