PROGRAM
Spend a semester or year in Brno, Czech Republic!  Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic by population and area, the largest Moravian city, and the historical capital city of the Margraviate of Moravia. The city lies at the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers and has about 400,000 inhabitants.  Masaryk University offers a variety of courses in English, Czech language training, a buddy system, on-campus accommodation, and many other student services.  Take in the beauty of the Czech Republic in Brno!

COURSES AND CREDITS
A list of the courses offered in English at Masaryk University is available at the course information link.  Czech language courses are also available.  Students applying to this program should plan to meet with the appropriate academic advisors to help determine course selection and to seek the necessary course approval(s).

All students will be registered by the Study Abroad Office as full-time students during their semester abroad, which is 12 hours for undergraduate students and 9 hours for graduate students.  Undergraduate students must return with the equivalent of at least 12 hours of credit on their host university transcript (9 hours for graduate students).  Students can take additional hours and are not limited to the minimum full-time requirement while abroad.  All courses are graded on an ABCDF scale.  There is no Pass/Fail.

HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS
Students live in an on-campus dormitory.

For the Masaryk University exchange, students are responsible for paying:

• Current, full-time, UM tuition (including non-resident fees, if applicable)
• UM Study Abroad fee (includes the cost for international health insurance)

ELIGIBILITY

FINANCIAL AID
In general, financial aid will apply to UM study abroad programs.  All students should review the study abroad information on the Financial Aid Office website.  It is the student’s responsibility to meet with a financial aid advisor to discuss how aid packages apply to study abroad.  Third party scholarships may also be available for specific programs, so students should discuss study abroad early and often with the Study Abroad Office and the Financial Aid Office.

For current tuition costs, the Office of the Bursar provides a tuition estimator.
