Study Abroad

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is a European Union's education programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which supports cooperation and mobility across all sectors of education.

Overview of qualification requirements

The Palacký University (relevant faculty/department) has an inter-institutional Erasmus+ agreement with the partner institution.
You are a student registered at an accredited study programme (Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral) at the Faculty of Science.
You have successfully completed at least the first year of a Bachelor programme.
The duration of the student mobility has to be a minimum of 3 months and maximum of 12 months – always within one academic year.
The total maximum of all Erasmus+ study mobilities and Erasmus+ traineeships per study cycle is 12 months.
In case of multiple mobilities under the Erasmus Programme, the European Commission has set the following rules: Erasmus students may study up to 12 months abroad in every study cycle (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degree). You are free to use the said time allocation for both studying abroad and traineeships.
For the entire duration of the planned mobility you have to be a student at the Faculty of Science (it is not possible to terminate or suspend your studies at FS prior to or in the course of your mobility).
Find out how the programme is organized at the faculty. In order to do that, contact your department coordinator or the faculty coordinator.
Find out the requirements and dates of the competitive selection. The criteria and dates are specified by your department. Competetive selections at the departments are typically set at the beginning of February.
Find out the consequences of the exchange programme for your studies at the Faculty of Science (recognition of courses studied abroad, the need to prolong your graduation date, an individual study plan).
Before the mobility you have to fill out the courses you will complete abroad in your Portal (Potral – STAG – My study – ECTS departures).
Students are required to earn a minimum of 20 ECTS credits per semester during their Erasmus+ study abroad. The recommended number of credits in study plan is 20‐30 ECTS credits per semester. For more details see the Directive of the Dean regarding credit recognition of student stays abroad.
Mobility is considered completed if the student submits the Transcript of Records that corresponds to the Learning Agreement. Students are thus obliged to not only spend the time stipulated in the Grant Agreement abroad, but also to fulfil the approved study programme specified in the Learning Agreement. If the student fails to follow the approved study programme, the institution may request that the student returns a part or entire grant.
Student will present his/hers Transcrips of Records to the coordinator at his/hers department who will acknowledge the courses completed abroad as courses for which student would enroll for the semester or for the whole academic year.

More information on Erasmus+ is also available on the Rectorate's International Relations Office website.

Traineeships

This mobility activity stimulates and strongly promotes the education and training of students through traineeships abroad.

It provides students with an opportunity to apply their current theoretical knowledge and skills related to their field of study in a specific work environment, expand these with new expert knowledge and capacities or strengthen key competencies such as efficient communication, including communication in foreign languages, intercultural competencies, team work, organizational skills, problem solution, information literacy, creativity, etc. Traineeships significantly enhance the qualification profile of students and recent graduates, boost their professional and personal development, and increase their employability.

The Traineeship does not require a bilateral agreement but must be agreed upon and confirmed in the form of a Letter of Admission (LoA) or Learning Agreement for Traineeships (LA). The traineeship must be closely related to the field of study, and following its completion must be fully recognized by the relevant department/centre. (Award of the agreed number of ECTS credits and/or a diploma supplement.)

All students going or interested in going on a traineeship have to always contact Mrs. Dana Gronychová at dana.gronychova@upol.cz.
