“…As we can see, the leaving rate is more or less the same for all the classes. Students' uncertainty of the right choice of the study program as well as the so called "first encounter with the university type of study" (which is completely different from the high school type of study) [21] influenced the downtrend in the first year. In the second and third year of study, the trend is still decreasing, but its slope is smaller.…”

The military university type of education in the Czech Republic is provided by the University of Defence. As other universities, it has to deal with students prematurely leaving their studies. We have collected available data to assess students’ dropout rate. Using parametric and nonparametric methods, we identified that the highest leaving rate occurs during the first study year reaching a maximum after five and a half months from the studies beginning, then it gradually slows down. We assume that our results can help the academics and commanders to make timely decision and positively encourage the students in their studies.

“…According to experts, every university today should not only be interested in whether students have obtained the appropriate number of credits, but how they obtain them, what efforts they must make to obtain them, because it is in these areas that researchers identify the main reasons for students to decide early end. Answers to such questions are provided by a sociopsychological view of the study load [17], which puts the student and his abilities in the spotlight, where it is true that the individual's success to cope with study conditions is determined by his ability to manage stress. In this context, many universities mention an increase in the prevalence of reported stress, anxiety and depression among university students [18] [19].…”

Socio-psychological research on the study load and ways of coping with it is provided to university management by a number of valuable information for improving the educational process and expanding counselling services for students. The aim of the article is to supplement the general knowledge of the structure of the study load and ways of managing it in a specific area of study such as the study of a military university. The article informs about the results of a pilot research carried out on a sample of 254 first-year students of economic-managerial and technical specialization of military studies. The main goal of this research was primarily to verify whether the biggest burden is still the greatest burden on students and military management. Military students differ significantly in their preferred workload management strategies from their civilian counterparts. Data were collected using the usual method for this type of research – the method of questioning, which was implemented through two questionnaires: Questionnaire of stressful situations and standardized questionnaire Stress Management Strategy – SVF 78. The first questionnaire was created for this research based on analogy of available questionnaire from a school environment for research in the civilian environment of lower education levels. The results were processed using the program STATISTICS CZ 12, evaluated using relevant statistical methods (Anova, Mann-Whitney test). Based on the results, the validity of the general assumption could not be proved, as the greatest burden of probands saw in the organizational provision only parts of military education, for which the specific organizational unit of the school is responsible. Positive findings include a preference for positive strategies for managing the military study load over negative ones, in which military students agree with civilian students. For military students, compared to the assumptions, statistically significant differences in the use of some strategies depending on gender were demonstrated; differences depending on the field of study could not be demonstrated. Despite the local validity of specific results, the text can be beneficial for a wider academic environment both in the field of methodology and knowledge
