  • Fill out your personal data, enclose all necessary documents, choose your Study Programme and apply!

  • Documents you need to submit through the e-application:
    1. Scanned copy of your secondary school leaving diploma and all of the yearly transcripts from your secondary school.
    2. During the application process you will also be asked to provide us with certified copies of your diploma (so consider sending us certified copies already at this step).

  • Pay the application fee 800 CZK (approx. 32 EUR, by credit card or online transaction via Flywire) otherwise your application will not be processed.

  • Apply for the recognition of your previous study (secondary education/tertiary education) – choose between these two options:
    1. Nostrification (general recognition of your education acknowledged by all universities in the Czech Republic) – relatively long procedure organised either by a regional authority or authorised university, costs 3 000 CZK (approx. 120 EUR);
    2. Simple recognition - processed directly by our Rectorate for the purpose of application procedure at our University only, costs around 1 000 CZK (approx. 40 EUR).

  • If you do not have any of the recognitions issued, you need to apply for one of them – if you are not applying for other universities in the Czech Republic, we advise to consider the “simple recognition”. Follow this link for more information.

  • We strongly recommend applying for the recognition of your previous study immediately after receiving your school-leaving certificate/diploma. If you already have your certificate/diploma issued, start the process immediately.

  • Once we recognise your previous study you will be invited to an interview during which you will be asked about your motivation to study at the University of Ostrava and Mathematics as your specialization.

  • Passed the interview successfully? Congratulations! You will receive a Letter of offer for studies. The next step is to pay for the deposit in the amount of 25 000 CZK (1 000 EURO) by 30th of June of the respective year.

  • Once you pay for the deposit we will prepare the documents which will be necessary for the process of obtaining your visa.

  • Visa process for non-EU citizens might take up to 2 months. Immediately after receiving your visa you can schedule your arrival to Ostrava.
