General information on the admission exam

The ranking of candidates will be based on the following rules:
1. Motivational interview with the applicant (50% of the total score), high school performance (50% of the total score).
2. In the case of talent exams, the assessment is calculated as follows:
30% for the results at high school, 30% for the motivational interview and 40% for the talent exam.
The average of the grades of the subjects of the graduation exam is calculated for the study candidate. This value is multiplied by the coefficient of the secondary school from which the applicant has graduated:
coefficient 1 for grammar school,
coefficient 2 for vocational secondary school,
coefficient 3 for vocational secondary school with matriculation.
The resulting value determines the applicant's position in the order of success in the admissions procedure.
If a greater number of applicants meet the admission requirements for a given study programme, those applicants who have demonstrated the highest level of aptitude for the study according to the admission requirements will be admitted.
