The Dutch Studies
Dutch Studies is a program that deals with the study of the Dutch language spoken by 21.5 million people in the Netherlands and Belgium, which are among the richest countries in the EU and together are the second largest investor in Central Europe, including the Czech Republic.
Knowledge of the Dutch language is not required for those interested in bachelor's programs. However, we do require good knowledge of the Czech/Slovak language at the level of a native speaker.
For examples of graduate employment, see job offers requiring Dutch language skills.
Since 2017, offers have been posted directly on the department's Facebook page.
