Admissions, 2025: Czech applicants
In the 2025 admission cycle (1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025), 247 Czech citizens applied to Vysoká škola tělesné výchovy a sportu Palestra and took part in the admission procedure; 247 were admitted — 100% — and 247 enrolled.
Czech citizens only — the ministry's overview leaves out foreign applicants because it can't identify them uniquely. Entry to bachelor's and long (non-follow-on) master's programmes; follow-on master's and doctoral admissions aren't included.
People, not applications. Applicants are those who applied, excluding anyone who didn't turn up to any entrance exam; admitted and enrolled each count a person once, however many programmes admitted them.
This is how contested a place was among Czech applicants, not a cut-off and not the marks you need: each faculty sets its own entrance exam. The overview counts no foreign applicants and doesn't separate programmes by language of instruction, so it says nothing about an international applicant's chances, or about entry to a programme taught in English.
