The College of European and Regional Studies is the first and largest private higher education institution in the South Bohemian Region. It was established on April 3, 2001 as a public benefit corporation by the founders of the Meridionalis Endowment Fund and its partner, the Secondary School of Informatics and Legal Studies. After two years, state approval from the Accreditation Commission allowed it to operate. It later opened a branch in Příbram, where a Memorandum on its presence in the city was signed on May 26, 2004. Study here to prepare for the Integrated Rescue System, public administration, its institutions and units. You gain European-standard knowledge for administrative and legal processes, protection of public law, people, property, public order, lives, health and property values, protection against antisocial phenomena, and emergency and crisis prevention and preparedness.
