The required subject is systematic theology (Hussite), and the candidate chooses one of the other theological subjects (biblical theology, practical theology, church history).
According to paragraph 1 of Article 4 of the Rigorous Examination Regulations of Charles University, the state rigorous examination consists of two parts: the oral examination and the defense of a rigorous thesis.
In the programmes of Hussite Theology and Orthodox Theology, the oral examination consists of (among other things) the Latin, Greek, or Hebrew language. If a candidate has already passed an examination in one of these languages as part of his/her Master’s studies with an “excellent” or “very good” grade, this examination may be recognized by the Dean at his/her request.
