Entry requirements for Irish students

• The Leaving Cert does not give automatic entry in the Czech Republic. Your certificate must be formally recognised (nostrification). CTU does this itself for a non-refundable fee of CZK 950. You apply through CTU’s NOS system (nostrifikace.cvut.cz) with notarised copies of your Leaving Cert and statement of results, plus proof of payment. Irish documents will likely need an apostille. Documents in English do not need translating. CTU publishes no list of Leaving Cert subjects or grades.
• Admission is by a remote entrance exam held as an online interview. FEL does not publish the topics or a maths level, so ask FEL admissions whether you need Higher Level Maths.
• You need a certificate showing excellent English: TOEFL iBT 70, IELTS 6 or TOEIC 800. Duolingo is not accepted. FEL’s page lists no exemption for native speakers or for Leaving Cert English, so plan to sit one of these tests unless FEL tells you otherwise in writing. Your spoken English is also assessed in the interview.

Costs

• FEL CTU’s official fees page gives CZK 110,000 a year (CZK 55,000 a semester) for full-time bachelor’s study in English. That is roughly €4,400, but the euro amount moves with the exchange rate. You can pay by bank transfer in Czech koruna, US dollars or euro, and you pay any bank charges. There is no separate EU rate. You also pay an admission fee of CZK 950 (about €39) before you submit your application. CTU’s assessment of your Leaving Cert is a separate fee of CZK 950, and it is not refunded.
