⚠️ Still completing IB, EB, or GCE A-Levels?
Predicted grades do not meet the academic competence requirement.
❗ Your final qualification must be available by the application deadline if you wish to use it to meet the academic competence requirement.
❗ Unless you already hold another recognised qualification, you must also complete an additional academic competence test (e.g. Scio GAP).

4. Personal Motivation Video
Record a short video (maximum 2 minutes) telling us why you want to study this programme at ECON MUNI. Most applicants come directly from high school. We are interested in your motivation and potential, not an impressive CV.
In your video, briefly share:
- Why you’re interested in the programme
- What motivates you
- Any strengths, experiences, or projects that show your potential
- How this programme fits your future plans
Important:
- The video must be your own work: no AI-generated scripts, AI avatars, or synthetic voices.
- Avoid repeating information from our website or generic praise of the university. We want to understand your motivation.
- One submission only: please check your video before uploading.
- If you don’t submit a video, we may invite you to a short online interview instead.
- If you're applying directly from high school, that's completely fine, as most people are! Focus on your genuine interest and potential. Be honest, be yourself.
(Upload instructions will appear in your e-application.)
5. Online Interview (if invited)
Most applicants will not need an interview. However, if we require additional clarification about your application or motivation, you may be invited to a short online interview.
What to expect
If invited, you may be asked to:
- Talk more about your motivation for the programme
- Reflect on your submitted materials (e.g., your motivation video)
- Demonstrate your communication and English language skills
Important
- Interviews are by invitation only, based on your application.
- If you are invited, attendance is mandatory. Not attending may result in your application being rejected.
- Not being invited to an interview does not mean you were rejected; most applicants will receive a decision without an interview.
- All invitations and updates will be sent by email, so please check your inbox regularly (including your spam/junk folder).
We appreciate your interest in ECON MUNI and, if invited, look forward to speaking with you.
