1-Year Acting for Film Program – Entry Requirements

Applicants aged 17 may be accepted if they have completed secondary education and provide parental/guardian consent.

If English is not your first language, and you didn’t study your last two years of school in English, you need to show that your English level is at least:

• CEFR B2
• PTE 51
• IELTS 5.5 (Reading and Writing at 5.5 or higher)
• or any other recognised language test at the same level

No certificate is required at the time of application; English level is assessed during the admissions interview. If the applicant does not provide a certificate before the start of the academic year, they must take the school’s internal English test. If they do not meet the required level, they must attend English classes (at an additional cost) and retake the test. The required English level must be achieved before final assessments; otherwise, the student will not be eligible to complete the program.

A scan or photo of a valid passport or ID card is required as part of the application for identity verification. Data is processed in line with GDPR.

Applicants who are in their final year of secondary school and do not yet have their diploma may apply with an official transcript for now. The final Secondary School Certificate must be submitted before the start of the academic year.

Applicants from South Asia may apply with 10 completed school years (Class 10) as an equivalent entry requirement.

Your CV should include your name and contact details, a personal statement, work experience or your video/film shooting references, education and qualifications, key skills.

Please introduce yourself (1–2 minutes). Tell us who you are and briefly describe your experience. This is not a performance — we are interested in your communication skills, motivation, and personality. Phone recordings are welcome; please record horizontally.

Please send a video of your acting performance (max. 2 minutes). It can be a monologue or a scene from any film/TV series, performed by you. The video does not need to be professionally produced.

Submit a motivational letter of 1–2 standard pages (250–500 words) describing your motivation to study acting for film, your goals, and why Prague Film Institute is the right fit for you.

If you meet the entry requirements, you will get shortlisted for a video interview in order to assess your motivation, interest in acting for film and your study expectations.
