Admissions

We welcome highly motivated applicants with a consistently strong past academic track record. The admissions committee will assess the applications on the basis of submitted documents and award points (1-100) in the following categories: academic background, motivation, extra-curricular activities. The point limit for accepting applicants is set by the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University.

A pre-condition for being accepted is the completion of higher education studies.

The following documents must be provided:

  • online application,
  • copy of the previous diploma,
  • transcript of marks from previous studies,
  • curriculum vitae,
  • motivation letter,
  • two letters of recommendation (at least one academic)

Application submission deadlines extended

You can apply to BECES until 31 August 2025. 

Applications fully submitted by 30 June 2025 will already be evaluated in July. 

Important note for visa-seeking students: Please read about the visa process carefully before applying. You are responsible for organizing your legal stay in Czechia, and the visa application process can be quite lengthy. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to obtain the visa in time, as the June and August deadlines are fairly close to the start of the academic year on 29 September 2025. Therefore, the extended deadlines are strongly recommended for students who already possess the legal right to long-term stay in Czechia.
