- Compare the actual city where teaching takes place.
Master
- Read the university or faculty call.
- Confirm whether your bachelor field is directly eligible.

Recognition and selection
The institution checks whether your previous education grants access to the requested level, whether your documents are complete, whether programme-specific conditions are met, and your ranking where applications exceed available places.
Recognition is not a separate optional service. For applicants educated abroad, it is part of the admission process.
