Student Exchange Programmes

 

 

The faculty welcomes students on the basis of programmes such as ERASMUS+, CEEPUS, AKTION, Visegrad Fund etc., but also on the basis of cooperation with specific universities at the national, university or the faculty level.

The International Office of the Faculty of Arts administrates mobilities, it does not have the agenda of admitting students/foreigners to degree programmes. Mobility is usually semester-long, within the Erasmus programme we also accept students for short-term mobility of 5-30 days. This generally applies to students on a doctoral programme. A learning agreement is compulsory for all types of exchange stays. At the end of the mobility, the student does not receive a diploma, but so called Transcript of records.

Please BEWARE: 

If you want to apply for the full study programme, you can find information here.
