Areas of study open to exchange students

All nominated students will receive a list of courses taught in English available for the academic year. According to the rules of Charles University, Erasmus students should take at least 51 % of their courses (or earn the same number of credits) at the Faculty where they were nominated to.

Courses from other Faculties can be searched also via our online system SIS: here

It is not possible to include sports courses on your learning agreement because the Board of Examiners will not approve these courses.

Please keep this in mind, as we will not be able to sign your learning agreement if you do.

Language requirements

Language requirement: a minimum of a B2 language level (CEFR) in English/language of instruction is required. You have to submit proof of this language proficiency upon your application at the host university.

Language of instructions: Mainly English; each faculty also offers a variety of courses and seminars in other foreign languages, e.g. Czech, German and French.
