General information
Thanks to the Institutional Accreditation granted in 2018 by the National Accreditation Bureau for Higher Education, the Prague University of Economics and Business, can assess its applicants’ previous education received abroad on its own. The assessments are administered by the University Legal Department. Therefore, they do NOT have to go through the traditional process of nostrification carried out by the Czech state authorities, which in most cases includes passing a nostrification exam.
Should the Prague University of Economics and Business express doubts about sufficient level, scope, or content of a previous foreign education of an applicant, the applicant will be asked to present the nostrification clause. For more information on gaining nostrification clause, please, follow the link.

Applicants, who received their secondary education abroad and do not have the nostrification clause (i.e. recognition of a previous education issued by the Czech state authorities), have to ask the University for recognition of their foreign secondary education by submitting an official electronic request via a designated website.
