Classes and Examinations

Exam dates according to the individual examination plan
The academic year of VŠEM is divided into three terms: September – December (the 1st term, autumn), January –April (the 2nd term, winter), May – August (the 3rd term, summer). An interactive communication (student – school, student – teacher – student) is stressed between the teaching and the examination periods by means of the Student’s information system (SIS, Study form, WebForum, WebMail, E-learning).

Classes

Studies take the form of workshops organized during the whole academic year (September – June). The system, teaching days and the spacing between the workshops differ according to the mode of study (full-time or part-time).

Direct instruction takes the form of lectures, seminars and consultations. It requires the student’s attendance.

During the workshops, students become familiar with the basic structure of the subject in relation to the study materials used, the basis of the subjects is introduced and the students get an overall insight into the area of interest. The key topics are discussed and the most important methodological procedures are explained.

Indirect instruction (self-study) is implemented between the workshops and the examination periods. The students are supposed to work independently with appropriate study materials, using the support of WebForum (off-line communication student – teacher – student), E-learning and the study texts designated for the part-time study mode.

Exams

The exams can be taken at any time of the year (12 months). Students have to make their own individual examination plan (IEP), based on the examination dates assigned in the Students’ information system (SIS) of VŠEM.

Open examination sessions (OES) (OES K1/K2: from 9 a.m., OES P1/P2: from 2 p.m.) apply to all the study subjects (a student can take any amount of examination tests) and to all study groups according to the study mode (full-time or part-time) and the study major.

Restricted examination sessions (RES) (8 a.m. – 9 a.m.) apply for a particular study subject (i.e. a student is allowed to take only one test). There is not a RES assigned for all the subjects.

Extraordinary examination sessions (EES) can be taken not only during the examination periods, i.e. anytime during the office hours of the Study Department (a student can take any amount of tests). Taking one EES test is charged at CZK 1,000 and the fee can be paid by bank transfer or in cash at the Study Department.
