6. In the case of foreign citizens (excluding applicants from the Slovak Republic) applying for study in a study programme in Czech language, certification of their readiness to study in Czech in one of the ways specified in the Dean´s Directive.
7. In the case of applicants for study in a study programme in English language, certification of their readiness to study in English in one of the ways specified in the Dean´s Directive.
The applicants who have complied with the conditions above will be admitted to study at the Faculty of Civil Engineering (hereinafter "FCE") in the order of their total recalculated number of points gained in the admission procedure pursuant to par. 6, maximally in numbers filling individual study programmes specified in par. 8 to capacity. If more applicants have the same number of points as the applicant in the last place pursuant to par. 8, all these applicants will be admitted.
The entrance examination to the study programme of Architecture and Building Engineering consists of two parts:
- written part - a test in Mathematics,
- oral part - an interview in Architecture.
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 (e.g. a short passage entitled "Why have I chosen the programme of 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, the applicant´s creative approach is assessed. The sheet is the basic background material for an interview during the oral part of the admission procedure and it must be created specifically for the admission procedure (no school seminar projects or collages made for student competitions etc. will be accepted).
- 3 own graphical works on topics related to architecture, urban planning or landscape produced by any graphic technique (freehand drawing is primarily preferred) manifesting the applicant´s ability to perceive and capture space. Outputs from computer programmes may account for max. 1/3 of presented works; the graphic works assessed exclude drawings from descriptive geometry and related pieces of drawing.
The applicant may also bring an unlimited number of other background materials to the interview to manifest interest in architecture and building engineering (mainly awards for secondary school research activity, certificates of participation in student competitions, etc.).
The assessment procedure of the oral examination in Architecture is specified by the Dean´s Directive.
The entrance examination to study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Building Engineering, Metrology and Civil Engineering consists of one part:
- written part - a test in Mathematics.
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.
The minimum number of points for the entrance examination necessary for admission to study:

study programme of Architecture and Building Engineering:
8 points for the examination in Mathematics (max. possible number of points: 20)
10 points for the examination in Architecture (max. possible number of points: 20)
study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Cartography - branch of Geodesy, Cartography and Geoinformatics:
8 points for the examination in Mathematics (max. possible number of points: 20)
study programmes of Building Engineering, Metrology and Geodesy and Cartography - branch of Land Information Systems for Public Administrations:
6 points for the examination in Mathematics (max. possible number of points: 20).
The minimum total recalculated number of points in the admission procedure necessary for admission to study:
study programme of Architecture and Building Engineering: 460 points
study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Cartography - branch of Geodesy, Cartography and Geoinformatics: 400 points
study programmes of Building Engineering, Metrology and Geodesy and Cartography - branch of Land Information Systems for Public Administration: 320 points.
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 of Architecture and Building Engineering:

1/3 (800 - 200 . P) + 20 . M + 20 . A
for study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Building Engineering, Metrology and Civil Engineering:

1/3 (800 - 200 . P) + 40 . M
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 (for applicants who take school-leaving examinations in the 2014/2015 school year, the mark for the first half-year of the final year is considered),
M or A are points gained in the entrance examination in Mathematics or 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 of Architecture and Building Engineering:

25 . M + 25 . A
for study programmes of Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství, Geodesy and Cartography, Building Engineering, Metrology and Civil Engineering:

50 . M
The applicants 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 100 points.

The maximum numbers of students admitted to study:

in study programmes of	Architecture and Building Engineering	380
	Civil Engineering/Stavební inženýrství	1320
	Geodesy and Cartography	200
	Building Engineering	200
	Metrology	50
	Civil Engineering	50

Conditions for the waiver of the entrance examination in Mathematics:
