Recognition of Foreign Education at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University
(programs taught in English)

The Czech Republic has established bilateral agreements on the mutual recognition of educational qualifications with Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Germany, and Slovakia. These agreements apply only to certificates issued by the educational systems of these countries. You will not be required to pay a verification fee.

To ensure a successful verification process, please follow these guidelines:

1. If you hold a certificate that falls under the bilateral agreement, you must submit a certified or notarized copy of your certificate.
2. If your document is not in Czech, English, or Slovak, you need to provide an official translation.
3. If your document is from Germany, an apostille is also required.
   

Please wait for confirmation from the verification coordinator before sending your documents by post.

If you have any questions, feel free to email verification@phil.muni.cz.

Based on the Directive No. 2/2019, the faculty verifies whether the submitted foreign educational documents entitle the applicant to enrol into the degree programme they were admitted to. Therefore, the verification is valid only for the specific programme you were admitted to within the specific admission round. The verification costs 800 CZK. If you want to be able to enrol at any Czech university or use it for the purpose of employment, we recommend getting recognition (nostrification).

What do you need for the successful verification? 

1. Your high school diploma
2. There might be an apostille or superlegalisation required on your diploma, please check what applies to your country here - you have to refer to the country where your diploma was issued.
3. A confirmation of accreditation of the high school: A confirmation from a competent foreign authority (e.g. the Ministry of Education) that the foreign high school is authorised to provide secondary education in that foreign country.
4. All documents must be submitted in the form of an officially certified or notarized copy with an official translation into Czech or English (including all stamps, notary clauses, interpreter clauses, certifications of the authenticity of signatures, etc.), if they are not originally in Czech, Slovak or English.  
5. After checking the documents by the verification coordinator, you will be informed whether the documents are in the required form. DO NOT SEND YOUR DOCUMENTS VIA POST BEFORE OUR CONFIRMATION. 

Please be aware that the faculty may require a certificate from your previous school or another competent foreign authority. This certificate should confirm that you are entitled to apply for admission to study at the same level as your intended program in the foreign country, based on the diploma you are submitting. This document must be provided as an original or an officially certified copy, along with an official translation into Czech or English. Note that translations are not required for documents issued in Slovak or English.

In certain cases, the faculty may request nostrification instead of standard verification.
