PPE – Philosophy, Politics, Economics (Mgr./MA)

Every applicant has to pay EUR 1,000 once they are accepted. This amount will be then deducted from the tuition fee. The tuition fee can be paid in 3 instalments.

*The CEVRO Institute would like to encourage students  to come to Prague regardless of their financial circumstances.The scholarships  we offer are awarded on merit and/or on financial need. Applications are invited especially from those with a strong academic background.  

# Note that the PPE program can be completed in three trimesters, i.e. one year. Studying in trimesters saves time and money. It gives you the same student learning experience as a semester model but you will complete your Master’s program  in a shorter time. It saves you money not only because you will find a good job with a new degree sooner but you will save on other costs as well such as staying in accommodation in Prague for the full-year and one year only (as opposed to leaving Prague over the summer period and get back after summer break).

If you need a visa to get to the Czech Republic, here is the general information. 

In short, this is how you should proceed:

(The short term visa is issued by the Czech Embassy or Czech Consulate in your country of origin and takes only 10 days to be processed. The long term student visa is issued by the Czech Ministry of Interior and takes up to 60 days to be processed.)
