How to apply
Applying to study with us is easy. Everything is done online. You do not need any prior specific knowledge to apply for the study program, just being ready and excited to learn about politics, media and communication. Nevertheless, there is a couple of things we need from you.
1. E-application
Students can only apply to the programme when the applications are open*. Applications are open twice a year:
- Spring semester 2025 applications open from 1 July 2024 until 31 October 2024.
- Autumn semester 2025 applications open from 1 November 2024 until 15 May 2025.
* For students from countries that require visa to study in the Czech Republic, we recommend applying at least one month earlier to give more time for the visa process, however we will accept applications from all students up to the deadlines listed. For students from non-OECD countries, please note that the visa process may take longer than expected.
To apply, go to the E-application – here you also find all details about the degree program and its admission requirements with the full list of recommended literature for the entrance exam, if applicable.
A complete application means: submit the e-application, cover the application fee of CZK 800 (via bank card or bank transfer), and send all required documents for evaluation.
You can submit the following documents: via the e-application form (see 6 slots called Appendix 1 etc.). be scanned into one PDF document).
