The enclosures required:
Both required enclosures should be lucidly formulated and clearly structured.
Applicants are advised to check the research interests of members of staff when preparing a draft thesis topic and to consult information on MA thesis requirements. We highly recommend consulting outstanding MA theses defended at the department (freely available in the Charles University Digital Repository), as well as sample thesis proposals: sample 1, sample 2, sample 3.
Apart from the above-mentioned documents, the applicant has to submit an official transcript supplemented by descriptions of all courses studied at BA level, or a certified SIS transcript (issued by the CUFA registry office). This transcript serves merely for the information of the committee and is not evaluated.
The enclosures must be uploaded as attachments to the application form no later than 30 April 2024. Please see the upload instructions.
Candidates who score a total of 50 points and more (see above) are considered for admission.
The amount of points you scored will be posted in the Student Information System 28 June 2024. An official notification of admission will be uploaded into the Student Information System by the end of July.
Applicants who are accepted must enrol before the end of September at a date given in the official notification of acceptance to secure their place. Applicants who will have not passed a BA exam by the time of the entrance examination are going to be – provided they have passed the entrance examination – accepted in the MA programme on a conditional basis. Any such students need to defend their BA thesis and pass their BA exam by the end of September at the latest. Applicants from abroad must also submit copies of their BA degrees certified by Charles University by this date. For instructions, see the download menu.
