Several Czech universities are extending a lifeline to prospective students by accepting applications for bachelor’s degree programs through the end of August, with some deadlines stretching into mid-September. Thousands of students take advantage of this opportunity annually, according to university representatives who spoke with Czech Television. This year’s offerings include diverse fields such as archaeology, materials engineering, and floral design.
The second round of admissions particularly benefits students who didn’t pass their graduation exams during the regular term.At the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, the Faculty of Philosophy is accepting applications for programs including Archaeology, Social Work, History, and International Relations until the end of August. According to university spokesperson
Kateřina Dobrovolná, last year saw 1,448 applicants during the second round, with 1,231 of those applying for bachelor’s programs.Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín has two faculties still accepting students. The Faculty of Applied Informatics is taking applications for programs like Software Engineering until the end of August, while the Faculty of Technology offers programs such as Gastronomy and Nutrition or Engineering and Production Technology, with applications accepted until September 11.
Last year, these two faculties received 864 applications during the second round, and the university expects similar interest this year.
Major institutions in Prague, Brno, and Ostrava are also participating. Charles University in Prague is offering three foreign-language bachelor’s programs at its Faculty of Social Sciences, with applications being accepted until August 31. These programs focus on social sciences, politics and economics, or history.
Most applicants submit their applications during the regular period, with only about ten percent arriving during summer months. These foreign-language programs primarily attract international students, with Czech students making up just a small percentage—mostly children of foreigners living in the Czech Republic.
The Technical University of Ostrava has two faculties offering second-round admissions: the Faculty of Mining and Geology (accepting applications until September 19) and the Faculty of Materials and Technologies (until the end of August). In Brno, Mendel University’s Faculty of Horticulture is accepting applications for both bachelor’s and master’s programs until the end of August, including programs in Floral Design and Circular Horti-production.
