How admission works in Czechia
Admission is decided by each faculty: an entrance exam (often the Scio National Comparative Exams or the faculty's own test), and for some programmes admission based on secondary-school results; there are no published cutoff scores. A foreign secondary-school diploma must be recognised in Czechia (nostrification), except for countries that have a recognition agreement with Czechia. Czech-taught programmes require Czech, usually at B2 level. More in the guide Study in Czechia.
