Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is there an entrance exam for the Bachelor’s programme in Economics?
Yes, but it is held remotely, so applicants do not need to travel to Prague to take it.
2. Which documents do I need for my application?
- A motivation video,
- a copy of your passport
- an officially certified copy of the foreign secondary education document,
- a certificate from the relevant foreign secondary school or other competent foreign authority stating that a graduate of the secondary education programme of the foreign secondary school in question is entitled to apply for admission to a bachelor’s degree programme in that foreign country,
- an official translation of the above documents into Czech or English, if necessary.
Don’t worry if you have not yet received your diploma. Most of our applicants graduate after the application deadline, so you only need to submit the diploma once you have it. See the next question for details.
3. Can I apply if I do not have my high school diploma yet?
Yes. Many high schools finish their academic year after our April deadline, so you do not need to submit your diploma with the other documents. If you are admitted, you will submit it at enrolment in September.
4. What does “recognition of previous education” mean?
Every student who completed high school outside the Czech Republic must submit an official recognition of their high school leaving certificate no later than enrolment day in September. You can find out how to obtain it on the Assessment of Foreign Education page.
5. Is there an application fee?
Yes. A fee of EUR 100 must be paid with your application to cover the administrative costs of the admission procedure.
6. Where can I live, and where can I eat?
Students can live in the university’s Jarov I dormitory, about 15 minutes by tram from the main campus in Žižkov, where classes and seminars are held. Meals are available at student prices both in the dormitory and on campus, and there are also plenty of restaurants and cafés near the university.
7. How much is the tuition fee?
The tuition fee is EUR 3 000 per semester, or EUR 6 000 per academic year. It must be paid before the start of each semester. Please also budget for accommodation and other living expenses, such as health insurance, meals and transport, which are not included in the tuition fee.
8. What will I need to live in the dormitory?
The dormitories provide basic equipment such as bed linen and desk lamps. However, the kitchenettes are not equipped with dishes or cookware, so we recommend buying these after you arrive in Prague, where they are inexpensive. For more details, including prices, see the accommodation price list.
