To qualify for the second round, applicants must obtain at least 25 points.

In case there are only few applicants, the dean can, with the approval of the section subject-area board, waive the admission exam and accept all the applicants who hold the degree required.

It is necessary to submit one application for each study programme.

The students are expected to write their thesis in the field of the maior programme. An exception to this rule (i.e. writing a thesis in the field of the minor programme) has to be approved by a dean after a student’s application for such a change.
For the programmes in Social epidemiology, Global migration and development studies and Geology, the applicants are required to submit a motivation letter together with their application.
The admission fee is 880 CZK and it is paid for each application submitted. The fee must be paid by 29 February 2024.
