Palacký University Olomouc - UPOL
speciality: Education

Palacký University in Olomouc is a place where history meets modernity, but what truly makes it special is the student culture that permeates the city. The student-run café-bar network, like the infamous Vertigo, offers spaces to socialize, study, or even catch a poetry slam. As a student of psychology, I appreciated the university’s emphasis on hands-on learning through partnerships with local clinics and NGOs. Olomouc is compact, meaning everything – from lecture halls to your favorite bakery – is within walking distance. What’s often overlooked is the university’s thriving tradition of volunteering. From environmental clean-ups to cultural festivals like Academia Film Olomouc, there’s always a way to contribute and connect. The Botanical Garden near the Faculty of Science became my go-to spot for peaceful reflection after a long day. Palacký University isn’t just an institution; it’s a community deeply embedded in one of the most charming cities in Europe.

Getting a degree Programeme in Upol was a dream come true. As a foreign student, I took my studies seriously and leveraged every opportunity to acquire more knowledge in and outside the school. I had always wanted to study abroad, I would say again that it was a dream come true. I loved that my school had students from various parts of the world. The education system was thorough and motivating. In UPOL Students are given the opportunity to study in their own pace and at the same time, the examination criteria must be met.
I didn’t not have a chance to engage in any internships during my study because of the covid situation. I am really excited about the opportunity
