Guide for doctoral students going abroad

Doctoral students can go abroad for study or research stays through the Erasmus+ program or thanks to individual agreements. All you need to do is agree with your supervisor and partner university, contact the faculty Erasmus+ coordinator, and start the process through the Mobility application.

In addition to Erasmus, other support is also available – a one-time scholarship from the CTU Fund or the FA CTU Mobility Fund.
