Verification of previous education

Based on the Directive No. 2/2019, the faculty verifies whether the submitted foreign educational documents entitle the applicant to enrol into the degree programme they were admitted to. Therefore, the verification is valid only for the specific programme you were admitted to within the specific admission round. The verification costs 900 CZK (you can pay for it here).

What documents do you need for the verification?

For bachelor study:

1. Invoice of the verification fee payment
2. Scan of your high school diploma (authenticated according to the rules here)
3. A scan of a confirmation of accreditation of the high school:
   • A confirmation from a competent foreign authority (e.g. the Ministry of Education) that the foreign high school is authorised to provide secondary education in that foreign country. This document must be submitted in the form of an original or an officially certified copy with an official translation into Czech or English (translations are not required for documents issued in Slovak or English).

Please note that applicants who attended high schools under the British educational system have to submit at least 3 GCE A-level exams for the verification process.

For master study:

1. Invoice of the verification fee payment,
2. Scan of your BA diploma (verified according to the rules here),
3. Scan of your Diploma Supplement/Transcript of Records.

For PhD study:

2. It is necessary to hand over the originals or officially certified copies of your high school/BA/MA diploma and Diploma Supplement/Transcript of Records on the day of your enrollment. Basic copies cannot be accepted.
3. Please note that the faculty may require a certificate from your previous school or other competent foreign authority stating that the graduate is entitled to apply for admission to study on the same level as they are applying to in that foreign country with the submitted diploma. This document must be submitted in the form of an original or an officially certified copy with an official translation into Czech or English (translations are not required for documents issued in Slovak or English).

How do I deliver the documents to the faculty?

After paying for the verification, please send us scans of the above-mentioned documents in one file to verification@econ.muni.cz.

When do I have to bring the documents in hard copies?

After checking the documents, you will be informed whether the documents are in the required form.

The documents must then be delivered no later than the day of enrolment to the Faculty of Economics and Administration, where the documents will be converted and the verification process completed. The documents will then be returned to you.

If the applicant wishes to utilize any education he/she has attained in the country of origin, it is necessary to have that education recognized by the Czech educational system.  One of the option of the recognition is nostrification. As a result, the applicant will obtain an official certificate, which enables him/her to enroll at any Czech university or which he/she might use for the purpose of employment.

For enrollment in Bachelor degree programs, the applicant will have to apply for the Recognition of Secondary School Education at an regional authority.

If the applicant wishes to enroll in a Master or Doctoral degree programs, he/she should browse this page and read the detailed information: Recognition of Foreign Higher Education and Qualifications.

The nostrification process costs 3000 CZK and, contrary to verification, it is valid without any limitation. It is managed by the Rector’s Office of Masaryk University.

The Czech Republic is bound by bilateral agreements on mutual recognition of educational qualifications with Hungary, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, the Federal Republic of Germany and Slovak Republic. If you are a holder of such document to which the bilateral agreement applies, you just need to submit the original or an officially certified copy of such document (if necessary together with the official translation) to the responisble person at the faculty. There is no fee required.

Graduates who have obtained a foreign education in a European school operating under the Convention defining the Statute of the European Schools will submit the original or an officially certified copy of the European Baccalaureate certificate with an official translation into Czech or English (translations are not required for certificates issued in Slovak or English).
