[obsah] => The University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague) works continuously to deepen its international integration. It actively supports international cooperation in the field of education, science, and research, both with European and non-European partners.
UCT Prague considers international cooperation in research and the educational field to be a necessary condition for maintaining and further developing the level of these areas. Student mobilities, both outward and inward, the creation and implementation of joint study programs and the internationalization of other areas of university life create an inspiring environment at UCT Prague, in which new stimuli are created for improving the level and forms and methods of teaching our students, for improving conditions for studies, for the development of the activities of students and academic staff and the expansion of all forms of international cooperation. Similarly, international contacts in the field of science and research are also a source for the development of UCT Prague's science and research activities.
The cornerstones of international activities are inter-institutional cooperation agreements, joint study programs with foreign universities, mobility of students and employees within the Erasmus+ program and other international programs, and international scientific and research projects.
International cooperation of UCT Prague is coordinated by the Department of International Relations in cooperation with the Project Centre and Research and Technology Transfer Office and the relevant vice-rectors.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Overview of an international student or employee mobility programs in which UCT Prague is involved:
 |
PRIDE Network |
| Professionals in Doctoral Education - an association focused on the professional development of administrative staff and academics who support or ensure the doctoral education agenda. This includes in particular the management and employees of doctoral schools or other supporting organizational units that ensure the course of doctoral studies and the personal and professional development of young researchers and their supervisors. VŠCHT became a member in July 2022. |
 |
EUA-CDE |
| The EUA Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE) was established in 2008 at the initiative of the European University Association in response to the growing interest in doctoral education and research training in Europe. An integral part of the European University Association is now the largest European network in this field, which includes more than 267 universities and institutions dealing with issues of doctoral education and training in research in 37 countries. By promoting cooperation and the exchange of best practices among its members and by disseminating the results of its work, EUA-CDE contributes significantly to the development of doctoral education and training in research in Europe. VŠCHT became a member in October 2022. |

ERAMUS+ is a mobility programme, that promotes international cooperation between universities, students and teachers. Supports education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.
Thinking about studying abroad?
UT Prague offers a lot of possibilities. Look at the student experience and start your planning according to the guidance provided here. Get ready for your desired study stay abroad and learn more about the necessary administration.
Who can join?
To the UCT partner university. The list is available here. If you intend to study at a university that is not our partner, please get in touch with outgoing@vscht.cz to learn more.
Your scholarship funding will be provided in EUR. To avoid losing much from money transfers, get yourself a EUR account. The received financial support differs from destination and length of stay.
The list of Partner Institutions has been UPDATED on 29/02/2024.
The next call for study stays in the academic year 2024/2025:
8th March 2024 deadline of the major call - for study stay in winter or summer semmester 2024/2025.
27th September 2024 deadline of the additional call - only for the spots remaining in the summer semester 2025.
The link leads you to the list of partner universities. Pay attention to the field (used codes: ISCED-F Code search) and level of study (6= BSP, 7=MSP, 8=DSP). In case you intend to study at a university that is not our partner, please contact outgoing@vscht.cz to find out more.
Search the website of the chosen university for the catalogue of courses for Erasmus/Exchange students and find out how they suit your study plan.
|
Check whether the university offers foreign students an exchange stay in a language you master and whether the courses (subjects) you find in their catalogue of courses for Erasmus/Exchange students suit your study plan. Find out if the university has its own procedure and application forms (online application), if so, follow its instructions. Read the final reports from students visiting the same University in previous years at Student Experience. |
Learning Agreement for Studies - Before the Mobility. Fill in the yellow parts. For a successful application, this document must be signed by you and the faculty coordinator (look below). Other signatures will be added after a successful selection interview. Application deadlines are in the Schedule Box.
It is necessary to enrol courses at partner institutions for at least 25ECTS/semester and find at least 1 eligible course here at UCT. In case you struggle, contact the faculty coordinator.
Eligible subjects (subjects to be recognised at UCT) - should be similar to those at the UCT. When you find some eligible subjects, contact the subject guarantor to find out if there is a chance of recognition. Fill in the eligible subjects in the Learning Agreement Before the Mobility (Table B) accordingly.

Rules for recognition of credit courses from abroad: 1. Any course (at the same study level) from a foreign university may be recognized as an optional course (recognized by the Dean's Office). 2. A course with an overlap in the syllabus with a course in the student's study plan may be recognized as a compulsory or compulsory-optional course (assessed by the course guarantor). 3. A course from a foreign university that fits the graduate's profile but does not have an equivalent in the student's study plan, may be recognised as a compulsory-optional course (assessed by the study programme guarantor). Additional remarks: 1. The Final State Exam topic areas in compliance with the approved accreditation, do not in any way change in case the student has requested a recognition of a UCT Prague course covering an FSE topic area (usually the compulsory or compulsory-optional course). I.e. in case the recognized course(s) does not fully cover the FSE topic area, it still will be a part of the FSE, and the student himself/herself is responsible for filling in any missing knowledge of the topic area. |
Fill in the online application form:
Enclose these documents:
1. Language Certificate in the language of your intended study (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge ESOL). !Students studying UCT full-time in English do NOT need to prove their language proficiency.
In case you do not have any language certificate yet, apply for a language test at Ústav Jazyků (UCT Department of Languages).
2. Learning Agreement for Studies - Before the Mobility. When applying, you can enclose 3 different Learning Agreements for Studies - Before the Mobility to the 3 different destinations.
We do not recommend to have only one choice. It is highly recommended to have a backup plan in case other students are more successful and all places are taken. Changes in the destination after the selection interview are not possible.
After the application deadline, you will be invited to a selection interview. Here you will get the chance to introduce your plan and motivation for studying abroad. Your application details and information provided during the interview are assessed and transformed into points.

There is often one more, additional Call in autumn, but this is something you should not rely on. There might be financial limitations or the universities already unavailable. Furthermore, due to administrative reasons, the only option left would be to go on the summer semester. No sooner.
Definitely search for more than one, your the most favourite one. It is always good to have a backup plan in case your dreamy university is unavailable due to a high number of applicants.
!When applying, you can upload up to 3 Learning Agreements Before Mobility - which means, you can be prepared for 3 different options when on selection interview!
It either shows that you are really willing to go abroad and that you are capable of responsible and solid planning. On the other hand, we are aware, that sometimes it is truly difficult to find at least one good match to your study plan. All of this is taken into consideration when accessing your application.
Before making the final decision, you will ask the vice-dean coordinator for confirming your application (Learning Agreement Before Mobilities). Do not hesitate to contact them earlier in case you are not sure about your study plan.
In case you still prefer to go even when your stay does not match well with your study plan, consider prolonging your studies and discuss such an option with the dean's office. But never forget - to study 25 ECTS with at least one eligible subject is a must.
When planning your study, you have chosen a subject in the summary of 25 ECTS from which you are obliged to bring min. 15 ECTS and one subject of recognition (eligible).
Magister (Bachelor) students are obliged to fulfil their student duties during their stay abroad.
Only if you go for a traineeship into an institution, that is NOT our partner university (see the list here), you will apply for Traineeship (Learning Agreement for Traineeship - LA) and find yourself a subject, that will be fulfilled as a part of your study duties. Filled in part B2 in the LA.
If you plan to go to our partner university, you will be applying for Study abroad, and the subject to study will be either "International Traineeship" for 2 - 3 ECTS or Project A for 30 ECTS, Project B for 15 ECTS or Project C for10ECTS. If the traineeship is meant to be as work on your diploma thesis, then you will fulfil the "diploma thesis" which corresponds to Project A for 30 ECTS.
Please fill in the planned communication with the hosting supervisor, how and with whom you plan to consult your work during your traineeship abroad, how often, etc...
Please fill in who is going to assess and evaluate your work and how the result of your work is to be used. Could be the publishing of an article, part of an ongoing project and cooperation with colleagues abroad, the start of a new project etc...

Courage! And having a little ability to get things done was enough to get me to spend six months abroad. If I had known how great this period would be, I probably would have left for Erasmus after my first year and no one would have stopped me from going abroad. Choosing Vienna was strategic because I didn't want to be far from the Czech Republic and I wanted to practice my German. But what I was incredibly lucky for was a university that is way ahead in teaching. Such an equal and discussive approach of the teachers was incomparable, a completely different form of teaching than I was used to. Maybe that's why I actually went to school and didn't party the whole semester, as they say about Erasmus. Eventually, my study enthusiasm also led me to a 2-week summer school in Israel about the food of the future. And admittedly, Israel was a much stronger experience as it has a completely different culture that cannot be described in a few lines. But the mixture of different religions, historic Jerusalem or progressive Tel Aviv along with the desert and the Dead Sea (see photo) left strong memories in me. Who would have thought that the week starts on Sunday!? And to confirm my words that foreign trips are perfect, I decided to continue at BOKU and work on my thesis here, so cheers to (your and my) Erasmus!
Sun, coffee, adventure
That's how I would describe my stay in the capital of Portugal. Going somewhere for a holiday and living there are two different things, but you won't find out until you decide to do it. Portugal is specific to its southern culture, which is adorned with cheap delicious coffee, the ocean, ball games, surf and nightlife. Erasmus gives you the chance to know this and experience it all. Wherever you go, it's an adventure that can't be replaced by anything else. It has pushed me incredibly humanly. I've had time to stop and think about where I want to go in life. When else but now, when you have relatively zero commitments ? You will never find 4-5 months of free time in the future that someone will contribute to. You'll catch up with your career/study, you'll make money, but time, well, that's hard to find and there will always be something that gets in the way. Pick up and go - it's worth it!
Erasmus is a unique opportunity and experience that will push you further and broaden your horizons, I am sure. Lots of red tape at the beginning, but it's worth it. Whatever your expectation is you will definitely meet a lot of new people, get to know a new culture, and make tremendous friendships.
I must recommend Oulu and Finland. Even before you arrive, they will help you with the necessary documents, and during your stay, everything works perfectly and there is always someone to turn to. Also, the standard of the school is very high, and international students are welcome in Oulu and the school is ready for them.
I could go on and on about the school, my friends, the sauna, nature, the reindeer around the roads, the husky safari, the black market with bikes and there is so much more. But it's much better to experience it all for yourself. Don't keep looking for excuses and go!!!
Erasmus in Jena (Germany, the federal state of Thuringia) was a great experience for me. Of course, it involved a lot of preparation, but it was worth it. I got to experience studying at a prestigious German university and, most importantly, I met a lot of new friends. Jena is a small, pleasant university town that is only a 5-hour Flixbus ride away from Prague. It's a very multicultural city, so even though I was "only" in Germany, I made friends from all over the world.
I spent one unforgettable semester beyond the Arctic Circle in Tromsø, Norway. A great school was not only studying at a foreign university but also learning about life there. What is it like to live in the dark during the polar night and watch the aurora borealis overhead? How does it feel to cross-country ski all the way to school? Put on snowshoes, go to the mountains and sleep in a mountain hut? And what if the polar day comes and the sun never goes to sleep? And many other questions that I wouldn't know the answer to without Erasmus. The best part is that I was able to experience everything with friends from all over the world, and I dare to say that not only the experiences but also these people, I will carry on in my life.
My stay abroad was definitely worth all of the arrangements and stress that preceded my departure. I still benefit from the knowledge and the skills that I gained during my Erasmus. Not to mention the unforgettable experiences and friendships I made. At the Royal Institute of Technology, courses were conducted in an interactive format, with an emphasis on individual and practical work. In addition to the education, the school organized a lot of activities where it was possible to learn about Sweden culture and establish connections with other international students. Sweden is a beautiful country with a specific weather and human mentality, I definitely recommend it to everyone.
It is probably impossible to describe such an intense experience in a few lines. It's been the best six months of my life. It was so different from my life back home in Prague, and it made everything here a much better experience - finding my way around the city, finding a classroom at school, enrolling in classes, meeting new people, travelling, learning languages, and so much more. Stockholm, and Sweden in general, has shattered all my stereotypes. The people are not closed and cold. Everyone was helpful, and the THS (Student Club) was constantly coming up with new activities for us...
I wouldn't change it. And for you who are hesitating -
Go, go anywhere, you'll be thrilled!
ESCOM is a French university specialising in chemistry. You can find it in a cosy town, Compiègne, about 45 minutes by train from Paris. What I liked a lot about Compiègne was the perfect balance between the quiet and lazy atmosphere of a little town and the youthful joy typical for places with a big number of students. Visits to beautiful castles in the vicinity, multiple trips to Paris, cycling in beautiful nature, delicious food and much more were the things I enjoyed during my Erasmus program. I am also very grateful for the opportunity to see another approach to education, which was more practical and teamwork-oriented than what I am used to in Czechia. For example, I participated in a project popularizing environmental protection.
„As you do it for yourself, so you have it“ and this works twice regarding Erasmus. For everyone, Erasmus is a bit different, but it always results in new friends and experiences for a lifetime. For example, during my 10 months in Valencia, I managed to learn how to cook a Valencian paella (the only real one), walked through the city in traditional costume during las fallas, learnt to dance salsa and bachata, walked under palm trees in January wearing only a t-shirt, spoke about Czechia in primary school, and presented our team's project in Spanish to a whole class of native Spanish speakers better than some of them (their words, not mine). Erasmus just pulls you out of your everyday life and drops you in a completely unknown place where you can be anyone and do anything. And even though now I must extend my studies for a year, I don't regret that year in the slightest. I've enjoyed every day to the fullest, I've experienced and seen things I’ve never dreamed of, and I've come back a different person. And I know that from now on, Valencia will always be my second home.
Vienna is a very international and vibrant city. It was named the best city to live in this year and I can confirm that. The beginning of Erasmus was full of paperwork, but the foreign department of BOKU (Universität für Bodenkultur Wien) and other Erasmus students are willing to help with everything. In addition to many English and German courses, the university also offers many language courses, tandem learning, excursions, movie evenings with discussions, bonding activities for students, demonstrations, or, for example, its own Pride Parade group. Overall, BOKU is very open-minded and focused on sustainability and ecology. So, if someone is interested in such topics, they will feel great at BOKU and Vienna.
Do you want to know how time flies? Go on Erasmus! Half a year or maybe even a year in a foreign country sounds like a great amount of time one cannot survive. I can guarantee that not only it is survivable, but time will pass so fast that one day, you are slipping on ice in the streets of Tallinn and suddenly, it is June, and you find yourself lying on the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea. This is basically how I look at my Erasmus experience a few months after my return. It was five months of incredible fun, experiences, and meeting friends from all around the world. The “Should I go on Erasmus?” part was exhausting but I finally also know the “I went on Erasmus, and it was amazing” one and I could not be more grateful.
Erasmus in Tromsø is a lifelong love, it was a huge personal benefit for me. Thanks to living with my partner and UiT Norwegian students, with whom I felt like family after one week, I felt as if I had lived in Norway normally for a long time, I didn't even feel like a foreigner. Studying at UiT is perfect. Norway is widely known to have quality education, but the attitude of professors and people, in general, is much more important. Norwegians are kind people who always talk to you personally, I haven't met anyone who didn't smile at me. I chose Tromso because of its location in the polar region. Steep mountains rising straight from the fjords, where you can go skiing after school, omnipresent reindeer, a reserve full of special birds that you can meet even on the mountain tops, whales, the aurora borealis, the polar day... Winter and summer in Tromsø are unforgettable experiences. People live there with love and in harmony with nature. I don't know what more to wish for.
Tromsø isn't only about school and improving your English. Norwegians value the balance between work and leisure, so there is always plenty of room for adventure. And there is truly a lot to do around there. Skiing, breaking through the snow and watching the Northern Lights in winter, and on the other hand, hiking to see amazing views under the midnight sun in summer. You just have to deal with the reindeer on the roads and pack some vitamin D. God tur!
Be adventurous, open-minded, enthusiastic and curious. Ask a lot of questions and don’t be afraid to jump into the unknown. That’s how you learn more about yourself, the qualities and skills you possess and others. The subject of my traineeship was Gemstones Identification. I was working in a Gemology lab identifying coloured gemstones, by using gemological instruments and measuring the optical properties, refractive index, shape, colour, inclusions, specific gravity, and transparency of the gemstones I was given. My work was independent after my supervisor introduced me and showed me what I was supposed to do during my training. Also, when I needed help, there was a gemology master’s student in the lab and she was helping me whenever I needed some assistance. KU International Office organizes a lot of activities for international exchange students mostly. The accommodation was provided by the international student’s accommodation office at Kasetsart University. On the campus, there is a swimming pool, tennis courts, volleyball fields, a gym and two football stadiums. Also, a lot of student bars restaurants, and coffee shops. Or you can always get outside the campus and use the fast sky train called BTS to get to the centre of Bangkok or anywhere you want to go in the city. Would I like to go to another stay abroad? Yes, definitely!

The Final State Exam topic areas in compliance with the approved accreditation, do not in any way change in case the student has requested a recognition of a UCT Prague course covering an FSE topic area (usually the compulsory or compulsory-optional course). I.e. in case the recognized course(s) does not fully cover the FSE topic area, it still will be a part of the FSE, and the student himself/herself is responsible for filling in any missing knowledge of the topic area. |

1. Language Certificate in the language of your intended study (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge ESOL). !Students studying UCT full-time in English do NOT need to prove their language proficiency.
In case you do not have any language certificate yet, apply for a language test at Ústav Jazyků (UCT Department of Languages).
2. Learning Agreement for Studies - Before the Mobility. When applying, you can enclose 3 different Learning Agreements for Studies - Before the Mobility to the 3 different destinations.
We do not recommend to have only one choice. It is highly recommended to have a backup plan in case other students are more successful and all places are taken. Changes in the destination after the selection interview are not possible.
After the application deadline, you will be invited to a selection interview. Here you will get the chance to introduce your plan and motivation for studying abroad. Your application details and information provided during the interview are assessed and transformed into points.

There is often one more, additional Call in autumn, but this is something you should not rely on. There might be financial limitations or the universities already unavailable. Furthermore, due to administrative reasons, the only option left would be to go on the summer semester. No sooner.
Definitely search for more than one, your the most favourite one. It is always good to have a backup plan in case your dreamy university is unavailable due to a high number of applicants.
!When applying, you can upload up to 3 Learning Agreements Before Mobility - which means, you can be prepared for 3 different options when on selection interview!
It either shows that you are really willing to go abroad and that you are capable of responsible and solid planning. On the other hand, we are aware, that sometimes it is truly difficult to find at least one good match to your study plan. All of this is taken into consideration when accessing your application.
Before making the final decision, you will ask the vice-dean coordinator for confirming your application (Learning Agreement Before Mobilities). Do not hesitate to contact them earlier in case you are not sure about your study plan.
In case you still prefer to go even when your stay does not match well with your study plan, consider prolonging your studies and discuss such an option with the dean's office. But never forget - to study 25 ECTS with at least one eligible subject is a must.
When planning your study, you have chosen a subject in the summary of 25 ECTS from which you are obliged to bring min. 15 ECTS and one subject of recognition (eligible).
Magister (Bachelor) students are obliged to fulfil their student duties during their stay abroad.
Only if you go for a traineeship into an institution, that is NOT our partner university (see the list here), you will apply for Traineeship (Learning Agreement for Traineeship - LA) and find yourself a subject, that will be fulfilled as a part of your study duties. Filled in part B2 in the LA.
If you plan to go to our partner university, you will be applying for Study abroad, and the subject to study will be either "International Traineeship" for 2 - 3 ECTS or Project A for 30 ECTS, Project B for 15 ECTS or Project C for10ECTS. If the traineeship is meant to be as work on your diploma thesis, then you will fulfil the "diploma thesis" which corresponds to Project A for 30 ECTS.
Please fill in the planned communication with the hosting supervisor, how and with whom you plan to consult your work during your traineeship abroad, how often, etc...
Please fill in who is going to assess and evaluate your work and how the result of your work is to be used. Could be the publishing of an article, part of an ongoing project and cooperation with colleagues abroad, the start of a new project etc...

Courage! And having a little ability to get things done was enough to get me to spend six months abroad. If I had known how great this period would be, I probably would have left for Erasmus after my first year and no one would have stopped me from going abroad. Choosing Vienna was strategic because I didn't want to be far from the Czech Republic and I wanted to practice my German. But what I was incredibly lucky for was a university that is way ahead in teaching. Such an equal and discussive approach of the teachers was incomparable, a completely different form of teaching than I was used to. Maybe that's why I actually went to school and didn't party the whole semester, as they say about Erasmus. Eventually, my study enthusiasm also led me to a 2-week summer school in Israel about the food of the future. And admittedly, Israel was a much stronger experience as it has a completely different culture that cannot be described in a few lines. But the mixture of different religions, historic Jerusalem or progressive Tel Aviv along with the desert and the Dead Sea (see photo) left strong memories in me. Who would have thought that the week starts on Sunday!? And to confirm my words that foreign trips are perfect, I decided to continue at BOKU and work on my thesis here, so cheers to (your and my) Erasmus!
Sun, coffee, adventure
That's how I would describe my stay in the capital of Portugal. Going somewhere for a holiday and living there are two different things, but you won't find out until you decide to do it. Portugal is specific to its southern culture, which is adorned with cheap delicious coffee, the ocean, ball games, surf and nightlife. Erasmus gives you the chance to know this and experience it all. Wherever you go, it's an adventure that can't be replaced by anything else. It has pushed me incredibly humanly. I've had time to stop and think about where I want to go in life. When else but now, when you have relatively zero commitments ? You will never find 4-5 months of free time in the future that someone will contribute to. You'll catch up with your career/study, you'll make money, but time, well, that's hard to find and there will always be something that gets in the way. Pick up and go - it's worth it!
Erasmus is a unique opportunity and experience that will push you further and broaden your horizons, I am sure. Lots of red tape at the beginning, but it's worth it. Whatever your expectation is you will definitely meet a lot of new people, get to know a new culture, and make tremendous friendships.
I must recommend Oulu and Finland. Even before you arrive, they will help you with the necessary documents, and during your stay, everything works perfectly and there is always someone to turn to. Also, the standard of the school is very high, and international students are welcome in Oulu and the school is ready for them.
I could go on and on about the school, my friends, the sauna, nature, the reindeer around the roads, the husky safari, the black market with bikes and there is so much more. But it's much better to experience it all for yourself. Don't keep looking for excuses and go!!!
Erasmus in Jena (Germany, the federal state of Thuringia) was a great experience for me. Of course, it involved a lot of preparation, but it was worth it. I got to experience studying at a prestigious German university and, most importantly, I met a lot of new friends. Jena is a small, pleasant university town that is only a 5-hour Flixbus ride away from Prague. It's a very multicultural city, so even though I was "only" in Germany, I made friends from all over the world.
I spent one unforgettable semester beyond the Arctic Circle in Tromsø, Norway. A great school was not only studying at a foreign university but also learning about life there. What is it like to live in the dark during the polar night and watch the aurora borealis overhead? How does it feel to cross-country ski all the way to school? Put on snowshoes, go to the mountains and sleep in a mountain hut? And what if the polar day comes and the sun never goes to sleep? And many other questions that I wouldn't know the answer to without Erasmus. The best part is that I was able to experience everything with friends from all over the world, and I dare to say that not only the experiences but also these people, I will carry on in my life.
My stay abroad was definitely worth all of the arrangements and stress that preceded my departure. I still benefit from the knowledge and the skills that I gained during my Erasmus. Not to mention the unforgettable experiences and friendships I made. At the Royal Institute of Technology, courses were conducted in an interactive format, with an emphasis on individual and practical work. In addition to the education, the school organized a lot of activities where it was possible to learn about Sweden culture and establish connections with other international students. Sweden is a beautiful country with a specific weather and human mentality, I definitely recommend it to everyone.
It is probably impossible to describe such an intense experience in a few lines. It's been the best six months of my life. It was so different from my life back home in Prague, and it made everything here a much better experience - finding my way around the city, finding a classroom at school, enrolling in classes, meeting new people, travelling, learning languages, and so much more. Stockholm, and Sweden in general, has shattered all my stereotypes. The people are not closed and cold. Everyone was helpful, and the THS (Student Club) was constantly coming up with new activities for us...
I wouldn't change it. And for you who are hesitating -
Go, go anywhere, you'll be thrilled!
ESCOM is a French university specialising in chemistry. You can find it in a cosy town, Compiègne, about 45 minutes by train from Paris. What I liked a lot about Compiègne was the perfect balance between the quiet and lazy atmosphere of a little town and the youthful joy typical for places with a big number of students. Visits to beautiful castles in the vicinity, multiple trips to Paris, cycling in beautiful nature, delicious food and much more were the things I enjoyed during my Erasmus program. I am also very grateful for the opportunity to see another approach to education, which was more practical and teamwork-oriented than what I am used to in Czechia. For example, I participated in a project popularizing environmental protection.
„As you do it for yourself, so you have it“ and this works twice regarding Erasmus. For everyone, Erasmus is a bit different, but it always results in new friends and experiences for a lifetime. For example, during my 10 months in Valencia, I managed to learn how to cook a Valencian paella (the only real one), walked through the city in traditional costume during las fallas, learnt to dance salsa and bachata, walked under palm trees in January wearing only a t-shirt, spoke about Czechia in primary school, and presented our team's project in Spanish to a whole class of native Spanish speakers better than some of them (their words, not mine). Erasmus just pulls you out of your everyday life and drops you in a completely unknown place where you can be anyone and do anything. And even though now I must extend my studies for a year, I don't regret that year in the slightest. I've enjoyed every day to the fullest, I've experienced and seen things I’ve never dreamed of, and I've come back a different person. And I know that from now on, Valencia will always be my second home.
Vienna is a very international and vibrant city. It was named the best city to live in this year and I can confirm that. The beginning of Erasmus was full of paperwork, but the foreign department of BOKU (Universität für Bodenkultur Wien) and other Erasmus students are willing to help with everything. In addition to many English and German courses, the university also offers many language courses, tandem learning, excursions, movie evenings with discussions, bonding activities for students, demonstrations, or, for example, its own Pride Parade group. Overall, BOKU is very open-minded and focused on sustainability and ecology. So, if someone is interested in such topics, they will feel great at BOKU and Vienna.
Do you want to know how time flies? Go on Erasmus! Half a year or maybe even a year in a foreign country sounds like a great amount of time one cannot survive. I can guarantee that not only it is survivable, but time will pass so fast that one day, you are slipping on ice in the streets of Tallinn and suddenly, it is June, and you find yourself lying on the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea. This is basically how I look at my Erasmus experience a few months after my return. It was five months of incredible fun, experiences, and meeting friends from all around the world. The “Should I go on Erasmus?” part was exhausting but I finally also know the “I went on Erasmus, and it was amazing” one and I could not be more grateful.
Erasmus in Tromsø is a lifelong love, it was a huge personal benefit for me. Thanks to living with my partner and UiT Norwegian students, with whom I felt like family after one week, I felt as if I had lived in Norway normally for a long time, I didn't even feel like a foreigner. Studying at UiT is perfect. Norway is widely known to have quality education, but the attitude of professors and people, in general, is much more important. Norwegians are kind people who always talk to you personally, I haven't met anyone who didn't smile at me. I chose Tromso because of its location in the polar region. Steep mountains rising straight from the fjords, where you can go skiing after school, omnipresent reindeer, a reserve full of special birds that you can meet even on the mountain tops, whales, the aurora borealis, the polar day... Winter and summer in Tromsø are unforgettable experiences. People live there with love and in harmony with nature. I don't know what more to wish for.
Tromsø isn't only about school and improving your English. Norwegians value the balance between work and leisure, so there is always plenty of room for adventure. And there is truly a lot to do around there. Skiing, breaking through the snow and watching the Northern Lights in winter, and on the other hand, hiking to see amazing views under the midnight sun in summer. You just have to deal with the reindeer on the roads and pack some vitamin D. God tur!
Be adventurous, open-minded, enthusiastic and curious. Ask a lot of questions and don’t be afraid to jump into the unknown. That’s how you learn more about yourself, the qualities and skills you possess and others. The subject of my traineeship was Gemstones Identification. I was working in a Gemology lab identifying coloured gemstones, by using gemological instruments and measuring the optical properties, refractive index, shape, colour, inclusions, specific gravity, and transparency of the gemstones I was given. My work was independent after my supervisor introduced me and showed me what I was supposed to do during my training. Also, when I needed help, there was a gemology master’s student in the lab and she was helping me whenever I needed some assistance. KU International Office organizes a lot of activities for international exchange students mostly. The accommodation was provided by the international student’s accommodation office at Kasetsart University. On the campus, there is a swimming pool, tennis courts, volleyball fields, a gym and two football stadiums. Also, a lot of student bars restaurants, and coffee shops. Or you can always get outside the campus and use the fast sky train called BTS to get to the centre of Bangkok or anywhere you want to go in the city. Would I like to go to another stay abroad? Yes, definitely!
