Conditions of admission

Basic admission requirement

The basic condition for admission to a second cycle study programme is the acquisition of a first cycle university degree (Higher Education Act). In the case of a foreign applicant or a student who has completed his/her studies abroad, the student shall submit a decision on the recognition of the proof of completion of the first cycle of higher education by the relevant institution in the Slovak Republic or apply to UNIZA for the recognition of the proof of education with the application form for higher education studies, no later than on the date of enrolment in the studies. To study at the Institute in the Slovak language, written and oral proficiency in Slovak or Czech is required.

Other admission requirements

Applicants will undergo an oral interview, the subject of which is a discussion of the books/articles they have read. Candidates will take an entrance examination (oral interview) to verify their eligibility for the second cycle of studies and to test their knowledge of the field of study and the programme of study. The admission interview mark is set and announced by the admissions board, with a maximum score of 10. A minimum of 5 points is considered as passing the interview. The oral interview consists of a discussion of selected publications or articles, which the applicants choose from a list published in advance on the Institute's website: https://umkd.uniza.sk/?page_id=499. It is necessary to choose three books, articles, read them (the applicant does not have to read the whole book, only the chapters that interest him/her) and be able to discuss them informally. In the event of a tie, the order of the candidates concerned will be determined as a split. The results of the admission examination shall be contained in the minutes of the admission examination, accompanied by a certificate of the admission examination, drawn up by the chairman of the admissions board appointed by the Rector and signed by all its members. These documents are archived at the Education Department of UNIZA.
