Freemover

 Freemover

Some VSE faculties offer a financial support for study abroad (for 1 semester) to students who individually find and address a university abroad of their field of study, and with the approval of their home faculty at VSE and of the university abroad, they arrange their study abroad individually.

The Freemover programme is not the same as the Exchange programme, which is mediated by VSE. The Freemover programme is not based on an exchange of students. It is your own individual mobility, i.e. study abroad that you arrange individually in accordance with your field of study and for which you might get a financial support from your faculty, if you fulfil set conditions. If students must pay tuition fees at the university abroad, you will need to pay them as well.

After you have been admitted to a university abroad as a freemover, please forward your Acceptance Letter and a completely signed Study Abroad Course Plan (available for download below) to the VSE International Office (ozs@vse.cz).

CEEPUS Freemover

VSE students might also take part in the CEEPUS programme (Central European Exchange Program for University Studies) as a Freemover in countries involved in the programme, and apply for CEEPUS Freemover scholarship for their individual mobility.

It is responsibility of the interested students to contact the desired university directly (it is not allowed to organize CEEPUS Freemover mobility in universities which are VSE partners in Erasmus+ programme) to inquire about admission possibilities. Students also have to discuss available courses and ensure they align with their academic curriculum.

More details can be found on the website of the National CEEPUS Office.
