Who provides support and funding?
International mobility at the level of the Prague University of Economics and Business is under the patronage of the Foreign Relations Department. You can find information on all forms of mobility on their website. However, they are mainly tasked with the ERASMUS exchange programmes, which are governed by unified rules. The department provides administrative and information support for this type of stay as well as financing from the ERASMUS programme funds or from the Prague University of Economics and Business funds.
The decisions on other forms of trips, the setting of rules and funding are within the full responsibility of the faculties of the Prague University of Economics and Business. The Vice-Dean for Development and External Relations at the Faculty of Management is responsible for the foreign stays agenda. The coordinator of the exchange trips is tasked with related organizational and administrative matters and provides information support to students.
Also involved to a limited extent is the Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs, who decides on the eligibility of enrolled subjects related to student mobility (exchange study trips, Freemover, and Summer school), and who signs the so-called Learning Agreement (exchange study stay). In the case of a professional internship, the student deals with organizational issues, including drafting contracts with the guarantor / lecturer of the 61PXE0 / 6BPRX1 or 62PXE0 / 6MPRX1 courses.
Where can I find more information?
The main source of information is the website of the VŠE International Office. All relevant information can be found on this website including the funding rules valid for the Faculty of Management.
Students who have already taken a trip abroad will share with you their experiences gained abroad at this website. You can find their feedback and pictures from abroad. The next option is to join the Facebook group called “International Study Trips of the Faculty of Management”. Moreover, the faculty annually organizes the International Days during which students present their experiences from abroad.
Promoting the faculty abroad
The Faculty of Management encourages and supports students to travel abroad, and in return, requests that students promote and present the school to the best of their abilities. Students can make most of the special events for foreign students organized by foreign schools, various social events, as well as informal meetings with other students and academic staff.
