Starting with the IS
Information system of MUNI (IS) – you will use it throughout your studies. The sooner you master it, the better for you.

The most important topics for you at the beginning are:

Information system (IS) – your studies will not work without mastering it!

Where to ask when you are lost?
If you are lost, before you contact someone with a question, try to see if you can’t find the answer yourself on the web. For study-related matters, use the Student section on our web pages. Another important source of information is the MU Information System, which has its own help section.
If you do not find the answer to your question, the easiest way is to ask. However, it is important to ask at the right place, where they will be able to advise you. There are basically several options:
- Study coordinator
- Teachers
- Classmates or students in higher semesters (create a FB group with your classmates)
- Support centre for students with special needs
