General information about scholarships under International Agreements (Government)

 

Exchange programme organized by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic based on agreements with governments of various countries of the world.

Currently there are nearly 40 active intergovernmental agreements, through which reciprocal stipend programmes are available to students and academic staff. Exchanges for the Faculty of Arts of Charles University are overseen by the Centre for International Services.

For more information about scholarships for the academic year 2015/2016 please see the website of Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.

Programme requirements, number of available places and other rules are dependent on the specific country. Students should contact the appropriate Ministry and/or Czech Embassy in their home country for information on how to apply for this programme.

Students who are successful in receiving the nomination from the competent authority in their home country will have their application forwarded to the Faculty of Arts by the Centre for International Studies. The International Office of CU FA will then forward the application to the corresponding academic department.
