About us

In recent years we have seen an increase in the number of our graduates working in the fields of culture and international exchange. Our graduates work in the diplomatic service, many of them as translators and interpreters. Our study programme has the motto: To study Norwegian in Brno –it is a lifestyle! A step to the North –a step in the right direction!
