About the course

Entry requirements for Irish students

• The faculty needs only completed secondary education and sets no specific subjects or grades. There is no national rule for the Leaving Certificate. Tomas Bata University assesses foreign school-leaving certificates itself, for a fee of CZK 990 (EUR 39), and the result counts only at this university. Your documents must be verified as required for the country that issued them, which usually means an apostille for Irish documents. Ask admissions@utb.cz exactly what they need for the Leaving Cert.
• As part of the admissions process you must submit an essay in English of about 2,500 to 3,000 words, on a topic chosen from the faculty’s list. The full admission conditions are set out in the Dean’s Directive linked from the e-application.
• English at B2 level is required. The university accepts a letter from your previous school confirming you were taught through English instead of a certificate. An Irish secondary school can usually provide this, but confirm it with admissions.
