The Summer Schools of Slavonic Studies offering intensive Czech language courses are organised by several public universities in the Czech Republic: Charles University (Faculty of Arts, Prague), Charles University Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies, Poděbrady, Masaryk University (Faculty of Arts, Brno), Palacký University in Olomouc (Faculty of Arts, Olomouc), and the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (Faculty of Arts, České Budějovice). The courses are held during the summer months (July – September), their length ranges from 3 to 4 weeks depending on the course content determined by each Summer School and are designed for foreign students, teachers, translators and interpreters and other experts active in the field of Czech/Slavonic studies. Due to their broad scope they are, however, open to anyone else who is interested in the Czech language, literature, history and culture. The Summer Schools offer language courses at various levels of proficiency, seminars on the Czech literature, culture and history, free-time activities including theatrical, musical and dance performances, trips etc.
