Grading system

Assessment of Studies:

1. The basic forms of the study assessment are:

  • zápočet = subject pass (without examination)
  • zkouška = an examination
  • kolokvium = a colloquium
  • státní zkouška = state final examination

2. During the course of a semester, other forms of study assessment may be employed:

  • monitoring queries
  • written tests
  • individual assignments
  •  semestral assignment

       In compliance with the subject syllabus, the results of these assessments may be accordingly taken into account during the examination.

3. The results of the subject passes (without examination) and examinations are recorded in the USB on-line study agenda IS STAG

4. At the same time, the documentation of the students’ results is kept in the printed record of a student’s studies, which has two forms - a student record book (“index”) and a catalogue of subject passes (without examination) and examinations. Based on the IS STAG documentation, the International Office (Exchange students) or the Study Department (degree students) of the Faculty carries out administration related to the admission procedure of applicants, their enrolment, studies and the proper completion of study.

The examination marks correspond with the ECTS credit system:

The examination result of a student enrolled in a Doctoral degree programme is evaluated by the examiner using the mark “passed” (“prospěl”) or “failed” (“neprospěl”).

Examination period

  • The examinations and resit examinations usually take place during the examination period specified in the schedule of the relevant academic year.
  • The examiner determines and announces a sufficient number of examination dates for individual subjects no later than three weeks before the end of the teaching period in the semester.
