What do we offer for incoming students?

The Film Studies Department is one of the most important partners in the university‘s program for foreign students. Thus, in addition to courses in the Czech language, the department also offers several courses in English, mostly focused on animated film and ecocritical/ ecomedia thinking.

Besides that, incoming students are welcome to attend courses offered by other Departments at the Faculty of Arts, mostly focusing on specific national cultures and their cinemas (eg. courses on Hungarian or Scandinavian cinema, Iranian cinema, etc.), but are also encouraged to study courses in the broader realm of arts and culture. To attend courses at other university faculties is also possible under specific conditions.

Since the department’s course plans change every semester and are finalized later than when students compile their Learning Agreements, it is necessary to allow for a certain degree of uncertainty at this initial stage and to adjust the LA after arrival in Prague according to the current offer. A week before the start of the semester, students are contacted by Erasmus coordinator, Lucie Česálková, with an update on the current offer.

In the information system, you will find a number of courses labeled as Erasmus Department Courses. These serve as an opportunity to include courses arranged through other institutions (such as FAMU, the Prague Film School) or block courses taught by visiting professors in the program for incoming students (and mirror them in the information system). Among such regularly recurring courses are, for example, courses taught by Nick Hudac, such as: “Politics, Visuality, and Experimentation : Czech and Slovak Cinema from the 1950’s to Present” or “Genre and Experimentation: Central European Cinema in Context” (the offer changes regularly and students are informed at the beginning of the semester).

The Film Studies Department Erasmus+ Coordinator is Lucie Česálková (lucie.cesalkova@ff.cuni.cz)
