Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS)
Institution Info
The University’s second youngest faculty was founded in 1990, shortly after the Velvet revolution. It soon became a regional centre of teaching and research in economics, sociology, political science, international relations, area studies, media studies and journalism.
Currently, the Faculty of Social Sciences has more than 3,000 full-time students. Around 300 foreign students spend here part of their studies. It is fair to say we have students from most major language groups, and every continent except Antarctica!
The Faculty offers a full range of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs (in Czech and English) in area studies, economy, political science and international relations, sociology and social policy.
In "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" Charles University in Prague ranks as #1 in Eastern Europe and as #26 in Europe.
