As a university with a global community, PCU students value the opportunity to broaden their experiences through a study exchange abroad. Typically for one semester, exchanges enrich learning and challenge students to adapt to new surroundings, whilst immersing themselves in a different culture.
PCU is also a natural destination for students who wish to study abroad and have a truly international experience, whilst studying in English. We welcome students every year from a number of our partner institutions.
The EU’s Erasmus+ programme is a growing part of PCU’s identity as an important international institution of higher education in the Czech Republic. Erasmus+ allows students to experience the variety of life and cultures of Europe across the EU. These programmes benefit both students from the Czech Republic as well as students from abroad, offering opportunities to experience the EU as a whole.
PCU participates in the Erasmus+ programme with the goal of sending up to 5% of students to a participating Erasmus+ university for part of their studies.
At the present time, only students or teachers on the Bachelor’s programme in School of Education are eligible. More programmes will become eligible in the near future.
Our School of Education has an Erasmus+ agreement with the following universities. If you are studying on the Bachelors in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at PCU and are interested in studying abroad under Erasmus+ please contact the Student Support Advisor for the School of Education about deadlines and becoming nominated.
The deadlines for receiving your nomination are:
- April 30th for a September start
- October 31st for a February start
