Summer School of Slavonic Studies

The Summer School of Slavonic Studies (the SSSS) consists of study courses provided by several public higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. The courses are held every year during summer months (July, August, September). Their length ranges from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the content chosen by the individual institutions organising the SSSS. These include CharlesUniversity in Prague, MasarykUniversity in Brno, University of WestBohemia in Plzeň, University of SouthBohemia in České Budějovice, PalackýUniversity in Olomouc and the Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies inPoděbrady[LL1] (an educational centre that is part of CharlesUniversity in Prague).

The courses are designed for foreign students, experts (teachers, translators, interpreters) and academics in the field of Bohemistic and Slavic studies. Due to their broad coverage they are also open for all individuals who are interested in the Czech language, literature, history and culture. As part of its educational sections the SSSS offers Czech language courses at various levels, seminars focusing on Czech literature, culture and history, free-time activities including theatre, music and dance performances, excursions, trips etc.
