Opening a Study Abroad Competition Within the framework of the Erasmus programme
The Dean's advisory board of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University has opened a competition for studies abroad within the framework of EU Socrates/Erasmus for the academic year 2003/2004.
The main criteria are outstanding study results, sufficient language capacity and a desirable study aim.
The list of associate universities, students can apply for, is referred to in the chart.
All full-time study and postgraduate students of our Faculty who comply with the qualification criteria determined by the Chancellor's Office of Charles University, specified in the appendix, can enter the competition.
The selective board appointed by the Dean of the Faculty has the final decsion upon including a student to the studies.
The studies abroad an the integral part of University studies and substitute partially for the studies at the home faculty, i.e. they cannot lead to a prolongation of the studies.
Studies abroad will be implemented in the form of an individual study plan.
Postgraduate students are expected to use this stay for working on their thesis.
Postgraduate students are offered 3 contract places (University in Graz and Karolinska Institute) i.e. these places cannot be offered to undergraduate students, and on the contrary it is possible to arrange and finance – when agreed – other study places on one condition and that is confirmation that the student will be admitted to work on a prepared programme during his stay. It is possible to assign the Erasmus grant just once during the studies.
Language capability must be supported by a corresponding certificate which can be substituted by an examination at the Department of Languages at our Faculty where you can receive a certificate for English, German and French. English is sufficient also for studies in Italy, Sweden and Norway but candidates who master the teaching language will be given a proirity. Other students have to get through an intensive language course (IPLC) before the start of their studies. The terms of examinations at the Department of Languages will be announced in time at the Department of Studies and on the web sites.
