Entrance examinations to the University's postgraduate studies:

  1. Persons entering postgraduate studies in a field of knowledge (major) other than the one specified in their Master's (Specialist's) degree are assigned additional entrance examinations. Additional entrance examinations are graded on a pass/fail scale. An applicant who has received a "fail" grade is not allowed to take the entrance examinations.
  2. Entrance exam in the major (within the scope of the master's degree programme in the relevant major).
  3. Entrance exam in a foreign language (at the choice of the Academic Council of the higher education institution (research institution) in the amount that corresponds to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
