Verification and Nostrofication of previous studies. 

• In order to be enrolled in a full degree accredited programme in the Czech Republic you must have your previous studies recognized (if you studied outside the Czech Republic). This is the case for students entering BA, MA, and PhD programmes, however the process is slightly different for BA programmes. Students should follow the detailed instructions for their country here. 
• Students will be required to bring original documentation with them to Brno and hand it into Klára Němečková. It is the students responsibility to make sure they have all the correct paperwork. This step is required to be officially enrolled in the unviersity!
