ERASMUS+ STUDY ABROAD IN 2024/2025: GENERAL INFORMATION

The information about the selection procedure for students' exchanges within the Erasmus+ can be found in the faculty Erasmus+ Call for applications for the given academic year, which is usually released in January or in the first half of February, all the up-to-date information is here.

1.  Erasmus exchanges are offered through our agreements with specific partner institutions in specific subject areas and at specific levels of study (Bachelor, Master, etc.). Students from any of our study programmes may apply for any of these exchanges, but only in the subject area listed, i.e. if you pick a university where we have an exchange in Sociology or Journalism, you cannot use that agreement to go and study Economics (or vice versa). You can only apply to study the subject area specified. If you are a Bachelor student, you can apply only for agreements for Bachelor students, or those which are headed "All". As Masters students, you can apply only for agreements that specifically say they are for Masters students, or those which are headed "All".

2.  Because of the very large number of applicants we anticipate for this programme, the first round of selection has been divided up between our institutes and the International Office. Each agreement has been assigned to a specific institute, or to the International Office. You can identify where the first round is being held by the code letters in the table (IES = Economics, IKSZ = Media Studies, IMS = International Studies, IPS = Political Science, ISS = Sociology, OZS = International Office). Applications must be sent to relevant email address!

3. APPLICATIONS. Students are allowed to make a maximum of 3 applications. All the information about submitting applications can be found in the Erasmus+ Call for applications. Students are asked to submit only ONE cover letter for all applications to those universities/slots that are administered by the IES. In this cover letter (1-2 pages), students should explain what they expect from the Erasmus+ exchange in general, why they want to study abroad, which universities they choose and why, and which particular courses they intend to study. In the case students apply also to universities administered by other institutes, they must elaborate individual cover letters for these applications.  

4. ELIGIBILITY. Erasmus+ program is now available to ALL degree-seeking students of Charles University regardless of citizenship. The first-year Bachelor students may apply, too (see the special conditions in the Guideline 1/2024). Students may spend abroad with Erasmus+ program 12 months in total in each level of their studies (Bachelor, Master, Ph.D.).

5.  DEADLINES. All the deadlines are given in the  Erasmus+ Call for applications. Applications should be usually submitted by the end of February. The quality of a student will be assessed based on his or her application.

ERASMUS+ SELECTION PROCEDURE AT THE IES: STUDY ABROAD IN 2024/2025

All the information about selection procedure at the IES is summarized in the Guideline 1/2024

The current University Ranking for study exchanges in 2024/2025 is available here.

When making your decision at which universities you apply, take into account your probability of getting matched with your preferred university. As the matching system is rather complicated and successful matching of students depends on choices of other students, we elaborated an indicative matching simulation file that should help students to find out which alternatives are accessible for them. The more students participate, the more accurate results students can get. It is a google sheet which can be accessed when a student is logged to his faculty gmail account. The link is available here. Please, log in with your faculty email address to access the file and read the instructions carefully.

Notes:

You should definitely hand in three applications to increase probability of success.
