• have studied in English at the university level for at least one year;

When a score from an English-language test is not presented, the applicants should provide a certificate of their use of English during their prior studies or employment to support their claim. The certificate should contain contact information (an email address and a telephone number) to a person (a programme director, or an employee supervisor) who can confirm the scope of the use of the English language in the program or employment.

All documents which are not originally in Czech, Slovak or English, must be officially translated into English. Only complete applications will be considered. Personal data will be used exclusively for organising the course enrollments.

Assessment:

The admissions committee will assess applicants on the basis of the documents submitted and give them a ranking from 0 - 100 points. The following criteria will be evaluated: academic background (achieved level of education, academic results) (0-40), motivation (0-40), and extracurricular activities (0-20). The point limit for accepting applicants is set by the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University.
