During the study of the Czech Language and Literature with a view to Education, students must obtain at least 55 credits for required linguistic and literary courses and 5 credits for didactic courses that constitute the basis of the discipline. Out of this, students choose elective courses from a wide selection according to their interests and intended professional specialization. Within the whole double-subject study, students must obtain 9 credits from elective courses offered by any study subject at PdF/MU.

During the course of their studies students should follow the "Study catalogue" for their year of matriculation. They can access the "Study catalogues" through the faculty website.

- oral examination in the Czech language that consists of general linguistic analysis of a text and a response to a theoretical question about linguistics and didactics. The questions correspond to the assigned subject areas available at http://www.ped.muni.cz/katedry-a-instituty/cesky-jazyk/studium/statni-zaverecne-zkousky;

- oral examination in Czech literature that consists of a response to a question about literary theory and history (from the beginnings of national literature up to the present) including questions about didactics of literature. The questions correspond to the assigned subject areas available at http://www.ped.muni.cz/katedry-a-instituty/cesky-jazyk/studium/statni-zaverecne-zkousky. The ability to interpret a literary text considering its structural layers and literary-historical context is another requirement for passing the examination in Czech literature.

Both of these examinations have the same value.
