Nostrification
The training programs in the Czech Republic and the CIS countries differ. Naturally, teaching at Masarikov University is based on the knowledge gained in Czech schools, so you will have to confirm that your knowledge is no worse, and maybe better, than that of the Czechs.
This factor also applies to diploma holders who want to enroll in a master's or doctoral program. Nostrification takes from 20 to 40 days, respectively, it is better to prepare for it in advance so as not to miss the school year.
A nostrified certificate/diploma is not the only documents that must be submitted for admission. Also, prepare a medical certificate and insurance in a timely manner, a long-term visa (for countries where visa-free is not provided), a certificate of solvency (a bank statement is enough).
Since Masarykov University is one of the most popular in the Czech Republic, the selection of certificates for the competition does not take place here. All applicants take entrance exams defined for each faculty. Admission conditions are not "draconian", but they differ from the usual ones in the CIS, since preference is given to testing rather than written and oral work.
Special narrowly focused examination tickets are being developed for the sports, social and medical faculties of Masaryk University, the rest of the applicants pass the TSP (test for prerequisites for training).
The purpose of testing is to identify people who will not "pull" a rather complex and voluminous program or will not be able to adapt to unusual learning conditions. To do this, the "questionnaire" includes sections covering diverse areas. Thus, the level of knowledge of various subjects is unobtrusively checked and at the same time an approximate "psychological portrait" of the applicant is compiled.
Are you not afraid to think and are ready to study in order to guarantee yourself a good job with a decent salary? Masarykov University in Brno is waiting for your application, receiving documents annually, from January to the end of March.
