Traineeship Abroad

Conect your knowledge with practical experience at a foreign institution!

If you want to know more about the application deadline, possibilities of going abroad or get general information about UCT Prague support for outgoing students, always go to the Home page.

Scholarship

UCT Prague offers financial support from the ERASMUS+ program and from its own MOBI mobility support program, which is used for short-term mobility and in those cases,  where we cannot use ERASMUS+ funds. Don't worry too much about what type of support you are applying for, whether it is Erasmus or MOBI. Applications are submitted via one application form, and we will determine the source of funding. 

 

The scholarship is usually paid in EUR, so it is necessary to have a EUR account. The amount of the contribution varies depending on the destination and length of stay.

 

Carefully consider the financial costs of each destination. If you have co-financing for your internship from other sources, we need to know the amount and source of funding. Certain sources cannot be combined, so we need to know this in order to choose the most suitable method of financing. 

Erasmus+ and MOBI Scholarship

• We recommend checking the options for external scholarships. You may be successful in applying for a scholarship that is significantly more financially advantageous. Search by country of departure in the overview of the most frequently searched programs "External Scholarships" and check the offers of programs related to the given country, or search using the AIA Scholarship Search Engine. You submit your application separately (not here) according to the instructions of the individual programs.

External Scholarships

Choose a destination and prepare your appliation

You can search among our partner universities, but you can also choose any institution or company applying science and research in a field that is compatible with your studies and research.  If you have no idea, where to go, you can search a list of our partner Universities, or go on "Where to search for a traineeship?" suggestions bellow.

Erasmus+ Partner Universities

Once you have made your choice and the institution has agreed to your internship (even if only provisionally), consult your departure with the dean's office and the vice-dean for education (Bc, Mgr students) or your supervisor (Mgr, PhD). 

 

Write down your internship plan and all known information in a document called Learning Agreement Before Mobility for Traineeship (LABM). You can find the documents for download at the bottom of the page.

Application

 

Applications can only be submitted online. You will need to have your Learning Agreement Before Mobility (LABM) approved by your vice-dean for education (BSP and MSP students) or your supervisor (DSP students). Next to other information, in LABM you must describe your  Traneeship program  and fill in the course, that will be recognised (BSP + MSP students only). Have short cover letter ready together with your language certificate. If you do not have one,  read the help section "Language certificate".

 

I want to apply

 

Check home page for the application deadlines.  Submit your application so that there are 1-2 months left between your departure and the deadline.

Selection interview

 

After the application deadline, you will be invited to an online selection interview. You will have the opportunity to present your study abroad plan, motivation, and compatibility with your study plan in more detail.

 

You can prepare a short (2-5 slides) presentation for the interview. You will receive a score based on the selection criteria (which you can review below). 

 

The results of the interviews will be communicated to you by email.  

Before departure

Has your application been approved? Congratulations! Now start gathering all the necessary documents, read our recommendations and tips on where to seek advice if necessary, and make an appointment to sign the participation agreement at least 14 days before your planned departure.  See below for instructions.  

Participant  Agreement

The International Office will prepare a Participant Agreement (financial agreement), for you. Once you have all the necessary documents ready, upload them and answer the questions in this form:

Data for Participant Agreement

• Once you have submitted the form, write to outgoing@vscht.cz  and ask for an appointment to sign the participation agreement. You must still have at least 10 working days left before your departure!

Changes during your stay

 Do you need to extend your internship? If your schedule allows and the dean's office or your supervisor agrees, send a completed Application for Extension and a signed Learning Agreement During Mobility, describing what you will be working on during the extended period. Send both to outgoing@vscht.cz . The documents can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. 

 

• The application must be submitted at least 30 days before the end of the mobility period. Please wait for our approval, as we need to assess the application, particularly in terms of the school's financial capabilities. Once the application has been approved, we will send you an Amendment to the Participation Agreement for signature.  

What to bring back home? 

If possible, do not leave without a Confirmation of Stay signed by a representative of the host institution (your supervisor). You must submit the original version of this document to the International Office upon your return.

 

• If you are unable to meet with your supervisor in the last days of your internship, fill out the form and ask for their signature and to send it by email. A copy of the email must be sent directly  to outgoing@vscht.cz. Documents for download can be found at the bottom of the page.

What are your duties after return?

Immediately after returning, inform the International Office and the Dean's Office of your arrival, submit the following documents and complete the questionnaires that will be sent to your school email address without delay. The necessary documents can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
