Czech language and literature

A student combines a major study plan with a minor study plan as part of a joint study, the application is submitted for the major study plan.

The main goal of the study is to provide students with a comprehensive bohemian education at the bachelor's level, which will enable them to work in relevant positions in accordance with the profile of the graduate, as well as to follow up with further study of the master's degree. The study prepares the graduate for various activities requiring work with language and literature (text) in various areas. Emphasis is placed on providing expert knowledge in the field of the contemporary Czech language, namely in all key sub-disciplines dedicated to individual language plans; the basic instruction in diachronic linguistics primarily provides the necessary historical context for the knowledge of the contemporary language. In the literary part of the study, the aim is mainly to provide knowledge about Czech literature in its historical changes; knowledge in the field of literary theory is primarily a necessary starting point for any work with a literary text. The wide involvement of seminar teaching allows you to build and develop the skills needed for practical application, especially to analyze and critically interpret texts of various kinds.

• The graduate is able to use appropriately specialized linguistic and literary terminology to describe the problems being solved;

• The graduate can interpret a literary text and use knowledge of the history of Czech literature in a creative way in journalistic or popularizing texts or in literary criticism.

The concept of the development of the study program responds to the need for experts in various fields, who would not only master the Czech language and literature at a high level, but also show the ability to work professionally with texts written in Czech of various functions, i.e. a theoretical background in linguistics and literary science; SP ensures the acquisition of such knowledge, skills and abilities that correspond to the scope of the issue given by the applicable legislation and the agendas of the relevant authorities, organizations and companies. At the same time, the study program is designed in such a way as to create prerequisites for further study in the follow-up master's degree for gifted students, who will subsequently deepen their knowledge, especially at the theoretical and methodological level, and increase their applicability on the labor market.

The student is required to obtain a total of 180 credits during his studies. In study plan 1 ("comprehensive"), it is necessary to obtain 118 credits for compulsory subjects, at least 12 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type A (6 in group PVA1 and 6 in group PVA2) and at least 33 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type B. In study plans for combined studies, in the case of SP major, the student will receive 81 credits for compulsory subjects, at least 6 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type A (3 in group PVA1 and 3 in group PVA2) and at least 3 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type B (i.e. in a total of at least 90 credits); in addition, he obtains at least 9 credits for optional subjects, which he chooses from the FPF SU offer, ideally from the subjects included in the PVA and PVB groups of this study plan. In total, a student will receive 99 credits when studying the major study plan. In the case of the SP minor, the student will receive 64 credits for compulsory subjects, at least 6 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type A (3 from group PVA1 and 3 from group PVA2) and at least 3 credits for compulsory elective subjects of type B (in a set of 73 credits); in addition, he obtains at least 8 credits for optional subjects, which he chooses from the FPF SU offer, ideally from the subjects included in the PVA and PVB groups of this study plan. In total, the student will receive 81 credits while studying in the minor study plan. It is therefore a symmetrical model of joint study. As part of the combined study, the student combines the major study plan in the range of 99 credits with the minor study plan in the range of 81 credits. The study plans contain 13 basic theoretical subjects of the profiling basis, which are common to all study plans (57 credits); in them, students acquire core knowledge of the theory and history of literature and synchronic and diachronic linguistics. They are supplemented by 16 other basic profiling subjects, of which 6 PVA (in SP major 10, of which 6 PVA; in SP minor 8, of which 6 PVA). The subjects of the profiling foundation cover the vast majority of items listed in the study objective and the graduate profile, and the subjects of the state final exam are derived from them (the subjects of the state final examination are different for study plans for combined studies and naturally include only those profiling subjects that are part of the given study plans ). Mandatory optional subjects complement and deepen the knowledge of students in a wide range of areas and thus enable a choice corresponding to the student's focus, his future study or professional profile. Compulsory elective subjects of type A (which are part of the profiling basis) are divided into two groups (a group focused on language and a group focused on literature), with the student having to choose from both groups. These subjects are designed as a deepening of the knowledge and skills acquired in basic theoretical subjects, they mostly compare the knowledge obtained in various of these subjects. Their inclusion in the content of the state final exam reflects their specific character. The study load is distributed evenly (in the form of recommended grades for completing subjects), in the case of compulsory elective subjects, care is taken to ensure that there are enough subjects to choose from in each semester and at the same time that the student has the opportunity to fulfill the specified minimum number of completed credits required for the proper completion of the academic year.

The graduate is prepared to continue studying a follow-up master's program in the same or related field.
