FAQs

Can I submit documents past the application deadline?

No, unfortunately, we do not accept documents submitted after the application deadline.

I studied in English but not in one of the countries listed in exemptions. Do I still need a proof of English language proficiency?

Yes, you will still need to provide proof of English language proficiency if you studied in English but not in one of the countries listed in exemptions.

Are financial aid or scholarships available, and what is the application process for them?

If you wish to be considered for an Applied Health Economics scholarship, please provide a brief essay (approximately 600 words) in your e-application explaining your motivation and rationale, with an emphasis on how your education in applied health economics will contribute to national or international efforts in healthcare. Highlight your achievements, motivations, and any relevant circumstances, such as your future goals and how you plan to use the knowledge you have gained. Motivation based on previous work experience and/or your future career ambitions should be as specific as possible.

International students at Masaryk University can take advantage of a number of scholarship programmes. While ECON MUNI does not provide scholarships to cover your entire tuition fee, as our tuition fees are already subsidized by the Czech government, there are other scholarship opportunities you might be eligible for:
