The fundamental pillar of the internationalization at the Prague University of Economics and Business, is the Erasmus+ Programme.

  • Erasmus+

The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) provides the general quality framework for European and international cooperation activities a higher education institution may carry out within Erasmus+. VSE was awarded ECHE, therefore is entitled to all types of activities of the Erasmus+ Programmes in years 2021-2027. The condition for the award of an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education is the approval of the Erasmus Policy Statement (EPS).
