The Erasmus+ ICM programme allows you to study at universities in Erasmus+ partner countries, i.e. in a number of countries not participating in the standard Erasmus+ programme. The specific offer of universities varies from year to year depending on the evaluation of Masaryk University's application for funding, and is mainly from countries outside Europe.

Duration of the study stay: 3 to 12 months

CEEPUS is a Central European university exchange programme focused on regional cooperation within university networks. It focuses on what is specific to the Central European region and contributes to European integration.
