IMPORTANT - Conditional Admission and Enrolment
Applicants who completed their previous education in 2026 or earlier are required to submit all relevant educational documents, including official recognition of foreign qualifications (nostrification), where applicable, no later than the official application deadline. Applications that do not meet these requirements may be considered incomplete.
Applicants who are expected to complete their studies in 2027 may be admitted conditionally if they have not yet obtained their final educational documents or the required recognition of their qualifications. However, conditional admission does not guarantee enrolment. All outstanding educational documents, including the required recognition of foreign education, must be submitted no later than the official enrolment deadline. Failure to fulfil this requirement will result in the loss of the right to enrol in the programme.
We strongly recommend starting the recognition process as early as possible. The procedure may take approximately 2–3 months, or longer during the summer, depending on the responsible authority and individual circumstances. Applicants should therefore begin the process well in advance and should not wait until they receive their entrance examination results.
