It is possible to apply for further scholarship support under the Erasmus+ Scholarship Programme 3.A - Support for mobility of Erasmus+ students. The purpose of the programme is to support the international mobility of Erasmus+ students. The scholarship is intended for the financing of living costs and travel expenses associated with a stay abroad in selected European countries. Mobility is defined as a study or work placement abroad of at least 60 days.

The scholarship must be applied for at least 40 days before departure!

Within the framework of the scholarship programme 3.B - Support for study stays and practical internships outside the Erasmus+ programme. The aim of the scholarship programme is to motivate students to undertake stays in foreign institutions that are directly related to the subject of study (project, research project, grant, etc.) and thanks to which they will deepen their academic competences or practical experience. The programme offers financial support for the placement.

The scholarship is paid upon return on the basis of submitted evidence of real costs to a bank account in CZK at any bank in the Czech Republic. It is possible to apply for an advance payment of up to 80% of the approved amount.

The study stay is implemented only on the basis of valid contracts concluded between the relevant department of the Faculty of Arts of MU and the foreign institution.
A list of contracts concluded at the Faculty of Arts can be found on the website:
