New approaches and specialties of Masaryk University

Masaryk University in Brno offers many interesting new humanities .

Masaryk University is distinguished by the fact that it conducts a single entrance examination, which is accepted by all faculties (except for the medical one). This exam is called the TSP - Test for Learning Prerequisites. It can be called an analogue of OSP SCIO, but it is developed and conducted by Masaryk University itself.

What is TSP?

The TSP can only be taken once (it takes place at the end of April).

The TSP test consists of 60 questions, divided into 6 tests. Verbal abilities, critical, analytical, logical, spatial thinking, general knowledge in the field of culture are tested. In the test that checks critical thinking, 6 questions are asked in a foreign language (you can choose English, German, Spanish or French).

The criterion for the success of the test, as in the case of the SCIO tests, is the percentile (the percentage of applicants who scored less or the same number of points).

How to prepare? There is no preparation literature. You just have to work through the tests of the past and train.

Masaryk University has faculties similar to those of Charles University with humanitarian specialties: the Faculty of Philosophy, the Faculty of Social Research, the Faculty of Education.

Students are often given the task of writing an essay on one of the great books on philosophy. This is not an easy task. Therefore, some students seek help in writing essays in college essay writing services. After all, such services write homework for students on various topics. For example, the grademiners service, writes essays and even dissertations on philosophy and history. Many students of this university order homework in this service.

At the Faculty of Philosophy, in addition to philological specialties, history and philosophy, such interesting areas as computational linguistics, museum science, theory and history of cinema and audiovisual culture, theory of interactive media are open. In addition to the TSP test, upon admission to some specialties of the Faculty of Philosophy, it is necessary to pass the specialty test.

“I study at the Faculty of Philosophy of Masaryk University on the program“ Theory of Interactive Media ”. What is Interactive Media Theory? Interaction is some kind of interaction. Media is anything that contains any information that we receive. Television, internet, social media. We also touch on contemporary art, which is created using technology.

I really like Masaryk University, because there is a lot of freedom in the choice of subjects. My specialty is very wide and you can choose a certain specialization - visual arts, audio art, game industry.

When I entered my specialty, I only had to pass the TSP. I have been preparing for a month, but this is only conditional, since you have been preparing to check the prerequisites for training all your life. "
