Detailed Information

Procedure
You can only apply for admission to the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in electronic form through the Student Information System (SIS): https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/prijimacky/index.php?do=detail_obor&id_obor=33384 The website is available in Czech and English. To submit an application, you need to log in using one of the following methods: If you are a current student of any faculty at Charles University, use your student login. Your personal number, indicated on your student ID card (under the photo), serves as an equivalent to the login. If you have issues with the password, visit the Central Authentication Service (CAS) page to obtain a new password: https://ldapuser.cuni.cz/index.php If you have previously applied for admission to any faculty at Charles University and were not admitted, use the same email and password as when submitting your previous application. If you are a new applicant, have never studied at any faculty at Charles University, and have never applied for admission (including unsuccessful attempts), you will be prompted to register before submitting your application. Registration is done by entering your email address. We do not recommend using your university or work email address, as you may lose access to it after leaving school or employment! An email will be sent to the specified email address with an active link, clicking on which will take you to a page where you will need to set a password. This email address and password must be used throughout the entire admission process, as only under this login will you see all your applications, exam invitations, and results. If you have already filled out an application and logged into the system again, you will find your name in the upper right corner of the form. Clicking on the "Moje přihlášky" (My applications) button will display an overview of the applications you have submitted. Please do not submit a new application from a different email address, as this complicates identification not only for the system but also for the admissions department staff. If you cannot log in to the existing application account, contact the admissions office at prijimacky@ff.cuni.cz. After successfully passing the entrance exams, the applicant will receive detailed information in English via email about the conditions and dates of enrolment.

Scholarships
We believe that tuition fees should not be a barrier for strong and motivated candidates. To ensure that all students have the opportunity to enroll in the program, we offer scholarships to 15 applicants who demonstrate high entrance exam scores and financial need. These scholarships will cover the cost of the program for the first semester or two, helping to make our academic offerings accessible to a diverse group of talented students. Scholarship Types Based on Academic Performance: Standard Scholarship — 500 USD per month / 3,000 USD per semester Enhanced Scholarship — 1,000 USD per month / 6,000 USD per semester If a student successfully passes the winter session exams, the scholarship is extended to the second semester. The enhanced scholarship for the first two semesters totals 12,000 USD, which is sufficient to cover the tuition fees for both years of the program. Students are responsible for covering their living expenses in Prague from their own funds. Please note that scholarships are not provided during the third and fourth semesters.
