Erasmus Traineeship
Registration for Erasmus+ Traineeship at Charles University / Short-Term PhD Mobilities
Apart from study stays, Charles University also offers opportunities for traineeships and short-term PhD mobilities with the Erasmus+ programme. You are warmly welcome to enrich your studies with professional experience at one of our 17 faculties with dozens of study fields!
1. Before you apply
To explore traineeship or short-term PhD mobility opportunities at CU, contact the Erasmus+ coordinator at the faculty corresponding to your field of interest.
The contact details of Erasmus+ coordinators can be found here. You can also visit the English websites of our faculties to find out more about their study fields and research projects. Please note that it is up to each faculty to decide whether it has sufficient capacity to host trainees or PhD students for their mobility periods.
2. Nomination
After agreeing on a possible traineeship or short-term PhD mobility, please consult it with your home university. Your university’s Erasmus+ coordinator must submit an official nomination to CU via our online platform. A link to the platform is included in the CU Infosheet. Erasmus+ coordinators from the sending universities who do not have the CU Infosheet should contact us at .
3. Application
Once your nomination has been accepted by the CU Erasmus+ coordinator, you will receive an information email with further instructions. You must complete the CU online application form and prepare your Learning Agreement / Traineeship Agreement, which must be signed by all three parties (you, your home university coordinator, and the host CU faculty coordinator).
4. Admission
After your Learning Agreement / Traineeship Agreement has been approved, you will receive an Admission Confirmation Letter.
Deadlines
For visa-required applicants: please be aware that your nomination must be submitted via the online form at least 3 months before the planned start of your stay. In case you are planning to stay in the Czech Republic for a period shorter than 3 months, please consult the conditions at Entry Requirements – Visa.
For EU/EFTA applicants: Your nomination must be submitted via the online platform at least 1 month before the start of your stay. Depending on the field of study or the nature of the traineeship/PhD mobility, the required period may be longer. Please consult this with the Erasmus+ coordinator at the host faculty.
Please note that the traineeship or short-term PhD mobility process cannot be completed in a shorter timeframe.
