The thesis is focused on the political participation of university students in the Czech Republic. This topic has not been studied there yet.

The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic that has not been examined in the Czech Republic yet.

With regard to the results of foreign studies, wherein these students generally tend to select left-wing parties and candidates, this research focuses on students who vote for right-wing parties and candidates. The aim of this thesis is to determine the reason why Czech students have the opposite preferences than their counterparts in Western democracies.
