Bachelor of International Business (IBB)

About the course

A three-year, full-time English-taught bachelor’s degree covering the theory and practice of doing business at a global scale. Students can take a double degree with the University of Vaasa (Finland) or OTH Regensburg (Germany). Graduates receive the Czech Bakalář (Bc.) degree and a Diploma Supplement.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• No Czech rule gives the Leaving Certificate automatic entry, and VŠE publishes no Leaving Cert subject or grade table. VŠE assesses your foreign school-leaving certificate itself, with no extra fee for English-taught programmes. You send an officially certified copy of the Leaving Cert, a certificate from the relevant Irish body confirming it lets you apply for a bachelor’s degree in Ireland, and an official translation into English or Czech if needed. VŠE’s page does not mention an apostille, so ask admissions (edu@vse.cz) what form of certification they accept for Irish documents.
• VŠE says entrance exam requirements differ by programme and are listed on each programme’s website. The IBB exam format, any maths level and minimum score were not confirmed, so check the IBB website before applying.
• VŠE’s general admissions pages do not state an English test requirement for IBB. Ask the programme (ibb@vse.cz) whether Leaving Cert English is accepted as proof of English.

Costs

• VŠE’s admissions page lists tuition for English-taught bachelor’s degrees as €6,000 per academic year (€3,000 per semester). A footnote says the lower €5,000 rate applies only to students admitted before 2027/28, so €6,000 is the rate for 2027 entrants. There is no separate EU rate. The application fee is €100 and is non-refundable. VŠE charges no extra fee to assess a foreign school-leaving certificate for English-taught programmes.
