Every applicant must submit officially verified and certified copy of the upper secondary education certificate with transcript and verified and certified copies of transcripts from all years at High school.

Applicants need to get “Apostille” on the original document on education (please check with the authority giving apostille). The certificate must be in the official language of the country where it has been issued. Apostilled certificate in English language issued directly by High school is also acceptable. Apostilled certificate in English language issued directly by High school is also acceptable.

In case the country does not issue Apostille, the applicants must have the documents „superlegalized“. Superlegalization is done by the Ministry of Education, followed by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and finally by the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in that country or in the country which acts on its behalf.

Exceptions are applicants who have completed their upper secondary education in the following countries: Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, France and Czech Republic. Applicants from these countries should provide only the notary authorized copy of the document.
