How to Apply
Application
- Applications accepted only electronically, at eprihlaska.zcu.cz
- Fill out the required information; it is not necessary to provide your high school grades
- Upload attachments – electronic portfolio of your artwork. The portfolio format is determined by individual studios, please check the requirements before submitting. You should have your portfolio ready before you start filling out the application.
- Medical certificate is not required
It is only possible to submit one application to one studio or programme. Therefore, careful preparation is better than shooting from the hip. Browse the websites of the studios and artists who lead them, come to the Open Day, try the preparatory courses at the ArtCamp summer school, or book a free consultation with a selected teacher.
If the studio committee does not evaluate your portfolio or style of work as suitable for admission to the studio of your choice, do not despair. You still have a chance. Your work will also be assessed by other studio committees within the whole programme. Therefore, when considering the application, also research the other studios forming the entire study programme.

The Talent Exam
The talent exam has two rounds where the first part is carried out remotely and the second in attendance.
In the first part, the studio committees evaluate the submitted electronic portfolios. This part serves for indicative raw classification. Almost half of you will be invited to the second round to test your skills in more detail. In the course of three days, you will be performing the assigned tasks directly at the faculty. The studio committees will also examine your portfolio of electronically submitted work. Of course, this only applies to work that you are able to bring by yourself. This is firstly done for “authentication” purposes and secondly because electronic information is often distorted. The faculty committee then decides on the study admission.
