Faculty should report the results of acceptance tests within 15 days . Applicant has the right to inspect all materials upon which the decision was made , and in case of disagreement, request a review within 30 days .

Estimates in the certificate of completion of secondary school is usually when entering play no role. However, do not exclude the situation where they can play their part in the struggle for the last places in the list between the rivals , having obtained the same score in the entrance tests.

Breadth and depth of education in universities can also vary - depending on the goals and inclinations . Three - four-year training program, culminating in state examinations and protection work will bring the title BSc ( Sun ) . Four - six-year program ( for bachelors - two - three year old ) , also culminating in state examinations and defense of a thesis , give the title Master (Mgr), (MUDr) ( medicine ) or engineer (Ing). Both of these programs provide the same level of education and academic qualifications do not lead . Another three years , followed by doctoral state examination and defense of a thesis student will crown the title of doctor (PhD). With continuous training for all three programs to achieve the highest title will require seven to nine years of work.

As elsewhere, the higher level of education - for those who want to immerse oneself in science , engage in basic research in their field, publish writings , pictures replenish professors. By the way, the titles in the Czech Republic - this is very serious ! Every lawyer, every doctor indicates doors and receiving business cards on their level of education. It is logical. The client or patient should know whose services he uses. Not so easy to learn to discern nuances in titles . (PhDr), for example, means " Doctor of Philosophy " and indicates that the media title finished a Masters course in humanitarian , educational or social- scientific field, but did not finish a doctorate , otherwise he would wear the title of " doctor" , denoted (PhD) .

Higher education in the Czech Republic in the Czech language is for both Czech and foreign citizens completely free.
