Rules for Funding Foreign Mobility of Students from the Faculty of Management

The Faculty of Management supports students from scholarship funds during their travel abroad. The student’s request for funding is forwarded to the Scholarship Commission of the Faculty of Management via the Vice-Dean for Development and External Relations. The funds are usually paid to students before their travel and after their return.

The request for funding before travel abroad does not involve a formal procedure; it is enough if the student sends an e-mail with the following information:

• Form of travelling abroad
• Name of the foreign school or organization providing the professional internship
• Destination country
• Exact departure date (from – to)
• The required attachments are:
  • Exchange stay: Signed Learning Agreement by the Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs
  • Professional internship: Signed Learning Agreement or Training Agreement by the guarantor / lecturer of the 61PXE0 / 6BPRX1 or 62PXE0 / 6MPRX1 courses
  • Other forms of mobility: Confirmation of admission to a foreign school or summer school (e.g. Letter of Acceptance), confirmation of enrolled subjects with the stated number of credits.

The support is in the form of a scholarship, which is paid to the student as a one-off payment and is a fixed amount irrespective of the length of the stay. The amount depends on the type of mobility and the destination country (the country of mobility) in the appropriate cost group. The payment is forwarded to the account number listed in InSIS. Therefore, the student should check its accuracy.

Upon return from a foreign trip, the student may request additional support of 2500 CZK. This is conditioned by a written report summarising their experience from the travel abroad. The report must include the student’s consent to the processing of personal data and pictures, and consent to engage in the promotional activities of the faculty. Subject to the GDPR regulation, this must also be signed. A signature can also be attached electronically by inserting the signature image into the appropriate field. Another option is to manually attach the signature and subsequently scan and send the report.

Students of the faculty also have an opportunity to obtain other funds to compensate for their efforts and to pay the costs associated with obtaining a language certificate. The condition for payment of this form of support is to achieve a minimum B2 level, which is necessary for participation in the selection procedure for exchange study stays. The achievement of the appropriate language level is verified according to the tables available here.

The amount of scholarship associated with obtaining a language certificate depends on the language level achieved.

• In the case of level B2, it is equal to the demonstrable costs of obtaining the certificate up to a maximum level of 5000 CZK per language certificate.
• In the case of level C1, it is equal to the demonstrable costs of obtaining the certificate up to a maximum level of 6000 CZK per language certificate.

Students can also participate in a photo competition on the social networks of the Faculty of Management. Top-ranked photos are rewarded in the form of a scholarship according to the competition rules.

Students can also receive support from the faculty’s funds for activities related to sharing their experiences from foreign trips, e.g. by organising lectures for other faculty students, preparing an exhibition on student mobility, etc.

The Faculty of Management endeavours to encourage foreign mobility and to assist students as much as possible. However, it should be noted that this form of support is not an entitlement and may change over the course of the year. It must also be emphasised that faculty resources are limited and the amount of support provided is unlikely to cover all the expenses related to foreign mobility.
