Dear students, esteemed colleagues,
Based on the decision of the Government of the Czech Republic from 14.12.2020, universities in the Czech Republic are moving to the 4th level of the national PES system from Monday 21.12.2020. For HAMU’s operations, from 21.12.2020 until 23.12.2020 this means the following:
a) all years of all fields of study and programmes: individual consultation with pedagogues of the main field in the format of at most 1 teacher, 1 student and, if necessary, 1 accompanist
b) preparation for individual consultation: in the format of at most 1 student and, if necessary, 1 accompanist. Students can only use the classrooms or practice rooms of their department. The departments will decide whether or not they will use the existing reservation systems on weekdays for individual consultations and for their preparation. To reserve the classrooms on Saturday and Sunday, the reservation system must be used or the corresponding secretariat of the departments must be informed of the reservation no later than by Friday at 12 p.m.
c) the teaching of theoretical subjects: remains in remote (online) format for all years. Teachers may use the faculty’s technical facilities for these lessons.
During their entire stay in the faculty buildings, the teachers and students are obliged to maintain all hygienic directives, in particular covering their mouth and nose (this does not apply to players of instruments and singers when performing), social distancing of at least 2 metres and regular disinfection of hands.
Other technical/organisational/administrative instructions:
