Tertiary education is realised in two main types of institutions:
- Higher education institutions (vysoké školy) provide higher education (Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes) regulated by the Higher Education Act.
- Tertiary professional schools (vyšší odborné školy) provide tertiary professional education regulated by the Education Act.
In terms of the founder, higher education institutions and tertiary professional schools can be:
- public institutions (legally established)
- private institutions, existing on the basis of the state approval
- state-run institutions (only in the case of military and police academies), legally established under the control of the relevant ministries
