Pre-enrolment confirmation
After being admitted, it is necessary to confirm your intention to study. This step is to be carried via the university information system (InSIS) by your faculty’s deadline.
This confirmation is only preliminary and serves not as a regular enrolment in the study programme. However, if not granted by the deadline, the applicant will be considered as not interested in studying at VŠE and will be removed from the list of applicants.
Please follow this picture guide to proceed this confirmation.
Evaluation of Previous Studies
As part of the admissions procedure, applicants for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at the VŠE may have their foreign education assessed for the purposes of the admissions procedure at the VŠE. The VŠE can assess the previous education of its applicants, which is made possible by the Institutional Accreditation it received from the National Accreditation Office in 2018. This means a significant simplification for applicants to the VŠE. Previously, the required proof of general recognition of foreign education in the Czech Republic (called nostrification) is only required if the VŠE expresses doubts about the sufficient level, extent or content of the applicant’s previous foreign education evidenced by a foreign document and invites the applicant to prove his/her education by submitting a nostrification.
The Education Assessment Agenda is administered by the Legal Department, and from 1st December 2024, it is fully integrated into the application for studies in the Integrated Study and Information System of the University of Economics (InSIS).
All information about the recognition process can be found here.
*For more information contact the VŠE Legal Department at edu@vse.cz.
If you have not earned your Bachelor/Master degree in Economics or similar field, the nostrification of your diploma should be done at other Czech universities
In case the Legal Department of the Prague University of Economics and Business receives the documents that cannot be recognized, the applicant will receive an email that will inform him that his documents will be sent to another – respective university or the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (information about Recognition here).
