IS MU
All activities related to studies are carried out at Masaryk University via the Information System (IS MU).
Through IS you can electronically register and enrol in courses not only from your field of study but you can also extend your studies with courses from other faculties and fields of study. After your initial enrolment, you no longer need to go to the study department, look at notice boards or make enquiries. All information can be found in the IS MU. You can create a timetable (choose seminar groups) directly in IS, have study materials for courses, register for exams, find out the grades of written work and much more.
You also have your own university e-mail address through which you can communicate with your teachers and classmates.
For more information, see IS Help.
