• Master’s studies are accredited as two-year studies following previous successfully completed Bachelor’s studies in the same degree programme. Where the applicant’s application does not clearly indicate that the requirement of the same degree programme is met, on written request of the examination committee for the given degree programme, the Dean may nevertheless permit participation in the admission procedure for the Master’s degree programme if the relevant link of the completed Bachelor’s degree programme consists, in particular, in identity or similarity of the contents of the given programme. See also Dean’s Decree No. 17/2020, Article 1. Admission to the Master’s programme is conditional upon successful completion of the entrance examination in English and meeting the requirements of the admission procedure.
• If the department requires additional materials for the admission procedure, e.g. video recordings, scores, recordings, electronic records, links to online storage, or CD/DVD media (in addition to the application form and mandatory attachments, see annex to the Decree), the applicant is obliged to send these materials directly to the relevant department (or to the department’s e-mail address). Failure to submit the required materials by the deadline coinciding with the application deadline will be considered as failure to meet the conditions of the admission procedure, which will be terminated accordingly.
• All conditions for meeting the given criteria and the minimum and maximum scores for admission to individual programmes or specialisations are published at https://www.hamu.cz/en/studies/admission-procedures/.

 

Art. 5 Alternative Dates of Entrance Examinations

There is no alternative date for the admission procedure.
