The main topic of the paper is the possibilities of higher education in sign language in the Czech Republic, Australia, and New Zealand. The primary focus is on introducing all the universities and the courses offered, with an emphasis also on presenting the most significant differences in the organisation of teaching. In the introduction, important aspects influencing the shape of tertiary education in the respective countries are mentioned, including the historical development of deaf education, the emergence and development of sign languages and national legislation, deaf education today, and the education systems of the Czech Republic, Australia, and New Zealand. The text focuses mainly on the differences in the national qualification frameworks, credit systems, university offerings, and the organisation of teaching in different disciplines. None of the fields of study that are analysed omits the interpretation of linguistic, cultural, or historical characteristics of sign languages, and theoretical teaching is complemented by work experience in various institutions and educational establishments. On the basis of these facts, it can be concluded that, despite the differences in the organisation of the studies, the disciplines in focus are comparable in content and scope. Finally, the concept of peer learning support, which is not yet implemented at Czech universities, is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
