Masaryk
- Not published yet. Last year (2026): The online application was open from 2 January to 31 July 2026. It closed about two weeks before each exam. Non-EU applicants sat exams from January to April, and in some cases May, because a visa takes time. June and July exams were for EU applicants only.
Charles, First Faculty
- Not published yet. Last year (2026): Written tests ran from 30 May to 4 September, in Hong Kong, Istanbul, Toronto, Prague, London, Tel Aviv, Berlin, Athens and Palma de Mallorca. The faculty itself ran the Prague test on 8 June. Agencies ran the others. The faculty said dates may change, so confirm with your representative.
Palacký
- Not published yet. Last year (2026): Applications opened on 1 November 2025 and closed on 31 July 2026. Exam sessions ran from January to August 2026. You had to apply two weeks before your exam date.
Before you book any date
- Check each school's application deadline against your exam date.
- Non-EU students: the visa takes about 3 months, so apply as soon as you get your admission papers.
- Check each school's page again before you book or pay: dates can change.
Every school fact on this sheet comes from the faculty's own pages and documents. The source for each one is on our Masaryk, Charles and Palacký pages.
