Freemovers

The programme for Freemovers is intended for students who themselves arrange a study or work placement at a foreign university outside of any kind of Masaryk University exchange programme (e.g. Erasmus+), or outside any intergovernmental, interuniversity or interfaculty agreement.

Freemovers can choose from universities around the world, however their home faculty/department and the foreign university must consent. Each foreign university has its rules for the acceptance of Freemovers – some do not accept them at all, others require them to pay tuition fees and others openly welcome Freemovers.

Information on the experiences of students who have made use of the grants for Freemovers to study at a wide range of foreign universities can be found here here (only in Czech).

Participation Conditions

The Freemovers study placement is open to a student who:

  • is enrolled on an accredited bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral study programme at MU – full-time, combined or distance forms of studies
  • must have completed at least the first semester of bachelor’s studies at the time of submitting the application
  • throughout the period of their placement is enrolled in studies at the faculty/department through which the placement was organised, and the studies may not be ended or interrupted
  • is not travelling to their Country of Origin or Country of Residence 

Study placement conditions:

  • the scholarship is awarded for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 1 semester
  • study programs at MU and the selected foreign university must be compatible, i.e. the faculty will confirm that the student's completed courses will be recognized as part of the study plan at MU
  • the student must prove knowledge of the foreign language in which they will study; this does not apply to PhD students if the language of communication during their stay is English
  • the student must complete 20 ECTS per semester from abroad; in the case of short-term preparation of the dissertation, the number of credits obtained can be lower; however, the student must meet the study requirements of the home faculty
  • it is possible to travel with this grant once during bachelor’s, once during master’s and once during doctoral studies; if there is a lack of suitable applicants, this grant can be offered repeatedly
  • this programme requires MU students to submit an application for recognition of courses/credits from their stay abroad after the end of the stay (more information can be found here)
  • the student must submit all required documents before the start of the stay and after its completion; failure to submit them is considered a failure to meet the conditions for awarding the scholarship and the scholarship must be returned
