The
Bachelor study programme usually takes three to four years and covers all the
main disciplines, except Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy,
Law and some other fields. The programme aims at providing a qualification to both practise a profession
and continue studying in a master's programme. This cycle leads to the academic
degree of "bakalář" (Bc.) or "bakalář umění" (BcA.) in the
field of Arts. Students must sit for a state final examination, part of which
is usually the defence of the Bachelor thesis.
