Conditions for the Admission Study Contract

Choice of specialization

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.

Overview of specializations

Application

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.

Admission fee

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.

Confirmation

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.

Recommendation

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.

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.
