Exchange Students

Central international office of Masaryk University - Office for International Studies (OIS) administers most of exchange programs and schemes. If your exchange stay is arranged via Erasmus Mundus Action II (EM2), ISEP, university-wide bilateral agreements, etc. then you will find full information under following links. You should be already selected by your university to apply. Each exchange program or scheme has a whole-university coordinator or coordinators, and they will be glad to answer your questions.

Via the links above, you will find information how to apply and arrange your stay. And in the menu, you find other useful articles, and some practicalities. The Faculty of Social Studies International Office (contact below) is also glad to answer any questions you might have about social sciences.

Important - choice of courses: Please, keep in mind that it is recommended that you register (and fill in in your Learning Agreement) at least 50% of your courses here should correspond to the discipline(s) you study at home. Other social science courses are also open to you too - you can choose classes according to your interests from the Faculty of Social Studies offer, or some from the whole Masaryk University offer (if you speak Slavonic languages, you might try Czech-taught classes too, and courses in other languages). See the links at the end of this page for details.

In case you come via our Faculty-specific bilateral agreement, then please write to the International Office at the Faculty of Social Studies. Our staff will arrange all the details with you, send you letter of acceptance and assist you with the visa procedure and other practicalities.

Basically, if you are not pre-selected by your home university on the basis of some exchange or hosting scheme, our departments evaluate the following materials. Again, contact the Faculty International Office via its email int@fss.muni.cz and send us:

  • Transcript of Records
If the relevant department agrees with your stay, we will send you letter of acceptance and help you to arrange the:
  • Learning Agreement
  • Residence Permit (or visa), if necessary
