It is essential to follow the instructions below and strictly observe the set deadlines. Any problems or concerns should be discussed with the Department of International Relations via incoming@vscht.cz.

Nomination by Home Institution

Your home institution is responsible for the selection and official nomination procedures and will provide you with detailed information regarding Double Degree (DD) programme opportunities. You cannot apply for the DD programme at UCT Prague without this nomination.

📋 Official nomination includes your:
  • Full Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Email Address
  • Intended Period of Stay

Your home university must contact the Department of International Relations at UCT Prague (incoming@vscht.cz) and send the nomination directly. UCT Prague, as the host university, confirms student admission for studies according to its selection criteria.

📅 Nomination Deadlines:

The nomination process is officially open from 1 April until 31 May.
Note: For Double Degree nominations, we can be more flexible and are able to receive nominations earlier than the official opening date.

Acceptance from UCT Prague

Each candidate will be reviewed by the guarantor of the DD program. Upon the guarantor's approval, we will move forward with the application process. The student will receive an official Letter of Acceptance from the IRO department via email.

Application Procedure & Deadlines

After your nomination, you will receive an informative email explaining how to start the Application Procedure for Double Degree (DD). UCT Prague no longer accepts original paper forms; scans and electronically signed copies are sufficient.

📅 Admissions window: 1 April – 15 June

All completed and scanned materials must be sent to incoming@vscht.cz.
Tip: Send ONE email with all documents attached to speed up the review.

⚠️ Important: We highly recommend starting as soon as possible. Non-EU students must ensure they have enough time for both the application and the subsequent visa process.

Exception: Students studying only courses from the School of Business are exempt from this obligation.

5) Transcript of Records (in English)

This is of utmost importance as it serves as comprehensive documentation of your academic achievements. We need to check all completed semesters, including grades and the summer semester.

💡 Waiting for results? If you don't have the final TOR yet, inform us and we can arrange a later submission.

6) Copy of Bachelor's Diploma

The Dean's office requires a copy of your Bachelor's Diploma to process your Double Degree exchange application officially.

7) Motivational Letter & CV

Providing a CV and a Cover Letter is highly important. They showcase your skills, experiences, and motivations, helping UCT Prague assess your suitability for the specific exchange program.

8) Scan of Passport / ID

Required to officially confirm your personal data.

Non-EU Students: If you are currently studying in Europe, it is essential to send a scan of your residence card as well.

🎓 Important Certification Note:
Learning Agreement, Confirmation of Language Knowledge, and Transcript of Records must be officially confirmed by the respective representatives of your home institution.
