Frequently Asked Questions

About 1st Year Study (CŽV)

Click here to find answers to frequently asked questions about the 1st Year Study in Lifelong Learning at MU Faculty of Informatics:

Do I have to take an entrance exam to be admitted?

No, there is no entrance exam for the 1st Year Study in Lifelong Learning.

Can I participate in the LLL programme even if I am studying at another university?

Yes, concurrent CIL and full-time study at more than one university are not a problem for participation in Lifelong Learning.

Is there a fee to apply for lifelong learning?

No, you just need to pay the payment for the 1st semester of study, provide proof of high school education and identify yourself - there is no fee for the actual application for LLL.

What is the form of training and tuition?

In the Masaryk University Information System (IS MU) you are enrolled in courses which you then take together with students of accredited Bachelor's programmes. The form of education is full-time, you can slightly influence your timetable by choosing the seminar groups of those courses which have seminars. Attendance at lectures is optional, attendance at seminars is typically compulsory.

Can I enrol in extra courses, i.e. beyond the compulsory courses?

No, in the 1st Year Lifelong Learning Studies you study exactly those subjects that are compulsory for the corresponding Bachelor's programme. This is because the price you pay for the courses in advance is based on this selection of subjects.

Where can I find out what subjects are included in the First Year Study?

In the overview of the current programme offerings for First Year Studies, you can find a list of courses for both Semester 1 and Semester 2 of your studies. These are links that lead to the public Course Catalogue in the IS MU.

What if I fail a course?

Just like a full-time undergraduate student, you have 3 attempts to complete a course. If you fail to successfully complete the course even then, you may retake the course once in the semester when the course is first listed again after paying the retake fee. However, most courses at FI MU are offered only once a year (i.e. every spring or autumn semester).

How can I continue my studies after completing my lifelong learning?

If you decide to continue from the First Year Study to a Bachelor's degree programme, you must apply, complete and pay for the application form for a regular Bachelor's degree in the same programme (C-INF -> B-INF, C-PVA -> B-PVA) during the academic year. If during your participation in lifelong learning you obtain

  • at least 20 credits in both semesters 1 and 2, or
  • at least 45 credits in total for both semesters,

you may be granted a waiver of the entrance exam for the identical Bachelor's programme (the full wording is given in the MU Statutes). Do not forget to apply for a waiver of the entrance exam in your application form. After enrolling in the first semester of full-time study, you will study courses that are related to the LLL programme you have completed, i.e. third semester courses.

Can I count my courses towards my bachelor's degree after completing my LL.M.?

Yes, you can have your successfully completed first-year Lifelong Learning courses recognised after enrolment in the Bachelor's programme, up to a maximum of 108 credits in total (the full text is set out in the MU Study and Examination Regulations and the Guidelines for the Recognition of Courses at FI).

Will I receive a university degree for completing lifelong learning?

No, it is not possible to receive a degree for completing a lifelong learning programme, only a certificate of completion. A bachelor's degree can only be obtained by completing a regular bachelor's degree.
