## How to apply

Admission is based on your diploma (with recognition) and language. Entrance interviews are possible.

Admission to ŠKODA AUTO University (ŠAVŠ) takes six months or more; here are the key stages:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — management, logistics and industry — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. For free programs, yes. Many students first take a year-long Czech course. English-taught programs require IELTS/TOEFL.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for the Czech Republic is arranged. We handle this stage end to end. Note: the Czech Republic currently issues virtually no student visas to Russian citizens — the route works for passports of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and other CIS countries.

After 11 years of school. Yes, but with nostrification: your school certificate must be recognized in the Czech Republic, sometimes with additional subject exams. For free Czech-taught study, a language year up to B2 level is usually added.

## Documents for admission
