    Applications open for September 2027 entry
    Details

    "The application will be open on 1 November, 2026." One of the very few Czech pages that names the 2027/28 cycle explicitly, and it is maintained - stamped last updated 14 August 2026.

  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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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 three years are split into thirds: international relations, diplomacy and law; economics and quantitative methods; and your own choice of electives and languages. Teaching is in English, discussion-based and centred on current global affairs. A semester abroad and internships are part of the programme, and a bachelor thesis is completed at the end of the fourth semester before a state exam in the sixth. Graduates aim at international organisations, diplomacy and the foreign service, or continue to the master's in diplomacy or international economics.

What you need

  • Grades do not count: one online interview on international affairs, your motivation and your English decides.
