Erasmus agreements for study stays 2026/2027

Study plan

Fulfilling all study obligations of the previous academic year is mandatory for Erasmus departure warrant.

You do not need to complete the study plan to apply. However, it is highly recommended to start thinking about the study plan during the application process. The study abroad plan must correspond to the study programme the student is studying at LFP UK. Only courses that have a recognizable equivalent within the study programme at LFP UK can be accepted; the minimum number of credits for courses at LFP UK is 15 per semester. The study plan may consist of compulsory, elective or optional courses and a combination of different years. In the event that a course taken abroad does not have a specific equivalent within an accredited study programme, it may be recognised as an elective course

The student who is selected for the Erasmus+ study placement will then complete the subjects he/she has chosen to study abroad and list them in the study plan in the web application. The printed study plan takes the form of a Study Abroad Plan Protocol. The Vice Dean for Student Affairs is responsible for approving the compatibility of individual courses (in the categories of compulsory, elective or optional course).

Approved courses under the Study Abroad Protocol will be listed in the Learning Agreement, which is part of the Study Abroad Application Form. These courses also represent the minimum requirements necessary to fulfill the chosen program of study (curriculum) at the receiving institution.

The completed study abroad application plan may not be the final version and may be changed after the start of your stay abroad. Only the final version of the Study Plan Record must match the courses that the student will take abroad and that will be confirmed by the partner institution on the Transcript of Learning Outcomes.

The results of the selection procedure can be found at the link here: Erasmus+ 2026_2027 results

In addition to the overall results, you will also find the results list for each partner university. The students marked in green are nominated to that university.

For first year students for whom it is not yet possible to determine a study average, it has been decided, after consultation with other faculties with comparable selection procedures, to allocate 50% of the possible points for the study average.

In case of multiple students scoring the same points and their preferences being the same, their study average was taken into account for the final decision.

Who can go:
Any student who is enrolled in a Master’s or Doctoral programme and will be duly registered for studies at LFP UK for the entire period of their stay abroad can participate in the Erasmus+ Traineeship. LFP UK’s priority is to provide practical placements to students who have an internship as part of their study programme.

When:
Traineeships are open to any student from the first year of study.

For how long:
Traineeships can last between 2 – 12 months. A minimum of 2 months is considered to be 60 days. A minimum of 40 hours per week.

How often:
Under the Erasmus+ programme, students can participate in a practical placement abroad repeatedly. The total duration is 24 months, which may consist of a practical placement (Student Mobility for Traineeship), a study placement (Student Mobility for Studies) and/or a combination of these activities.

Tenders in 2026/2027
A student who arranges a practical placement with a foreign coordinator should report this to the International Relations Department. He/she will then be given access to log in via the web application.

The student can access the application by entering his/her personal number (the eight-digit number on the student card – ISIC – under the photo) and the password assigned to him/her when the card is issued.

Unlike study placements, the selection of students is decided by the University abroad and its Erasmus Faculty Coordinator.

If the student receives a confirmed Training Agreement from the foreign university, he/she is eligible for financial support.

The traineeship can take place anywhere in countries participating in the Erasmus+ program (the EU plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Turkey, and Serbia). Students may go to either a partner or non-partner institution. LPF UK has established agreements for practical internships at universities listed here.

Traineeship work plan – Training agreement
The work plan for the placement abroad must correspond to the student’s study programme at the University. Only internships that have an equivalent within the UK study programme can be recognised.

The internship can be compulsory or optional.

The specifics and content of the practical placement should be carefully listed on the web application. This will also complete the training agreement document, which is an integral part of the application form for the practical placement.

The information given here will also appear identically in the practical placement report document. The student prints this form using the online application and has it approved by the study programme guarantor and signed by the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs.

Application form

The Application form is automatically generated in .pdf format and can be printed directly from the web application once completed. As with study placements, it is essential to check the requirements of the partner institution, which may require its own forms, particularly regarding accommodation, orientation or language courses, etc.

ATTENTION Application deadlines at partner schools may differ from those at the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen (!!!).

The partner institution (University) usually informs the student about the acceptance of the work placement by sending back a confirmed application form.

In addition to the signed Training Agreement, the student must submit a “letter of invitation” directly from the workplace where he/she will be doing the internship. Without these documents he/she cannot be granted financial support.

Scholarship
Upon receipt of the application form confirmed by the partner institution and an acceptance letter from the foreign workplace, the student may be awarded a special purpose scholarship to support the placement abroad.

Scholarship rates https://cuni.cz/UKEN-2366.html

Participation agreement for transferring the special purpose scholarship to the student’s account
The proper use of the scholarship awarded and the conditions for its payment are governed by the Participation Agreement in accordance with the Erasmus+ Qualification Conditions.

The student concludes the Participation Agreement with the UK through the European Office of the Department for International Relations of the RUK in Prague, Ovocný trh 3, 116 36 Prague 1

The contract will be ready for the student’s signature no later than 10 working days before the planned departure for the internship.

In order to print the participation contract, it is necessary to have the EUR account number filled in the online application, where the scholarship will be subsequently transferred and also to have the personal document number indicated.

The student will be informed about the possibility of collecting the Participation Agreement by email to the address indicated in the web application.

As a condition for payment of the scholarship, the following must be submitted:

Confirmed application form ( Training agreement )

Acceptance letter from the partner institution ( workplace abroad )

Together with one original of the Participation Agreement, the student will also receive

• Confirmation of nomination to the Erasmus+ programme (Erasmus+ Nomination Letter) in English for the authorities (foreign police) abroad.

According to EU rules, it is the student’s obligation to register with the Foreign Police Department in the place where he/she will be studying within 30 days of his/her arrival.

Health and liability insurance

Czech citizens are entitled to health care in the EU and EEA countries according to the EEC Council Regulations 1408/71 and 574/72. However, in any EU country it is necessary to take into account the so-called patient’s deductible.

For these reasons, it is the student’s responsibility to take out insurance for all medical expenses valid for the destination country. Since 1 June 2004, an amendment to the above mentioned Regulations has been in force, which introduces the European Health Insurance Card as proof of entitlement to medical care in the EU and EEA countries.

In the context of a work placement abroad, the student will also take out liability insurance, which is valid for the foreign workplace.

In accordance with the obligations arising from the Financial Agreement, the student must complete a final evaluation report after returning from the internship and submit the following documents to the European Office of the Department for International Relations of the CU and a copy to the International Department of the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen:

• Traineeship certificate – – or also an evaluation report from the head of the department.
  Date of delivery: within 30 days of the end date of the traineeship
• Confirmation of Erasmus+ Period
  Date of delivery: within 30 days of the end date of the traineeship

Erasmus+ Participant Report The instructions for completing the report will be sent to the student in the form of an automatic email generated by the database at the time of the end of the placement abroad.

All documents after the end of the work placement abroad are registered by the European Office of the Department of International Relations of the RUK, the student can check the acceptance in the web application.

The scholarship is allocated according to the length of stay:
1 -14 days: 79 EUR/day
15 -30 days: 56 EUR/day

The grant can also be awarded for travel. This means for one day before the mobility starts and one day after the mobility ends. This grant can be increased by a social grant of 100 EUR for stays of 1-14 days or 150 EUR for stays of 15-30 days.

After return, its is obligatory to submit the documents (original of Confirmation of Erasmus+ Period) primarily to the European Office of RCU, see obligations here. Please, send the scan of documents also to internationaloffice@lfp.cuni.cz

The results of the faculty selection process can be found HERE. In cases where a study average could not be determined, 50% of the possible points were awarded. In cases where candidates had the same total number of points, preference was given to students in higher academic years. Selected students are marked in green and have been nominated for the university selection round.

The prestigious Fulbright scholarship programmes funded by the Czech and US governments provide Czech citizens with the opportunity to study, conduct research or teach in the USA. They give Czech educational and research institutions the opportunity to recruit a US educator or scientist.

All scholarships are awarded only under well-defined programs and procedures.

A signed consent to the processing of personal data is now a mandatory part of the application form. The form and instructions are on the individual scholarship pages.

Individuals apply directly to the Fulbright Commission, not through their home academic or other institutions. Fellows are selected through an open competition.

Fellowships typically cover living expenses, round-trip airfare and health insurance, and possibly some other costs (tuition or part of it, purchase of books, etc.).

Fellows travel to the U.S. on a J-1 visa for cultural and educational exchanges. In the case of a government-sponsored programme, as is the case with Fulbright scholarships, this visa is subject to a two-year follow-up stay in the home country.

We support approximately 40 Czech applicants each year in all programmes.

The ratio of selected scholarship holders to the number of applications depends on the specific programme, current interest and the financial requirements of the scholarship. As a rule, every third to fifth applicant succeeds.

The Fulbright Commission is not subject to the provisions of Article 38 of Regulation (EU) No 216/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of personal data concerning the appointment of the Fiduciary.

Essential prerequisites
The basic requirements for applying for a scholarship in any of our programmes are Czech citizenship, completion of at least a Bachelor’s degree and a very good command of English. If you do not meet the prerequisites for any of our programmes or the conditions of the scholarships do not suit you, you can contact our Advice Centre where we will try to help you find other resources.

What fields of study do we support?
Applications to individual programmes are open to all disciplines – humanities, sciences and engineering – except for MBA, LLM and clinical medicine. We welcome applications in American Studies as well as applications focusing on multicultural or interdisciplinary aspects of the subject.

How do we select fellows?
In all programs, fellowships are awarded on the basis of a selection process that takes place once a year for each program, usually in the fall or winter (see individual programs), for residency in the following academic year. Applicants must submit the application materials by the closing date.

The basic selection criterion for all programmes is the quality of the applicant and his/her project. In all programmes (with comparable project qualities), preference will be given to applicants who have not yet had the opportunity for a long-term stay in the USA. Diversity of the selected candidates is also an important aspect. For illustrative purposes, we list below some of the factors in the evaluation forms for the expertise.

Aspects of the project assessed
The Fulbright Commission reviews applications to all programs with experts in the field from the Czech Republic and abroad. In each programme, an oral selection process with scholarship applicants is conducted by a selection committee whose members are appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Board also gives final approval to the nomination of fellows in the Czech Republic, taking into account the recommendations of the selection committee, the availability of funds and other requirements of the programmes. The Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, appointed by the President of the United States and based in Washington, D.C., gives final approval for all grants.

Only one application per year
Applicants can only apply for one of our programmes in any one academic year. You cannot, for example, apply for the Fulbright Scholars and Lecturers Programme and then also apply for a Fulbright-Masaryk Scholarship or apply for a Student Scholarship and then apply for a Fulbright-Masaryk Scholarship. We encourage you to consult with us well in advance of the program you are considering. This rule does not limit your ability to apply to the same or another program the following year if you are unsuccessful in one year. The one-application rule applies to one selection period only.

It supports long-term stays of Czech scientists and university teachers in the USA to conduct research and possibly lecture in any field except clinical medicine. Scholarships may also be awarded to Czech language, literature, linguistics, etc. educators if they receive an invitation from a relevant US university or if the US side asks the Fulbright Commission to find a suitable lecturer.

Content of the grant
The duration of the fellowship depends on the project submitted and ranges from three to ten months in the academic year concerned.

• Cost-of-living stipend based on the average cost of living in the locality according to a price map produced annually by the Institute of International Education in New York.
• Return airfare allowance

   When evaluating applications, the Mobility Fund Council takes into account in particular the following criteria:
   • the priority assigned to the application by the faculty,
   • the applicant’s year of study, with preference given to applicants in more advanced years of study,
   • whether the applicant has previously received support from the Mobility Fund or the POINT program at the same level of study and in the relevant mobility category,
   • whether the planned mobility will take place at an institution:
   o belonging to the 4EU+ Alliance,

Important information:
• Applicants should not expect to receive the full amount requested.
• The student must meet the requirements of the level of study for which they applied for support throughout the entire period in which they receive the financial support. If the student completes their studies during the stay (e.g., by passing the final state examination), the financial support may be reduced accordingly, even if the student subsequently proceeds to a follow-up program of study.
