Admission procedure

Procedure

The admission process is governed by the current Rector’s Decree and other UCT Prague documents (available below on this page).

Applicants apply for a specific dissertation topic announced by a specific prospective supervisor.
Before submitting an application, the applicant must contact the supervisor listed for the chosen dissertation topic and arrange to confirm the intent to apply for that topic.

UCT Prague and its faculties admit applicants to doctoral study programs who have successfully completed a master’s study program. Students in the final year of their master’s program may also undergo the admission process; however, their admission is conditional on the successful completion of their master’s program.

Another requirement for admission to the doctoral study program is medical fitness for the respective doctoral study program.

In case of foreigners applying for study in DSP provided in the Czech language, the admission board assesses the Czech language skills.
