International Relations (MAIN)

A copy of a diploma to show at least completed Bachelor’s studies or confirmation that ongoing Bachelor’s studies will be completed in the current academic year. Confirmation of studies may be substituted with a transcript of records, provided that these are from the same academic year as the application.

Don’t have your diploma yet?

Submit a confirmation from your school detailing your current studies, expected graduation date and anticipated results. You will have the option to submit your actual diploma later during the registration for the first year in September. Download our standard form for guidelines – your school can use it as a template.

Nostrification

If you already have a Certificate of General recognition of the foreign diploma in Czechia (“nostrification document”), you can submit it instead of the actual diploma. Otherwise, the nostrification process will be done by the International Office during your enrollment meeting, in case you are accepted. For the application process, we only need scans of your documents and you do not need to mail us your documents yet.

See more information on the recognition of previous degree education.

Do you have multiple degrees?

The application form itself only allows you to fill in one degree – please choose the one that is a level below your desired education. Then add all your degrees and transcripts to the attachments – you can upload multiple documents in each category. Don’t forget to also mention all your degrees in the CV!

The transcripts from all years of the previous university study should be submitted.

Transcript of records from previous studies is a document describing the content and scope of your completed education including grades (it can be a diploma supplement, final exam grades, predicted grades, or similar).

Transcripts from unfinished studies (e.g.: You have studied 2 semesters of a Master’s study, but haven’t finished) can be included as well to show the full scope of your experience. We recommend adding those as well; they can definitely strengthen your application!

Structured CV should include your previous work experience, extracurricular activities, internships, volunteering, awards or other relevant achievements and skills, if applicable.

There is no specific template or length required, but the document must be in English.

 The recommended range of the motivation letter is between 500 and 600 words. The motivation letter should address your interest in both the field and the programme. You are invited to share any background, interest, experience or talent that is relevant for your motivation for the field of International Relations and for studying the MAIN program.

A standardized English test is not required if you:

When a score from an English-language test is not presented, you should provide a confirmation of your use of English during your prior studies to support your claim. The confirmation should contain the information that the study program was conducted in English as a language of study. A diploma supplement or transcript containing this information can also be accepted.
