The Department offers chemistry studies at bachelor, master and doctoral degree levels and a special education program for secondary schools' chemistry teachers.

Research at the department is closely related to a teaching and students are encouraged to be involved in scientific projects at an early stage of their studies. The research often includes an interdisciplinary scientific work on a border of chemistry and biology, physics or computer science. A very close cooperation with institutes of Biological Center of the ASCR in a shared campus is also beneficial.

The research at the department includes biochemistry, structural biology, environmental and analytical chemistry, computer modeling in chemistry and biochemistry, mass spectrometry, biological research at the level of single molecules and a study of photosynthetic processes.

In addition to the standard study programs, the department also offers programs in cooperation with the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. It is represented by a cross-border bachelor and master degree programs in Biological Chemistry taught in English in Linz and České Budějovice.

The study of chemistry at the Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia offers students a unique opportunity to combine modern chemistry with an excellent research in biology, physics and other disciplines conducted at a progressive institution with a pleasant and friendly environment.

The Department of Physics is in the building C, finished in 2013, including laboratories (physics laboratories, electronics and audio equipment, laboratory of automation and electrical engineering), research laboratories (optical lab, laboratory of plasmas, laboratory of electronics and audio equipment), computing clusters and offices for staff and students. This background is available to students of Bachelor subjects (Physics, Physics Education, Biophysics, Measurement and Computing Technology, Mechatronics), master's degree (physical measurements and modelling, studies for high school physics teachers, biophysics) and doctoral field Biophysics.

The Department of Informatics was established in 2021 by transforming the Institute of Applied Informatics of the Faculty of Science, which was established by the decision of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Science of JU on 1 January 2009. In the field of scientific activities, our academic staff is mainly engaged in: security, simulations, multimedia, long-term archiving of electronic data, wireless sensor networks, system integration and other areas related to the application of informatics.

Note: Feel free to use the tasks on the Czech site (please expand the Quote of the Month section), designed to match the quote above and support English learning. The tasks are in Czech, but we believe that widely available cz>en translation software can assist you. If the Language Department receives feedback about continuous reader interest in having an English version of the language Quote section, we will consider creating a monthly version, similar to the Czech site.

The Language Department at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, provides language courses for students from any of the university's faculties. Along with English, we also offer courses in Spanish, German, French and Russian.

Our teaching philosophy is based on the concept of English as a lingua franca, i.e. English as a global language. That is why we provide students with the necessary language skills to study and work in an international context and to effectively communicate in both written and spoken English.

At the Bachelor level, we focus on general English, English for academic purposes and practical use of English in the workplace. At the Master’s level, we teach academic English, including academic writing, presentation and debating skills. Finally, at the PhD level, we have classes in English for specific purposes to practice the language skills specifically needed by Doctoral students.

We support communicative approaches in instruction, such as cooperative learning, task-based learning and blended learning. We emphasize the development of independent and responsible learning and believe in providing an individual approach to the learners’ needs. We encourage students to become aware of the larger cultural context involved in language learning.

The Language Department of FSci USB is committed to the principles of language teaching at universities defined by the Wulkow Memorandum.
