Erasmus+ traineeships are available to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students. A traineeship can take place at any time of the year, including during the summer holidays, provided that students can fulfil their study obligations. Traineeships last 2–12 months. At the Faculty, traineeships of up to six months are generally supported. Students are responsible for finding a suitable host organisation that agrees to provide the traineeship. The content of the traineeship must be relevant to the student's study programme and cannot consist of writing a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral thesis.

Application and selection

The application process for Erasmus+ traineeships is more flexible than the process for study mobility. Selection dates may vary according to the Faculty's arrangements and the specific traineeship opportunity. Students should apply well in advance. The Faculty currently recommends submitting an application at least two months before the planned start of the traineeship.

  • Proof of language proficiency at B2 level or higher – required for bachelor's and master's students

Application documents should be submitted to the Faculty's International Office according to the current Faculty instructions.

Application in the Erasmus+ system

After submitting the documents for the Faculty selection procedure, students create an Erasmus+ traineeship application in the Charles University Web Applications for the relevant academic year and selected host organisation. The application includes the planned content and specific details of the traineeship. Students then complete a Learning Agreement for Traineeship, which must correspond to their study programme and be approved by the student, the Faculty and the host organisation.

  • finalising and signing the Learning Agreement for Traineeship
  • obtaining confirmation of the traineeship from the host organisation
  • arranging appropriate insurance
  • completing the Erasmus+ Participant Agreement before departure

The Erasmus+ scholarship is calculated based on the confirmed dates of the traineeship.
