Applicants with a foreign education have several options to demonstrate meeting the conditions by means of:

• a document for general recognition of a foreign higher education in the Czech Republic;
• a foreign document concerning a secondary/higher education completed at foreign institution;
• a document proving granting of the European Baccalaureate;
• a document from foreign secondary/higher education, which is covered by the so-called equivalence agreement concluded with the Czech Republic (Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Slovenia)
