  • Critical analysis of a contemporary television series of the applicant’s choice (two to five standard pages in Czech/Slovak).

Quality always takes precedence over quantity in the admissions procedure! Basic study requirements include fluency in English, broader cultural awareness and the ability to speak and write in a refined manner. Age or educational attainment to date are not decisive factors for admission. However, all applicants must be of legal age (over 18 years old).

Be sure to label EACH of the files you want to submit with your name! For larger attachments (over 20 MB), please use an online repository.

On 12 and 13 December, they will be interviewed in person by a TVI and CME panel on the basis of the submitted materials.
