British Centre

The British Centre library will be closed on 28 and 29 October for the national holiday. 

Our advanced English courses at Cambridge English levels (FCE, CAE, CPE) will prepare you for Cambridge English exam. The courses are led by experienced and qualified teachers and combine grammar and vocabulary study with the development of the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The courses start in October 2015 and end in May 2016. 

You can register here. More information can be found here. 

In cooperation with Cambridge University Press, we offer a seminar for English teachers led by Mgr. Jana Čadová.

On Wednesday, October 19, from 2.30 pm to 4.15 pm. More information can be found here.

Entrance free of charge, you can register here.

As the number of library items defaced by borrowers has recently increased significantly, which (especially in the case of tests) reduces their utility value, we are, from September 2016, introducing a system of thorough checks of borrowed items.

All users are kindly requested to check whether the items are not damaged before borrowing.

Any items with a loan date after September 19, 2016 returned to the BC in a defaced condition will, in compliance with the UP Library Regulations, be considered damaged and the borrower requested to pay their full price.

You can register for the autumn session of the computer-based FCE and CAE exams and the paper-based FCE exam. For online registration, please, click here. For dates and more information, please, click here.

In cooperation with the Uplift Language School we organize the mock Cambridge Exams for those interested in passing one of these internationally recognized language exams. The next mock exams will be held on October 10, 2015. The online application form is available here.

Test your English skills with the placement tests available on the computers in the British Centre. The tests will help you choose the exam, course or study materials to match your language level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2).

The Oxford Quick Placement Test and the Cambridge Placement Test are interactive tests consisting of listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary. No dictionaries are used, the tests are anonymous, and the results are only available to you.
