Conditions for admission to the 2nd cycle of studies (Master's degree):

The basic condition for admission to the master's programme is the completion of the first cycle of higher education (bachelor's degree) completed by a state examination (the basic conditions for admission to the study programme of the second cycle pursuant to Section 56(3) of Act No. 131/2002 Coll. on higher education and on amendment and supplementation of certain acts is a first-degree higher education or a second-degree higher education, while the sum of the number of credits obtained for the previous higher education studies, by which the higher education was obtained, and the number of credits required for the proper completion of the second-degree study programme for which the applicant is applying must be at least 300 credits).

Admission to the Master's programme shall take place without an entrance examination, i.e. applicants for the Master's programme shall be admitted in the admission procedure without taking an entrance examination. All applicants who apply to study at FMEO PU are ranked in order of admission to the relevant study programme to which they have applied (the order is always only one for each given study programme). The admission ranking is created according to the weighted average for the whole period of bachelor studies according to the algorithm published on the faculty's website (https://www.unipo.sk/fakulta-manazmentu/informacie/uchadzaci/). Each applicant may be admitted according to his/her rank in the order of admission within the capacity limits of the faculty.

In the case of a graduate who has completed a degree program in a field of study other than Economics & Management (completed in the Slovak Republic) or in the case of graduates of any degree program in a field of study other than Economics & Management (completed abroad outside the Slovak Republic or also in the Slovak Republic), respectively. Such a candidate shall take a difference test from selected subjects of the state examination of the Bachelor's study programme Management, which is implemented at the FMEO PU. The differential test will be held on the dates specified in the introduction of this document, from the following subjects. The outlines will be published on the Faculty's website (https://www.unipo.sk/fakulta-manazmentu/informacie/uchadzaci/). Based on the result of the differential test, each applicant will be given a position in the common order for admission to each given study programme. Specific or non-standard cases will be considered separately by a committee set up for this purpose.

If the applicant has not completed his/her bachelor's studies in the Slovak language and/or does not prove his/her matriculation certificate with a grade in the Slovak language, he/she is obliged to undergo a verification of linguistic competence to study the study programme in the Slovak language.
