Charles University concludes inter-university agreements, which are administered by the International Relations Office.
On the basis of these agreements, students may participate in semester-long or year-long exchange stays. Some agreements also offer opportunities for internships, research placements, language courses, and winter/summer schools.
All Charles University students enrolled in an accredited bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree programme, provided that their home faculty takes part in the relevant inter-university agreement. Each country’s website (see the list below) shows the institutions and also lists the participating faculties.
Please note: In order to apply, students must have successfully completed at least one semester of university studies.
You can apply to institutions in countries where Charles University has an inter-university agreement that allows student exchanges. Each country’s website (see the list below) shows the institutions and also lists the participating faculties.
Please note: In order to apply, your home faculty has to take part in the relevant inter-university agreement.
Exchange students do not pay tuition fees and the host university usually also assists them in securing accommodation in student dormitories. Some partner universities offer scholarships and other advantages.
Students do not pay tuition fees.
Although some partner universities may provide scholarships and additional benefits, students are responsible for covering the costs of visas, travel, insurance, accommodation, meals, and other expenses.
Students may apply for financial support from the Mobility Fund or request support from foundations or grant agencies. Some faculties also provide additional funding—students are therefore encouraged to contact their faculty coordinator.
Note: The websites of our partner universities usually offer current information about living costs in the given country. This and other useful information on the practical aspects of studying abroad can also be found in the final reports written by students who have already returned from similar stays at Charles Abroad.
For stays starting in the following academic year: 1–31 October.
For additional places available for the spring semester: 1–30 April.
These deadlines do not apply to exchanges in Germany and Switzerland or to short-term stays (see specific information provided).
Students may submit one main and one secondary application within a single selection process.

The list of countries with which Charles University has inter-university agreements can be found below. Each country section includes a list of partner universities with the participating faculties.
Application at Charles University
Applications are submitted through the CU Web Applications portal.
Details about all the required documents are available here.
Deadlines:
1–31 October (for stays starting in the following academic year – autumn and spring semesters)
1–30 April (for stays starting in the following academic year – spring semester only; used to fill unoccupied places)
Selection process
The selection procedure takes place in two rounds according to set criteria:
Faculty round – the home faculty makes a pre-selection and forwards shortlisted applications to the Rectorate.
Rectorate round (early December/June) – applications are ranked by score; the Vice-Rector for International Affairs approves nominations of the top candidates for partner universities.
Selected students are then nominated to the partner institutions.
The number of nominations depends on the slots agreed with partners in the contracts.
Application at the host university
Nominated students must then submit an application to their chosen university according to that institution’s requirements.
It is the student’s responsibility to fulfil all conditions set by the host university (e.g. language requirements).
The host institution makes the final admission decision and issues the official acceptance letter.
Students must:
Arrange sufficient health insurance valid in the destination country.
Complete and submit a Declaration of Honour to their Rectorate coordinator.
Students should also consult their faculty officers about the possibility of additional financial support from the Mobility Fund.
Upon return, students must submit two final reports evaluating their study experience, the benefits of the stay, and practical advice for future participants:
