General Information

The difference between Study Mobility and Traineeship Mobility

  • Study Mobility: preparation of dissertation, consultation, visit the library, etc.

  • Traineeship Mobility: practical internships are specific in that their content is not directly focused on writing your dissertation. It is necessary to perform specific work/tasks for the receiving institution.

Who can apply?

  • at the start of the mobility, the student must be enrolled in the 4th year of the doctoral study program at the latest

  • the student must be enrolled in the given study programme at FHS for the duration of their traineeship abroad


Please note: when planning your mobility, it is also necessary to plan the fulfillment of your study obligations at FHS, so that by the time you start your mobility you have properly fulfilled all your study obligations in the given section of your studies.

The mobility does not entitle to postpone your study obligations prescribed by your ISP for the given academic year.

  • short-term traineeship mobilities may be completed at any institution / organization in an Erasmus+ programme country with the exception of EU bodies, institutions and other EU entities, including specialized agencies and organizations, that lead EU programmes (e.g. national agencies of Erasmus+).

Responsibilities after the mobility

According to the Dean's Measure No. 10/2017, it is compulsory to record all internships abroad in the SIS. Internships must be registered in the SIS at least one week before the departure, but it will be highly appreciated if you do it much earlier. After return, we will need the signed and stamped Confirmation of Study / Research Period. You have to get the document signed at the very end of your stay because it serves as a confirmation that you have been physically present at the institution for the entire duration of the planned stay (see the data you entered in the SIS).
