Masaryk University - Philosophical Faculty

The Faculty of Arts is one of the four faculties that founded Masaryk University. The very first lectures in Brno took place in 1921/1922 academic year for 128 students. Since its establishment the faculty has developed the traditional, humanities-oriented disciplines (primarily History, Philosophy and Classical Philology, then also Slavonic, Germanic and Romance Philology), as well as the fields that represented new research trends in the university environment at that time (Sociology, Psychology, Art History, Musicology). At present, FA keeps developing its traditional disciplines and also supports development of new branches of science.
