  Tentative semester dates:

  1. Registration and welcome meeting for all arriving foreign students takes place at the beginning of every semester (usually one week before classes start) - invitation will be sent out well in advance. You will get detailed on-site information about the exchange programme, and you will have the chance to meet your fellow international students. Local Student Associations might organize extracurricular events around the date of this meeting.
      
  2. Register for your courses in the first week of each semester through our online Student Information System. Courses indicated in your Application Form/Learning Agreement are subject to this online registration (usually the capacity of the courses is not limited, but there may be exceptions to this general rule).
      
  3. Exchange students may also attend LL.M. courses in English if the class capacity allows. Registration takes place in the first week of each semester.
      
     

     Exchange students get credits for their LL.M. courses, but are not eligible for the degree. Shall you decide to return to Prague to get your LL.M. degree after your graduation from your home university, the LL.M. courses you have passed successfully during your exchange stay will be recognized.

      
  4. Exams are held at the end of each semester. The form of the final assessment (written/oral exams, take-home essays) is to be found in the course information in the Student Information System and you will also receive this information at the introductory session of each course. During the winter semester exams are generally held before the Christmas holidays, during the summer semester in May/June, except for alternative or re-sit exams that may be scheduled for another time. Transcript of Records and Confirmation of the Exchange Study Period will be sent to your home university upon completion of your exchange stay.
      
     

     Check with your home university/faculty of law the rules on recognition of credits earned at the CU Faculty of Law for successful completion of the courses.
