For applicants abroad, we recommend sending the application as soon as possible after the opening of the admission procedure so that there is enough time to process the visa. The application deadline for applicants abroad is usually around 12th December.
Payment for application: a handling fee of 750 CZK must be made also by the end of the application deadline. Details of the payment methods are described in the electronic information system in the admissions section or on the FTA website.
If you have not managed to submit your application during the first period, you can try within the 2nd period of the admission procedure by the end of March. However, if you need a visa to study in the Czech Republic, you can get into a time crunch. Please note that the Supplementary period of entrance examinations allows only an oral interview without the possibility of videoconferencing for applicants abroad.
What about the admission procedure?
If you were working hard at high school and achieved an average grade up to 1.6 in the last year of study (or on your Certificate of Higher Education), formal entry requirements are waived for you (but do not forget to fill in the application form)!
For all the remaining applicants, entry tests apply, based on the eligible programs.
If an applicant for any of the study programme in English cannot come personally to the admission procedure due to a long-term stay abroad, he/she may apply to the Dean for participation in the admission procedure via video conference. However, this form of admission procedure must be applied for at the latest by submitting an application in the University Information System.

Our graduates are hitting the world equipped with hands-on experience! By studying at the FTA, you will gain a lot of practical skills including language skills. This is the reason why up to 100% of our graduates find employment in the job market.
If you are interested in international development cooperation, you can work in Czech or international organizations (ČRA, FAO, UNDP etc.) as an expert advisor or foreign development project coordinator or specialist.
Further employment opportunities lie within government, e.g. in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Agriculture (MZV, MZe) or other state institutions in the field of agricultural management and development and the evaluation of agricultural policy in developing countries.
You can become a consultant in botanical or zoological gardens, specialized horticulture or national parks not only in the Czech Republic but also in Africa or anywhere in the world. Your expertise can come in handy also in private companies dealing in commodities, trading in tropical countries, agriculture, manufacturing, consultancy or education.
If scientific research is your path, you can join scientific centres focused on innovation in the field of tropical crops and animal husbandry. Or why not aim at becoming a university teacher in the Czech Republic or abroad? You might need to pursue a Ph.D. title for that career :)
Bachelor graduates usually find employment in practical activities, such as development project implementation, while holders of Ing or Ph.D. titles tend to acquire positions in management, research, education and consulting.
