Applications for the academic year 2027/28 are open from 1 September 2026 to 31 May 2027 through the BUT e-application. Studies start in September. There is one intake per year; we do not offer a February (spring) intake.

Yes. Submit your application now and upload the certificate as soon as you receive it. The deadline for uploading documents is 31 May 2027. Remember that the document must be translated into English or Czech and legalised before you upload it, and that the visa procedure takes months, so act quickly to be ready for enrolment in September.

No. Upload scanned copies of your verified and translated documents to the e-application, merged into one PDF document; that is sufficient for the admission procedure. You will bring the paper originals to enrolment in September, where they stay on file with the Faculty. Please do not courier documents to us.

No. Studies are not restricted by age.

No. Every applicant applies to the first year and goes through the standard admission procedure. After you enrol, you can ask for recognition of courses you have already completed. You will need an official transcript and detailed course syllabi (content, hours, credits); recognition is decided individually by our academic staff and is not guaranteed.

You can start the following academic year. Because the tuition fee is paid only after admission (the first 50 % before enrolment), you have not paid anything in advance. Once applications open again, submit a new application and pay the application fee; the recognition of prior education does not have to be repeated and we can admit you straight away. Application fees are not transferred between years.

The full list of accepted certificates and minimum scores is published as Annex 1 on the How to Apply page.

Only if you completed your studies entirely in Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, the United States or the United Kingdom can you skip the certificate. For any other country, a B2 certificate from the accepted list is required even if your programme was taught in English. A letter from your university is not sufficient.

No. We do not offer an internal English exam; you must provide an external certificate from the accepted list.

No. The Faculty does not run any preparatory language courses, in English or in Czech. You need to meet the B2 English requirement with a certificate before you apply.

Before. Upload your diploma and transcript with all stamps already completed (apostille or superlegalisation depending on your country, as described in Annex 2), together with an official translation into English or Czech. Documents uploaded without legalisation cannot be assessed.

It is the mandatory assessment confirming that your previous education qualifies you for the programme. You do not arrange it externally. The Faculty carries it out as part of the admission procedure once you have (1) uploaded your fully legalised documents and (2) paid the recognition fee (CZK 750 / EUR 32). The payment details appear in your e-application under “Recognition of prior education” after the application fee has been paid.

The application fee (CZK 700 / EUR 30) and the recognition fee (CZK 750 / EUR 32) are two separate payments. Both are required before your documents can be assessed.

The master’s programme is intended for graduates of civil engineering or a closely related field. Other backgrounds are considered case by case during document screening, and the admission interview tests your knowledge of civil engineering fundamentals. There are no bridging courses: if you are admitted, you should be confident in structural mechanics, strength of materials, reinforced concrete design and building design, otherwise your studies will be very demanding.

There is no written exam. Applicants who pass the document screening are invited to a 15-minute online interview in English via Microsoft Teams.

The decision is issued within 30 days after all conditions have been met, including the interview. Uploading complete and properly legalised documents is the best way to speed the process up.

The embassy always requires the paper original of the decision. To book your embassy appointment a scanned copy is sometimes enough (check this with your embassy), but when you attend the appointment you must have the originals with you.

There are no scholarships or tuition discounts at admission. After you enrol, two forms of support are available to all students: an accommodation allowance of around EUR 200 per year, and a merit scholarship of up to CZK 3,000 per month, which you can earn from the second year based on your study results.

No. Tuition fees apply to all English-taught programmes and cannot be waived or reduced.

You apply for a long-term student visa at the Czech embassy in your country. The first step is to get an appointment at the embassy. Appointment slots are usually released once a month and can be hard to get, so start as soon as you receive the decision. After the appointment, the decision on your visa should come within about 3 months. The university cannot book embassy appointments, speed up the process or influence the outcome, so contact the embassy directly for the status of your application. Every year some students miss enrolment because of delays, so do not wait.

Yes. BUT halls of residence are available to all international students; you apply online after receiving the decision. A payment in advance secures your place; if your visa is refused, contact the accommodation office about a refund. See Halls of Residence and Dining Services.

Yes. Health insurance is required for the visa and for your stay in the Czech Republic. The embassy will tell you exactly what type of insurance you need, so please follow the instructions on the embassy’s website and in its documents.
