If you are going to graduate and wish to also exercise the option of going abroad, you can apply for an Erasmus+ graduate practical internship. Internships are organised by the Educa International consortium.
- A practical internship is defined as assistance/work for a university or other institution abroad (company, organisation, self-employed person, etc.), which should have some connection with the field studied at the Charles University Faculty of Arts – an internship does not include research or study in any form.
- The option of an outgoing graduate internship is open to all students of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University who have not yet graduated, are properly enrolled for study and have a sufficient number of days left to use Erasmus.
- Students can perform internships in any country participating in the Erasmus+ programme, except the Czech Republic.
- Students can go abroad for a graduate practical internship for a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 12 months. This period of time must not be exceeded when on Erasmus. The length of other Erasmus+ stays that the student has already completed in the given study programme must be taken into account (max. 360 days in a single study cycle).
- NOTE: Until the end of the 2024/25 academic year EDUCA shall provide scholarships for a maximum period of six months.
- Students are required to take out ERAPO insurance: https://educaops.eu/cs/pojisteni/
- Scholarship amount
Students who fail to fulfil all the obligations specified in the Participation Agreement for their previous trip are not permitted to apply for the subsequent selection procedure.
