Acceptance conditions for master study programs

Form of selection

Study admission will take place in the form of a selection procedure. There are no entrance exams.

Conditions

The basic condition for admission to the study of Master study programmes (I. level of university study) is the successful completion of the I. level of the study programme. Fulfilment of the I. level education conditions and eligibility for II. level studies is assessed by the admissions committee on the basis of the structure and content of the completed subjects of the previous study programme. The Faculty reserves the right to decide whether the content of the I. level study programme, which the applicant has completed, corresponds to the requirements for the study of the relevant II. level study programme.

Evaluation criteria

Applicants for Master studies at FME TUKE will be evaluated primarily on the basis of the results of the Bachelor studies – on the basis of the study average, calculated from the following formula,
 

where Z_i  is the percentage gained from the i-th study subject, K_i is the number of credits of the i-th subject, and n  is the number of subjects evaluated by credits and classification level. If the applicant has completed the first level of his/her study with a different evaluation scale than the one established by the Study Regulations of the Technical University of Košice (0% – 100%), the faculty reserves the right to recalculate in accordance to this scale.
