Student awards
The Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and external institutions and foundations announce a number of awards and competitions during the academic year, which not only academic staff members participate in, but students as well.
Faculty of Arts awards
Each year, the Faculty of Arts announces the Jan Palach Award, which is currently the only student award for the entire faculty. The Department of Romance Studies also organizes for its students the Kateřina Krausová Award, the Department of Psychology the Professor Zdeněk Matějček Award, and the Department of English Language and ELT Methodology with the Department of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures the Mathesius Award.

Charles University awards
One of the most important awards that Charles University organizes each year is the Bolzano Award, which is intended for students of all three academic levels for outstanding theses that have been published or defended during the recently ending academic year. Other awards at Charles University include two awards of the Rector of Charles University (the Rector’s Award for the Best Graduates of Charles University and the Rector’s Extraordinary Award), the Bedřich Hrozný Award for Creative Work or Charles University’s Miroslav Petrusek Award for Presentation.

Awards outside Charles University
External institutions (foundations, funds, associations, etc.) provide students and employees of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University with many other opportunities to win awards for their achievements. Searching for external awards is a very individual matter (especially in relation to the subject area or type of output), so compiling a complete list of external awards is not possible. To a large extent, the search for new opportunities (what awards to participate in) is up to the students themselves or their departments and institutes.
