Students can apply to maximum of 2 universities.
The faculty nominates candidates who were pre-selected in the faculty-level selection procedure to the university-wide selection procedure at CU Rectorate, which makes the final decision on behalf of Charles University. The application of the selected student is then forwarded to the host university, which makes the final decision regarding the acceptance of the nominated candidate.
Please note: There might be special visa requirements depending on the visiting country. You might pay extra for visa fees, health insurance, etc., so make sure that you have sufficient funds to cover all of your expenses (abroad as well as upon your return). There are no additional grants at the Faculty of Humanities and you won't be excused from paying the tuition fees at the Faculty. Most of the countries are more expensive than the Czech Republic, therefore we advise you to have sufficient savings.
