BILATERAL INTERNATIONAL TREATIES (MEYS SCHOLARSHIPS)

BILATERAL INTERNATIONAL TREATIES (MEYS SCHOLARSHIPS)

Charles University supports student mobility on the basis of international treaties, i.e. treaties signed by the Czech Republic with a number of countries worldwide. These scholarships are also known as the Ministry of Education and sport (MEYS) scholarships.

The treaties offer the possibility for students or graduates and Ph.D. candidates (exceptionally for academic staff members) from public universities of the countries concerned to undertake study periods at higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. 

The period of scholarship usually ranges from 2 to 10 months. Scholarships may be awarded repeatedly to the same recipients, provided that they submit a renewed application for the following academic year and are selected by the appropriate authorities in their home countries. 

We would like to inform all applicants that scholarships at Charles University cannot be awarded to students who apply for a full-time degree study program (it must be one or two semesters only).

APPLICATION PROCESS

If you wish to apply for a MEYS scholarship, once you choose Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, as your exchange programme destination, please follow the steps below:

1) Check on the list here if your country offers scholarships based on a bilateral agreement with the Czech Republic. 

2) Request a preliminary acceptance letter.

Although it is not usually listed among obligatory attachments to the application form, the submission of a preliminary acceptance letter is recommended, since it can simplify and expedite the admission procedure. 

Please contact the International Office (inbound@fsv.cuni.cz) and ask for a preliminary acceptance letter. Attach to your request the following documents, on the basis of which your acceptance will be evaulated:

  • CV
  • Motivation Letter
  • Your preliminary study plan
  • The transcript of records of your achieved education
  • Certificate of your English level (not compulsory, but recommended)

Academic staff members are required to attach a letter of invitation to their applications.

3) Submit your application at the appropriate authorities in your country. Applications sent directly to the Czech MEYS by individual applicants will not be processed.

Information about requested documents and deadlines are available on the MEYS website.
