Moravian University Olomouc

What Moravian University Olomouc does

Moravian University Olomouc (MVŠO, legally Moravská vysoká škola Olomouc, o.p.s.) is a private higher education institution founded in 2005 and headquartered at tř. Kosmonautů 1288/1, Olomouc, Czech Republic. It operates as a public benefit company (o.p.s.) and delivers Bachelor and Master programmes in Economics & Management (taught in English), with four additional programmes (Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Accounting and Taxation, Marketing and Multimedia, Corporate and Managerial HR) currently in accreditation. The institution serves domestic and international students, regional businesses, educators seeking accredited CPD, and corporate clients. Its core academic activity is complemented by a lifelong learning portfolio (online English courses, primary/secondary school workshops, corporate training in project/time/HR/conflict management), MVŠO Cultural and Study Programmes, and the "How to Startup" subsidiary.

The institution's technology footprint is built on conventional e-learning infrastructure — EDULAM, the IS STAG academic information system, and a Multimedia Studio supporting digital teaching — rather than proprietary AI systems. Research and innovation activities are anchored in three core operating units: the Business Innovation Lab (which produces case studies on Czech and international startups and is led by Vice-Rector Tomáš Jelínek), the Regional Centre for Entrepreneurship Support (KCPP), and the Czech-Israeli Innovation and Partnership Centre. These sit within the broader BEA Centre Olomouc ecosystem, an innovation and business hub that interlinks the university with regional companies for know-how transfer.

MVŠO's go-to-market is event-driven and multi-channel. Student recruitment runs through open days, International Weeks (the 10th edition in 2025), Erasmus+ information sessions, secondary-school partnerships, and a presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and the institution's own website (www.mvso.cz). Distribution leverages Erasmus+ mobility (46 partners in 16 countries, KA131 and KA171 International Credit Mobility), direct enrolment for degree programmes, on-site and client-site delivery of professional development courses, the BEA Centre Olomouc as a regional B2B interface, and international joint courses such as the Management of Healthcare Organisations programme with Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College. Revenue streams include tuition fees, continuing-education and corporate training fees, EU Erasmus+ programme funding, VISEGRAD/BESPOKE/COMMITTED and other project grants, and online English course subscriptions. The institution holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021-2027 and, in 2020, became the first private higher education institution in the Czech Republic to receive the HR Award.
