Creating a smarter world since 1919

Long: 

Masaryk University is one of the most prestigious and respected higher education institutions in Central Europe. MU offers excellent quality study programmes for an affordable fee to nearly 35,000 currently enrolled students, including over 7,000 international students.

Masaryk University, bearing the name of the first Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk, was founded in the 2nd largest city of the Czech Republic, Brno, in 1919. In more than 100 years of its existence, Masaryk University has succeeded in educating over 170,000 graduates, who have excelled in many fields and in many countries around the world. According to regular surveys, 98% of Masaryk University graduates find employment in their field.

In 2010 Masaryk University became the first Czech institution to hold the European Credit Transfer System Label, a certificate issued by the European Commission as proof of the university’s high educational standards and a guarantee of the correct implementation of the credit system in all Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes. Adoption of this system helped support the internationalization efforts, which resulted in an increase in the number of international students, who now make up about 20 % of all students.

Over the past decade, MU has attracted more European investment funding than any other university in the country, enabling the birth of several state-of-the-art facilities and research centres, mainly on Masaryk’s new campus inaugurated in 2010. They include the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC), the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment (RECETOX), the Centre of Experimental, Systematic and Ecological Biology (CESEB) and the Laboratory for Experimental Research in Religion (LEVYNA), attracting an elite group of researchers and students from around the world.

MU is also strongly committed to offering its students first class services: in recent years, the university has consistently been awarded two European quality labels—the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) label and the Diploma Supplement (DS) label. It was also the recipient of the first-ever prize awarded by the European Association for International Education (EAIE) for Innovation in Internationalization (2013), the EUNIS Elite Award for implementing information systems in higher education (2005), the Erasmus Quality Label (2015), and the Erasmus Student Label. No wonder, then, that in the latest QS ranking, Brno is ranked Number 4 in the world on student satisfaction, and Masaryk University has been repeatedly chosen as the best-loved Czech university by international students.

With 10 faculties: Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, Liberal Arts, Education, Economics and Administration, Informatics, Social Studies, and Sports Studies — and approximately 1400 subject areas encompassing both traditional and newly-emerging disciplines from the natural sciences to the humanities, Masaryk employs more than 5000 people, making it the second-largest employer in the South Moravian region and likely the most dynamic institution of higher education in the country.

Twenty percent of its 35 thousand students are international students, and hundreds of visiting foreign academics contribute each year to the school’s international diversity. MU also has solid links with more than 600 universities and research institutions from around the world, some within university networks such as the Utrecht Network and the Compostela Group of Universities.

Research in Antarctica: Masaryk University experts conduct regularly research trips to Antarctica. The Masaryk research team established a MU Polar Station on James Ross Island. A journey of almost 14,000 kilometers yields valuable findings for science and academia, as well as vital insights about climate change.
