Bachelor’s Program
Notice for Applicants: The IDS program does not have any contracts or partnerships with agencies that claim to assist applicants with the admission process. We provide all necessary information directly to applicants and students.
The intake for the program starting in September 2025 is now open.
The 3-year bachelor’s degree program offers courses in international relations combined with economics, law, mathematics, and statistics. The program emphasizes the interconnections of knowledge in political, security, cultural, and other areas. Our students also graduate with extensive language skills.
For those interested in starting their studies in September 2025, please submit the e-Application by selecting “Faculty of International Relations – Bachelor type of study – B-ID International and Diplomatic Studies.”
The admission process consists of two separate application periods. The conditions for both periods are the same, but each has different deadlines. You must submit a separate application for each period; however, applicants who take the entrance exam during the first application period cannot apply for the same program in the second period.
For international students requiring a visa, or for those who wish to receive their admission decision as soon as possible, we recommend applying in the first application period.
Please note that both application periods apply to studies starting in September 2025. When filling out the online application, please select the study period “WS 2025/2026”.
Applications are submitted electronically at https://insis.vse.cz/prihlaska/?lang=en.
