The most important document concerning the admission procedure is the Conditions for the Admission to the Master study program. The document contains all essential information, dates and deadlines or a detailed description of the documents we will need from you during the admission procedure.
If you are interested in studying at our faculty and want to apply, we recommend reading the Conditions for Admission and Study Contract.
Conditions for the Admission Study Contract
Before filling out the application, you need to consider which specialization you are most interested in and then state it in the application. The choice of specialization in the application is not binding, and during the study, you can decide whether to keep it or choose another one.
You enter the admission procedure with a complete and paid application form. You can fill it out online from 1 January to 31 March 2023. We have only one round of the admission procedure, and the start of studies is on 25 September 2023.
The fee for the admission procedure is CZK 850 (approx. EUR 35 / USD 36). We recommend paying it online as soon as you fill out the application, but you can also pay with a wire transfer if necessary.
After completing the application form and paying the admission fee, you will receive a confirmation email informing you that the application has been included in the admission procedure.
You must upload all required documents through the online application portal. The deadline is 31 March 2023. A certified translation (into Czech, Slovak or English) should accompany all documents that are not in one of these languages. At the registration into the study, you must present the originals of all submitted documents for verification.
The required documents are:
Two signed copies of the Study Contract.
Documents associated with your study in a bachelor study program in Informatics or a similar field. (Remember to have your foreign education recognized, see point 6.)
One photocopy of your passport.
One photocopy of a certificate that demonstrates your proficiency in English (except for native English speakers).
Structured CV with a focus on IT skills and experience.
Optionally, documents proving significant personal achievements or professional or academic excellence in Informatics, Mathematics, Physics, or Life Sciences.
You can find details on the documents in the article “Documents to be uploaded“ of the Conditions for the Admission. We will confirm receipt of the documents by email and, if necessary, ask you to submit any missing ones.
Even though the deadline for completing an application, paying the fee or uploading the documents is 31 March 2023, we strongly encourage you to perform these steps as soon as possible to allow us to process the applications on an ongoing basis.
We organize an admission Informatics test and an interview in English. They will take place remotely or in person if you are in the Czech Republic at this time.
After the application and all documents are submitted, no later than 18 April 2023, you and the admission committee mutually agree upon the exact date and time. The tests and interviews will take place no later than 28 April 2023. You will be notified by email, followed by the preliminary (non-)admission decision by 16 May 2023.
You can find details on the entrance test, topics and rules in the article “Admission Test of Informatics and Interview“ of the Conditions for the Admission. You can prepare for the admission test by taking a sample test or several quizzes in our online preparatory course.
If you have completed or will complete a FIT CTU bachelor study program in Informatics in the 2022/2023 academic year, you will be admitted to study without the admission test and interview.
Documents associated with your previous foreign education must be officially recognized by the Czech Republic (nostrification) or verified through the CTU.
To complete the admission process, you must pay the tuition fee for the first semester of your studies. The tuition fee does not cover accommodation, food, transportation, books, medical insurance, or other personal expenses.
You must pay the fee no later than 16 June 2023. Following receipt, we will send you the scan of the official admission decision in Czech and the information in English. We will send you the originals of them by post.
You can pay the fee either by card (recommended) or bank transfer.
After being accepted for studies in the Czech Republic, you must apply to the Czech Embassy in your country for a visa if needed. Students arriving for a period longer than 90 days apply for a long-term residence permit for study purposes. The whole procedure for obtaining a visa for study purposes can take 60–90 days, so we recommend applying for the visa well in advance. For further information, please get in touch with the Czech Embassy.
Students have to arrange valid International Health Insurance covering the territory of the Czech Republic. This insurance must be presented before the visa is affixed to the passport. CTU recommends these companies (all provide the online application):
You can book accommodation at the CTU dormitory online and get a contract with confirmation of guaranteed accommodation. If you need help with your registration, you can contact the Accommodation Department at ubytovani@suz.cvut.cz. The provisional date for starting accommodation is from 4 September 2023.
You must enrol in the study within 30 June – 18 September 2023. The exact details will be specified in your admission letter.
The classes start on 25 September 2023.
