The first step is to submit an application for the faculty Erasmus+ competition (the application forms are available in the FORMS section).

The competition for the 2026/2027 academic year will take place on Thursday, February 26, 2026, in the meeting rooms of the Dean's Office of the First Faculty of Medicine (entrance to the building from Na Bojišti Street, doors 2109 and 2111):

• at 12:00 p.m. for non-medical fields (addictology, physiotherapy and occupational therapy)

• at 13:30 p.m. for students of general and dental medicine

You will receive the exact time of your interview by email approximately one week prior to the competition.

You can apply for a study stay, a practical internship, or both types of stays. You can list up to three foreign universities in order of preference on your application. You can apply for the winter or summer semester or the entire academic year (if permitted by the bilateral agreement).

In the PARTNER UNIVERSITIES section, you will find tables with offers of stays abroad. The number of months listed is the maximum length of stay permitted by the bilateral agreement; the minimum length is 2 months.

Please carefully review the website of the university you are interested in to find out whether their course offerings will meet your requirements/expectations (the specific semester, not just the academic year, also plays a role) and whether you meet the language requirements of the host institution (some universities require a certificate).

For information and inspiration check out the Charles Abroad mobility database Web O Studentském Cestování | Charles Abroad, where you will find practical information from your peer students.

Traineeships can also be undertaken at institutions with which we do not have a bilateral agreement, i.e., at any institution within the European Union, with the exception of institutions directly funded by EU sources. The internship involves working for a foreign institution for approximately 40 hours per week. Traineeships are not tied to the academic year schedule – parts of them can be completed during the summer holidays, for example.

In the case of mobilities to a "non-partner" institution, students should have the internship arranged in advance at the time of application and attach preliminary email consent to the application.

Traineeships can be found, for example, here: ERASMUSINTERN ||

Submit your signed application to the International Office of the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University (2nd floor, door 2057) in person or by email to Anna Jezberová (anna.jezberova@lf1.cuni.cz).

• Applications must be submitted between December 15th 2025 and February 6th 2026.

Before submitting your application, please carefully check the website of the foreign university to see if and by when they require a language certificate. Do not apply to a university where you do not meet the language requirements.

The Committee of LF1 evaluates applicants according to the following criteria:

- Academic average (50% of the evaluation):

For general and dental medicine students the academic average in the last two completed years of study.

- Language and professional level at interview (25%):

The interview is carried in the language of instruction of your first preferred university.

- Professional activities beyond the study requirements (25%):

In case of a combination of several activities, the highest ranked activity will be counted, the other activities will be applied with a reduced coefficient:

· Scientific activity linked to the presentation of results, scientific activity not yet concluded with the presentation of results, lecturing or demonstrator activity within the faculty

· Activity in the Faculty's organisational units (Academic Senate, Dean's Collegium, contribution to the writing of the Wikiskript)

· Active participation in interest groups of individual disciplines, main coordinating activity in student associations and organizations

The results of the audition will be published on the faculty's website in the News and „Erasmus+ News and events“ section several days after the audition. Each student must confirm (by email to anna.jezberova@lf1.cuni.cz) his/her approval with the study stay/traineeship together with the chosen semester within one week from the result of the audition.

Only after you have received an email confirmation that your nomination has been sent to the foreign university, you should create your application in webapps and then follow the steps described on the website of the European Office of the Rectorate of Charles University.

If the candidate is unable to attend the audition due to serious, especially health reasons, his/her inability to attend the audition must be specifically certified. In such cases the candidate will be allowed to attend an individual interview on an alternative date.

Repeated foreign stays within the Erasmus+ programme are possible.

The maximum lengths allowed for Erasmus stays are:

• 12 months at each level of study in the case of study programs divided into three cycles (Bc., Mgr., Ph.D.)
• 24 months in the case of long master study programs for 5 or 6 years, but at the level of Ph.D. it's only 12 months.
