FAQ

For applicants

Application

Entrance exam

  • The information on the entrance exam and other requirements
  • To check the results of entrance exams and acceptance to study, go to the online application and fill in your university number (found in Online Application, the section of Personal Information) and your initials (e.g., John Brown = JB).

Study programme

  • Information about the study programme of Physiotherapy is found on the Faculty website, together with the study plan listing all courses offered within the programme.

Degree recognition within the EU

  • Each country has its own legislative procedures for recognizing diplomas in different fields from different universities. As the EU does not have one health professions board, we cannot grant the degree recognition.
  • We recommend that our students check with the intended countries’ health professions to ensure their degree will be recognized. Some countries may also require additional certification.

VISA

  • Prominent students must apply for and obtain their VISA before their arrival to the Czech Republic
  • Detailed information on the process and the documents required are described on the Welcome Office website.

Medical insurance

Transfer of study

  • Students transferring to UP from another university must follow the same procedure as other applicants, i.e. they must submit an application, pay the application fee, and pass the entrance examination.
  • Transferring to a higher year of study is not possible (i.e. from the 2nd year of study at the previous university to the 2nd year of study at Palacký University). The student will be enrolled in the 1st year of study and can apply for the recognition of courses from previous studies (see Course recognition…)

Course recognition from previous studies

  • After enrolment in studies, students can apply for the recognition of courses finished in their previous studies at a university in the Czech Republic or abroad.
  • Students cannot apply for course recognition before enrolment.
  • A course cannot be recognized if the course was passed more than three years from the date of the request for recognition.
