6. Gaining the minimum number of points in the entrance examination pursuant to par. 4 (condition for the entrance examination waiver are specified in par. 8).
7. Gaining the minimum total recalculated number of points in the admission procedure pursuant to par. 5.

The applicants who have complied with the conditions above will be admitted to study in the order of their total recalculated number of points gained in the admission procedure, maximally in numbers filling individual study programmes specified in par. 6 to capacity.

2. The entrance examination to the study programme of Architecture and Building Engineering consists of two parts:

• written part - test in mathematics, maximum possible number of gained points: 20
  
• oral part - interview in architecture, maximum possible number of gained points: 20

The test in mathematics covers secondary school subject matter as specified in the Dean´s Directive.
In the oral part of the entrance examination, the applicants will submit 4 works:

• 1 motivation sheet to manifest the applicant´s interest in the study programme (it may e.g. be a short passage entitled "Why have I chosen the programme Architecture and Building Engineering?", a collage from photographs of favourite structures or interesting architectural details etc.) - the content and form of the motivation sheet are unlimited, but the sheet will become the basic background material for an interview during the oral part of the admission procedure;
• 3 own graphical works on free topics (e.g. drawing, graphics, collage, art photograph or others - practically any piece of graphics may be submitted, including perspectives or visualizations developed for school projects or similar outputs from computer programmes).

The applicant may also bring an unlimited number of other background materials to the interview to manifest interest in architecture and building engineering (i.e. e.g. awards for secondary research activity, proofs of participation in student competitions etc.). The assessmentprocedure of the oral examination in architecture is specified by the Dean´s Directive.

3. The entrance examination to study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography and Civil Engineering consists of one part:

• written part - test in mathematics, maximum possible number of gained points: 20

The test in mathematics covers secondary school subject matter as specified in the Dean´s Directive.
The applicants for study in the programme of Civil Engineering take an entrance examination in English.

4. Minimum number of points for the entrance examination necessary for admission to study:

Study programme Architecture and Building Engineering:
          at least 8 points for the examination in mathematics,
          at least 10 points for the examination in architecture;
Study programmes Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Civil Engineering:
          at least 8 points for the examination in mathematics.

5. Minimum total recalculated number of points in the admission procedure necessary for admission to study:

The algorithm for the calculation of the total recalculated number of points in the admission procedure:
The assessment of the admission procedure results consists of 20% of the applicant´s study results in the subject of Mathematics at secondary school and 80% of the results of the entrance examination.
The total recalculated number of points in the admission procedure (max. 1000) is calculated using the formula

for study programme Architecture and Building Engineering:

for study programmes Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Civil Engineering:

where: P is the mean average (expressed as two decimal places) of all marks in the subject of Mathematics written on reports for the second half-year of the last four years of secondary school.
M or A respectively are points gained in the entrance examination in mathematics or architecture.

The applicants to study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Civil Engineering, who successfully solved at least the regional round of Secondary School Research Activity, Olympiads, or competitions on a comparable level and prove this fact by a respective diploma, will have their total recalculated number of points gained in the admission procedure increased by 40 points. For applicants to the study programme of Architecture and Building Engineering who successfully solved the competitions above this fact will be considered within the oral part of the examination in architecture.

If an applicant completed secondary school abroad (not applicable to the Slovak Republic), they will only be assessed on the basis of their results gained in the entrance examination, and the total number of points is calculated using the formula

for study programme Architecture and Building Engineering:       25 . M + 25 . A
for study programmes Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Civil Engineering:       50 . M

6. Maximum numbers of students admitted to study:

7. Conditions for the waiver of the entrance examination in mathematics:
