Short Study Visit Programme ("Free movers")
The Short Study Visit Programme is designed to give international students an opportunity to visit FSV UK on an informal basis (as "freemovers"). Short Study Visits are available at all five of the Faculty's institutes. A large number of our courses are taught in English, French or German.
Visits may be arranged for one or two semesters, according to the applicant's own preferences.
You can get acquainted with our Institutes, find a suitable study programme or a supervisor here.

Access to Classes
You are welcome to attend any classes, even from our Bachelor or Master Degree programmes. However, you cannot enrol as degree student without undergoing a regular admission process and paying school fees.
Visa and Residence Permit
If you are a citizen of an EU or an EFTA country you do not need to apply for a visa. It is enough for you to register with the Czech Immigration Police within 30 days after your arrival (this is a legal requirement).
Students from non-EU or non-EFTA countries who wish to stay in the Czech Republic for more than 90 days, need a student visa. This includes students from EU candidate countries. In some cases, it may also include foreign nationals who are currently resident in another EU country.
