  3. 31 July 2027

    VSE Prague, Bachelor of International Business - hard copies of secondary-education documents
    Hard deadline
    Details

    The deadline that decides whether an IB candidate can actually take the place up. VSE requires the physical documents by "31st July, 2027", stated twice on its required-documents page. IB results are issued on 6 July 2027, which leaves about three weeks to obtain, certify and post the diploma. One older page on the same site, last updated nine months earlier, says "at the latest by 1st July" - the two disagree; go by the later page, but confirm with the programme office before relying on either.

  2. 1 March to 31 March 2027

    VSE Prague, Bachelor of International Business - admission interview
    Details

    Published only as a month - "Exam Date: March 2027" - with the prose adding that interviews are scheduled "in the beginning of March". No individual day is published, so the whole month is shown. The exam is a single online interview over MS Teams, 50 points for motivation and 50 for English, with a minimum of 25 in each part. The decision follows: the faculty says only that it "is usually made around the mid of March", with no year and no committed day, so that is customary practice rather than a date to plan against.

  4. 30 April 2027

    VSE Prague, Bachelor of International Business - second-round deadline, if a second round is announced
    Details

    From the official Conditions of admission 2027/2028: "Should the second admission round be announced, the application deadline will be April 30th 2027, and the exam will be held in May 2027." The Dean announces it only if the first round does not fill the programme, so it is a real dated fallback that may never open. A second-round application must be submitted separately.

What it is

The programme is built on data science, statistics, econometrics, data analysis and critical thinking, with courses such as economic statistics, probability and mathematical statistics, econometric modelling, real data analysis, and data analysis with R and SQL. Case studies and real-data courses link theory to applied problems. You can spend an optional period abroad in the second or third year, and you write a bachelor thesis and sit state exams. Graduates work as economic data scientists, business analysts, data managers and consultants, or continue to master's programmes in economic data analysis or information systems management.
