Admission schedules and deadlines for the academic year 2026/27 can be found on our website in the „Admission schedules” tab.

The application fee should be credited to the University’s bank account before the deadline for applications. Please note that paying the fee is required in order to complete the application. A candidate who did not pay the whole fee will not be considered during the Admission Board meetings.

After you are conditionally accepted, you will get a notification with the tuition fee payment deadline. You can also confirm it in our admission schedule.

The application form can be found in your IRK profile in the „print outs” tab, point 1. All information you entered in previous tabs will be used to generate the application form. Once you download the form, please check if all information is correct and then print it out. The application form has to be signed with your full name in two required places on the last page. The signatures have to be handwritten and legible. Please remember to add dates next to the signatures. The scan of the signed application form has to be uploaded to your IRK profile. If there is any incorrect information, please go back to previous tabs, edit your data, and generate the application form again – it should reflect the changes you made. In case there is any data you cannot edit, please use the 'report technical error’ option to ask for the changes to be made for you.
