I. Faculty of Humanities (FHS)

History

The Faculty of Humanities (FHS) is Charles University’s youngest faculty. Originally founded

in the early 1990s as the Institute for Liberal Education, it was elevated to the rank of a Faculty

in 2000, the vision being that it would offer study programmes at the Bachelor, Master and PhD levels

in various humanities and social science disciplines not yet established at CU. The FHS quickly gained

a reputation as a progressive school with innovative study programmes and teaching methods.

Mission

The mission of the Faculty of Humanities is through high-quality education to endow students with

the ability to lead a fulfilling life in this increasingly complex and changing world.

Goals

to provide education in the humanities and social sciences that meets the highest international

standards;

to achieve excellence in research and integrate it with education;

to cultivate the ability of students to learn throughout life and encourage self-responsibility

and a commitment to society;

to promote the mobility of the FHS’s increasingly international student body and academic

staff.

Science and Research

The Faculty of Humanities is dedicated to excellence in various areas of academic research.

The Faculty participates in international and national research projects and promotes young

researchers’ academic development.

Research at the Faculty of Humanities is supervised by the Department of Science and Research.

The list of all research projects is available on the department’s website: fhs.cuni.cz/FHSENG-

367.html.

Examples of the most important projects:

MA DEGREE STUDY PROGRAMMES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

i. Deutsche und franzözische Philosophie in Europa (Europhilosophie)

Das Angebot umfasst Lehrveranstaltungen in deutscher Sprache mit den Schwerpunkten klassische

und moderne deutsche Philosophie, französische Philosophie des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, deutsche

und französische Phänomenologie sowie internationale Rezeption der deutschen und französischen

Philosophie. Alle seitens der Studierenden zu erbringenden Leistungen wie Hausarbeiten, Referate

ii. Historical Sociology

The aim of the study programme of historical sociology is to cultivate research activities

and the education of experts with a specialisation in the issues of long-term social processes

and trends that have a significant impact on life of contemporary societies. Above all, it deals with

the problems of modernisation and social change, globalisation trends and influences, integration

and disintegration processes, relationship of continuity and discontinuity, religious and cultural

pluralism, linking the global to the local, identification of the chances and risks of social development,

analysis of conflict situations and the possibility of overcoming them. The need for understanding

of all of these issues invokes the need for the development of adequate theoretical and methodological

approaches, and also of the specific training of university students.

iii. Oral History and Contemporary History

The two-year Master’s study programme in Oral History and Contemporary History is intended

for students interested in contemporary (European) history, in interviewing methodologies

and in interpretative methods. Its main aim is to train students to conduct research through creating

and analysing interviews, and developing fieldwork projects to address those historical

and contemporary issues that require interdisciplinary investigation. The Master is divided into two

sections, the first covers contemporary (Czech and international) history and events, the second is

methodological and focuses on various interviewing techniques through which we can study

contemporary history. It binds together two general approaches of studying history, the macro

and micro approaches, and enables a thorough understanding of recent events in history. The Master

Study Programme in Oral and Contemporary History has practical applications in academic

and university research, historic preservation and legal and human rights work.

PHD STUDY PROGRAMMES IN ENGLISH

i. General Anthropology

The postgraduate doctoral study programme at FHS CU is organised in the full-time (3 years)

and correspondence form of study. The programme allows studies focused on philosophical,

historical, socio-cultural and socio-linguistic anthropology and human ethology. The task

of the programme in general is grasping the theoretical basics and methods of this field and mastering

the methodology of academic research. The curriculum of PhD students includes: the studies are

organised in two modules, whereas the first module is compulsory for all students in the programme,

the second one is selected on the basis of the consultations with the supervisor; Ph.D. seminar:

a compulsory language exam; the defence of the student’s dissertation. The concept of the study

programme is determined by the study programme board.

ii. Environmental Studies

The objective of the doctoral programme Environmental Studies is to provide the concept

of sustainable development with support in the form of scientifically conducted research.

An important aspect of the program is the interdisciplinary character of the defined research domains

and the synergies among them. Although it is not the main goal of the study, we assume that

the research outputs could be an important source of scientifically validated information for objective,

relevant and qualified decision-making on environmental aspects of the economic and social

development of the Czech Republic.

Head of the Civil Sector Studies Programme:

doc. Ing. Marie Dohnalová, CSc. ([email protected])






Head of the Historical Sociology Programme:

doc. PhDr. Jiří Šubrt, CSc. ([email protected])






iii. Civil Sector Studies

The aim of the program is to prepare highly qualified experts in civil society studies with knowledge

of the relevant theoretical approaches, sound knowledge of research methodology and in-depth

knowledge of the actual situation and practical problems in this area both in the Czech Republic

and abroad. Alumni are able to take part in both basic and applied research in academic institutions

and higher education institutions as well as become involved in the civil sector, public sphere (above

all the state administration) and for-profit sector (corporate social responsibility, philanthropy

and volunteering). The program is focused on sociological or socio-economic analysis of the civic

sector. The study plan of a PhD student includes planned publication activities, participation

at conferences and exams from obligatory and obligatory-optional courses according

to the accreditation documents. Upon completing the study with a doctoral exam and the defence

of a PhD thesis, the student receives a Ph.D. title. The content and framework of the study is

determined by the study programme board.

iv. Historical Sociology

The main topics of Historical Sociology are the questions of social change, modernization and its

processes, civilization analysis, the formation of states and nations, and the formation of global

systems and globalization. These are observed by means of large scale comparative analysis, which

includes both broad territorial areas and time intervals. The field comprises a number of specific

research areas, including the question of collective mentalities, habits and social memory. Historical

sociology is a varied and internally differentiated discipline, which feeds into a number of specialised

research directions and also supports research at an empirical level.

Head of the Applied Ethics Programme:

prof. PhDr. RNDr. Helena Haškovcová ([email protected])






v. Applied Ethics

Study of Applied Ethics is about systematic training in critical reflection on own and others attitudes,

in recognition of hidden assumptions and prejudices and overlooked ethical issues. We can say

in other words that it is about deepening understanding approach – and in this case it is the area

of humanities in a broad sense. The aim of these studies is therefore an effort to create a space

for systematic scientific work that focuses on the ethical dimension of various disciplines

or professions. During the studies the adepts have to manage also the methods of scientific work

and its professional presentation. Study plan for PhD. students includes: so called comparative

examination: one-term course completed by an examination in the fields, which the candidate has not

studied, but which are necessary for doctoral studies; compulsory part: two two-term courses

completed by an examination; optional part: a choice of six one-term courses completed

by an examination; other duties: an article in peer-reviewed publications, 2 reviews, 2 lectures,

seminar for students, participation in two conferences.

PHD STUDY PROGRAMMES IN FRENCH

i. Philosophie allemande et française

Ces études doctorales de troisième cycle sont ouvertes sous la forme interne et externe. La filière

« philosophie allemande et française » s’oriente sur la philosophie classique allemande (à partir

de Kant), la réaction à celle-ci, puis la phénoménologie (tout particulièrement celle de Husserl) ainsi

que sa réception et son développement en France, de la philosophie de la vie et de l’existence,

de l’herméneutique, de l’ontologie phénoménologique, jusqu’aux modifications actuelles

de la phénoménologie et aux derniers développements de la philosophie française contemporaine.

Elle permet l’étude de leurs conditions historiques et de leurs influences mutuelles dans l’espace

intellectuel et culturel européen. Cette filière propose ainsi une préparation exigeante

et professionnelle à la recherche et au déploiement des approches philosophiques actuelles qui

se sont formées en Europe centrale et en France et qui influencent fondamentalement les débats

sur la scène philosophique internationale. Le programme d’études du doctorant inclut des activités

de publication, la participation à des colloques et le passage des examens dans les matières

obligatoires et facultatives, au choix selon le manuel d’accréditation. Les études s’achèvent

par l’examen doctoral d’État et par la soutenance de la thèse de doctorat, après lesquels l’étudiant

obtiendra le titre Ph.D.

prof. PhDr. Miroslav Marcelli, CSc. ([email protected])




Language of instruction: French


ii. Sémiotique et de la communication

Caractéristique d’école doctorale: Etant constituée de façon interdisciplinaire, l’école doctorale

Sémiotique et philosophie de communication propose une préparation scientifique exigeante qui

conduit à la recherche philosophique et sémiotique qualifiée de la communication, de son évolution

et de ses relations avec d’autres milieux sociaux. L’enjeu principal de l’école doctorale est l’étude

philosophique des stratégies, des présupposés et des effets de communication. Bien qu’elle est conçue

de manière théorique, elle peut aussi bien disposer l’étudiant à pénétrer dans la pratique médiatique

de masse, parce qu’elle aide à comprendre le rôle de la sémiosis dans le processus de médiation.

Les étudiants sont menés à prolonger les lignes traditionnelles de recherche en sémiotique

et philosophie de communication tchèque et mondiale, ainsi qu’à suivre les connaissances théoriques

actuelles et à les développer de façon créative.
