6. Bachelor’s Degree Students of FCHT: 
Choose a Compulsory-Elective Subject

Students enrolled in the Bachelor’s programme at the Faculty of Chemical Technology (FCHT) must select one compulsory-elective subject to study in the first semester.

You can choose between Biology I and Management of Enterprise Processes.

Check the subjects in advance and decide which option you prefer. It is also possible to study both options. On Enrolment Day, visit the Study Office to officially register for your chosen subject.

On Enrolment Day, we will guide you through all administrative tasks required for successful enrolment at UCT Prague.

Your personal attendance on Enrolment Day is obligatory. If you cannot attend for a serious reason, inform your admissions officer well in advance.

1) What to Bring with You

• Registration Card – completed and signed 
• Integrated Form – completed and signed 
• Passport 
• Cash of 300 CZK if you want to purchase ISIC card

2) University Card | ISIC

On Enrolment Day, you will be taken to the UCT Card Centre to receive either a university card or an ISIC. 
You can choose which card to receive. The university card is issued free of charge; the ISIC card costs 300 CZK. At the Card Centre, you will be asked to present your passport and have your photo taken.
Don’t forget to smile! :)

Both cards serve the same functions:

• access to the university
• student discounts in the university canteen

ISIC additionally provides discounts worldwide—valid in over 130 countries with access to more than 135,000 discount locations, including many in the Czech Republic.

3) Study Confirmation

You can request a Study Confirmation to prove your student status. This document can be used to apply for public transportation discount or to open a Czech bank account. 

If you are a motivated Bachelor or Master student planning to apply for a merit-based university scholarship, we strongly recommend opening a Czech bank account – merit-based scholarships can only be paid to Czech bank accounts.

On Enrolment Day, you will receive an official document with tuition fee payment details. The tuition fee must be paid within 90 days of receiving this document.

The same payment information is available in the Study Information System, and you can pay by scanning a QR code, online card payment, or via bank transfer.
