VISA:
Student/s from non-EU countries (e.g. Turkey) must apply for a visa in order to obtain authorisation for their exchange stay in the Czech Republic.

Students must apply for a LONG-TERM VISA/PERMISSION (PURPOSE: STUDY)

Please, note that it is very important to apply for the visa as soon as possible, as the visa procedure can take 60 days or more (from the date of the visa appointment)!

We may be able to facilitate this process by using special so-called student visa scheme for some specific countries (as soon as the student provides us with the necessary documents, he/she will be informed accordingly.)

Please, check Visa Information at website: http://www.mvcr.cz/mvcren/article/information-for-schools-and-students.aspx?q=Y2hudW09NQ%3d%3d

Student/s are required to take out a travel health insurance in accordance with the insurance regulations of the Czech Republic, which must be valid for the entire period of their stay in the Czech Republic.

Students with a visa are obliged to take out a Comprehensive Health Insurance for Foreigners, valid for the entry to the CZ.

 

5. STUDIES:

We offer course modules, that allow your students to design their study plan according to their subject requirements.

In addition to their studies, these modules also provide the opportunity for your students to undertake a teaching placement in a school  (primary, secondary).

Please, see the attached list of the Faculty of Education´s course modules, which are taught in English (partly in German, French and Russian).

Your students can also choose courses of other faculties, then the host faculty, but they must keep the rule of 75% enrolled courses in the host faculty.

Please, refer to the Course Catalogue below OR in this section!

Note: Number of credits and courses enrolled, depends on demands/conditions of your home (i.e. sending) institution.

Kind reminder: Please, pay attention to what faculty you wish to study at. EACH FACULTY of the University of Hradec Kralove has its own nomination procedure with its own forms and deadlines.
