Previous studies and work experience may be taken into account towards the completion of the curriculum without limitation, but it does not apply to final examinations and defence of final papers.

The student must submit documents certifying studies (the original and a copy), e.g. a diploma, extract of the diploma supplement, a document describing the substance of the studies and other materials (e.g. portfolio, description of work experience, creative work, etc.), unless the completion of the course has been proven in the Studies Information System. The applicant is responsible for the accuracy of submitted documents and other materials.

Deadlines for submitting RPL applications for transferring prior learning and professional experience at the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences are:

  • September 15 – for the recognition of previous learning and work experience to be taken into account in the completion of the curriculum in the autumn semester;
  • February 15 - for the recognition of previous learning and work experience to be taken into account in the completion of the curriculum in the spring semester;

Applications not related to a specific semester can be submitted on an ongoing basis and are evaluated by the RPL committee within one month from the date of submission of the application.
