MAE Application Instructions

 

Thank you for your interest in the MAE program. We encourage you to apply. There is no application fee.

 

Application Deadline

There is NO application deadline!

Note for students who need an EU visa: You are strongly encouraged to apply before March 31, 2012. If you need a visa and you don’t apply by March 31, 2012, you might have a problem getting a visa in time.

We accept applications year-round until the program is full. After the program is full for this year, we can put you on a waiting list or offer you admission for the next year. So, apply early! It’s better for you!

We are currently accepting applications for the MAE class that starts in September 2012. You will receive an admissions decision within 15 days of when the application is complete.

 

To apply for the MAE Program:

 

1. Fill out the MAE Online Application.

The application form mainly asks for your contact information and previous study experience. However, there are two things that might require more time to prepare: (1) translations of your diplomas and transcripts into English and (2) contact details for two recommenders who can provide references upon our request.  

2. Upload electronic files (the last page of the Online Application):

  • scans of all your translated diplomas and transcripts (not required if the originals are in English),
  • scans of all your original diplomas and transcripts, in the original language,
  • electronic or scanned standardized score reports (not required),
  • a scan of the main page of your passport, with picture.

3. Mail us by post the following paper materials:

  • notarized photocopies of all diplomas and transcripts, in the original language,
  • originals of certified English translations of all diplomas and transcripts if the originals are not in English.

Your application is not complete until all of these materials—including all uploaded files, all mailed paper materials, and all responses from your references—have been received.


When your application is complete, we will notify you. You will receive an admissions decision within 15 calendar days of when the application is complete.

The admissions decision can be:

  • Admit to the program,
  • Do not admit to the program,
  • Put on a waiting list until closer to the start of the program.

If you are offered admission to the program, you will receive a specific offer for the tuition level. To accept the offer, you will need to make a tuition deposit payment within 30 days of when we sent the offer to you. At that point your admission is secured, and you can plan on studying in the MAE Program in Prague the next September!
