Admission procedure

For the applicant, the admission procedure starts with the delivery of their application to the faculty which is conducting the relevant study programme.

The Technical University of Košice (TUKE) accepts applications only in an electronic version. The applicant for the study at TUKE is no longer obligated to print the electronic application and to send it in a paper form by mail.

The application must be delivered in an electronic form without the advanced electronic signature using the TUKE Academic Information System (IS MAIS), which allows the study applicant to verify registration of the application in IS MAIS from the date of its submission to the last day of the admission procedure.

All attachments can be uploaded in .pdf format to IS MAIS (curriculum vitae, education certificates, school leaving certificate, proof of payment of the admission procedure fee and other attachments according to the faculty requirements).
