Erasmus+ study and work abroad

The aim of the programme is to promote mutual relations and cooperation between higher education institutions within the European area, to increase the level of transparency and compatibility of higher education qualifications in Europe, to improve language teaching, to inform about the education systems in different countries and to give education a European dimension.

The ERASMUS ID code of Masaryk University is CZ BRNO05.

Study exchange can only take place in the following Programme Countries:

• EU member states: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
• EEA countries: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein
• Turkey, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

You can only select from the list of universities (Erasmus Exchange) with which the Faculty of Education MU has an Erasmus agreement. You choose the appropriate university for the exchange especially with respect to your field of study at the Faculty of Education. If you are interested in a foreign university that is not primarily intended for your field of study (see the table in the column Field of Study at PdF MU), contact the relevant coordinator of the contract, who will tell you whether and under what conditions the mobility is an option.

The pertinent department will nominate your for an exchange based on a selection procedure. The selection criteria are set by each department individually. The selection procedure is organized by the authorized person at the department (Erasmus coordinator).

You can take a study exchange or a traineeship outside the Czech Republic for a maximum of 12 months per study cycle (bachelor's, master's, doctoral). Thus, you can complete, for example, 6 months of study exchange and 6 months of traineeship, or, for example, a full 12 months of study exchange, but there is always a limit of 12 months in one study cycle.

While at a study exchange or traineeship, you are still under the obligation to pay your tuition fees if you are studying for your degree in English language.

• The study exchange is carried out only on the basis of valid inter-institutional agreements concluded between the Faculty of Education MU and the foreign institution. The length of the study exchange is anywhere between the minimum of 3 months and 12 months. 
• The student is selected in a duly announced selection procedure and must be enrolled in at least the second year of bachelor's or master’s studies in the full-time or combined form of study at the time of departure. 
• The student is enrolled in an accredited bachelor's, master's or doctoral study program at a university involved in the Erasmus+ program. 
• Throughout the stay, the student must be duly enrolled in studies at the faculty/department through which the stay is carried out, and must not terminate or interrupt the study! 
• For successful completion of the exchnage, the student must obtain minimum of 20 ECTS credits per semester of study at the host institution. 
• Each applicant must meet the Qualification Conditions of the Erasmus+ Programme.

According to the Dean's Directive No. 4/2015 On the Individual Study Plan of Students of the Faculty of Education when Going Abroad, each student going on a study exchange is granted an Individual Study Plan (ISP). The ISP is automatically granted to the student after they fulfil the obligation to register the study exchange in the MU Information System (IS MU) before departure. A student who has been granted an ISP has the right to negotiate their non-participation in lectures with otherwise compulsory attendance with the teachers of compulsory and selective courses.

The Erasmus+ mobility programme requires MU students to submit an application for recognition of courses/credits from a foreign exchange, see Article 9, paragraph 1. Rector's Directive No. 2/2024 Rules for the Recognition of the Results of Study and Work Placements of Students of Masaryk University.
