----

An applicant is admitted if they are awarded a minimum of 50 points in the entrance examination (consisting of one part or two parts) and, at the same time, score enough points to place among the anticipated number of candidates admitted to the respective programme or dual specialisation (refer to the admissions requirements applicable to the individual programmes); admissions will be granted to all applicants who score the same number of points as the applicant who comes in last place in the ranking of admissions. In programmes and dual specialisation studies offered in both the full-time and combined forms, the anticipated number of admitted candidates is set separately for both forms. Applicants applying for programmes and dual specialisation studies where single curriculum study is not possible will only be admitted if they meet the set requirements for a minimum of two programmes or dual specialisation studies which can be freely combined (for more details, see sections 2.2 and 2.5 hereof). The ranking of applicants to be admitted to programmes and dual specialisation studies where single curriculum study is not possible will also include applicants who place in the ranking in one programme or dual specialisation but fail to be admitted to at least one other programme or dual specialisation study which can be combined; therefore, the anticipated number of admitted candidates may remain unfilled. Interfaculty study programmes are only open to applicants who pass the entrance examination and are awarded the same or higher number of points as the last candidate in the ranking of candidates admitted to the respective programme in the regular admissions procedure, passing at the same time the entrance examination to the respective programme at the other of the two partner faculties. Candidates admitted to interfaculty study programmes are not included in the anticipated number of admitted candidates. Applicants admitted cannot be enrolled without submitting evidence of their prior education no later than on the enrolment day (see sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof).

Admission to Master's studies is conditioned by completed secondary education confirmed by a school-leaving certificate. Admission to Post-Bachelor studies (Master's programme) is likewise conditioned by completed education in any type of study programme.

Logic is a theoretical programme which relies on mathematical methods and which can be applied in mathematics, computation and specific fields of philosophy. Logic has also connections to linguistics and law theory. In general, graduates can be employed in all areas which deal with formal and quantitative methods and rely on critical analysis of problems, often in formalized environments (software or legal companies, government or educational institutions). Graduates can continue in a doctoral programme (PhD) in logic.
