Short-term and long-term Exchange Programmes
One of the key activities of the Faculty of Arts is internationalization. A lot of students are coming to our faculty within Exchange programmes as ERASMUS+, CEEPUS, Visegrad Fund, and within the academic and institutional agreements. The Faculty of Arts cooperates with foreign universities and scientific institutes on the basis of partnership agreements. At present, Palacký University has established substantial academic and institutional collaborations with almost 180 universities all over the world. The Erasmus+ programme is the most popular exchange programme for both, Czech and international students. Palacký University joined the programme in 1997 and since then the Faculty of Arts has established more than 400 long-term partnerships within this programme, with European and also with non-European countries.
The International Relations Office of the Faculty of Arts assists to foreign students who come for an Exchange on the basis of existing agreements between universities (i.e., Erasmus, CEEPUS) or between goverments or institutions (i.e., Government Exchange Programmes, AKTION, DAAD etc.). We refere to these stays as short-term mobilities (from 5 to 60 days) or long-term mobilities (up to 2 months). All these mobilities comply with a learning agreement approved in advance by the home universities. During this type of mobilities a student does not graduate (i.e. she/he does not receive a degree and a diploma). If a student wishes to complete a full study programme, she/he has to apply here and fulfill all the conditions necessary for admission.
ATTENTION: The Applicant for a full-fledged study programme, must contact the Students Office of the Faculty of Arts of Palacký University (BA and MA programmes) or the Research Office (Ph.D. Programmes), see more on https://www.ff.upol.cz/en/study/degree-programmes/ .
