ISEP (International Student Exchange Program)

Masaryk University is the only public university in the Czech Republic that is part of the ISEP international network, which allows students to study for the same cost as in the Czech Republic at almost 150 universities in the USA and at dozens of other universities in 50 countries around the world – for example in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and various countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

You can find a list of host universities on the webpages of the ISEP organisation. You can follow your study placement in the USA with a traineeship of the same length (Academic Training), which allows you to legally work in the USA in your field of study – you can find further information here. Within the ISEP programme, MU does not support students at European universities, since mobility in Europe is possible via the programme Erasmus+MU does not support additional study within the ISEP Direct programme, only ISEP Exchange.

Final reports from MU students are available (only in Czech) in the database CZS Final Reports and in IS OIS (since 2019). 

>> It is only possible to apply for one-semester mobility (autumn 2023 or spring 2024). There will be no additional call for Spring 2024, so you have to apply for this procedure, by December 15, 2022. <<

Participation Conditions

  • Participants in the ISEP programme must be full-time bachelor's and master's degree students at Masaryk University.
  • At the time the application form is filled out, applicants must be in the second to fourth years of their studies at MU. This means in years 2, 3, or 4 of the bachelor's program, in the first year of the regular master's program, or in years 2, 3, or 4 of the "long" master's program.
  • The minimum length of the study placement is one semester and the maximum is two. You can follow your study placement in the USA with a traineeship of the same length (Academic Training), which allows you to legally work in the USA in your field of study – you can find further information here.
  • You may participate in the program only once during the course of your studies at MU.
  • For each semester of study the student has a duty to get 20 ECTS, or the equivalent in the credit system of the host university. The given programme requires of MU students that after the end of their placement they submit an application for recognition of courses/credits from their foreign placement. You can find further information here.
  • We recommend that MU students of law, medicine and pharmacy consider their participation in the mobility program carefully, because of the differences in the educational systems for these disciplines both in the USA and in other countries (although participation is feasible for MU students who get permission from their home faculty).
  • If a student applies to study abroad as part of a master's degree (follow-up master’s degree or the 4th and 5th year of a long master's degree), we recommend a careful selection of receiving institutions (check the availability, number and content of courses in catalogues) and subsequent consultation with the academic coordinator at the home faculty/department before closing the online CZS application.
  • Throughout the time you study abroad under ISEP, you must maintain active status as a full-time student at MU—in other words, you cannot terminate or interrupt your studies, nor can you change to a status other than full-time student.
  • Within the ISEP programme, MU supports studies only at universities outside Europe (Mobility in Europe is possible through the Erasmus+ programme).
  • MU supports study only within the ISEP Exchange programme, not ISEP Direct.
