Erasmus Programme Incoming


Application procedure

If you want to study theology or social work with us then first you must be nominated by your home university - check the list here to see if your university has an Erasmus agreement with us. The Erasmus coordinator at your university will have to sign and stamp your application form when you have completed it to confirm that you have been officially nominated.


The application process is organised centrally for all faculties through the Charles University Erasmus office (the European Office). You can find full details on their website here.

Below we give some additional information relating specifically to our Faculty.


As you can see, once you have been nominated by your home university, the next step is to register online. On the basis of the information you give, the system will then automatically generate an Application Form, including the Learning Agreement, which you download, print, and sign, and have it signed and stamped by your Erasmus coordinator so we know you have been nominated by your university. Please send the form to the Office for International Relations at our faculty (see contact details below). You can send it by post or scanned in pdf format as an e-mail attachment. We will confirm it and send it on to the European Office. Our faculty does not require a Transcript of Academic Records from you.

Language requirements

Incoming students must be capable of studying in either English or Czech (or both). We usually offer one or two courses in German, but this is not enough for a full workload. We do not require a language certificate from you, but we expect you to have language skills equivalent to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Learning Agreement

The courses we will offer in the next academic year are not usually published until late July, so when filling in courses on the online registration form the best thing is to fill in courses we are teaching this year. Some courses are offered every year, while others may change, but the overall range of courses will be similar each year. It is also possible to choose courses offered by other faculties but we cannot guarantee 100% that you will be able to take them as they may be full with Erasmus students at that faculty or may clash with courses at the Protestant Theological Faculty. In any case you must choose at least 51% of your courses from the Protestant Theological Faculty. If your home university agrees, it is always possible to change your choice of courses later (for example after you arrive in Prague) and fill out a new Learning Agreement if necessary.

CAS - Charles University Authentication Service

CAS HELP LINK

Central authentication service is used to authenticate users by usernanme and password for:



Two-Factor Authentication for CAS

Two-factor authentication is a simple and effective way to better protect your university account, which you use for accessing services like SIS or Microsoft 365. Besides your password, you will need to confirm your identity through a mobile application – so even if someone discovers your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second step.

Activation Process

Activation takes just a few minutes and significantly increases the security of your data. Moreover, some applications will soon require two-factor authentication, so we recommend enabling it as soon as possible.

You can use other applications or methods as the second factor, but here we will show the setup with the CU Key application. You can also use Google Authenticator or another app. However, please do not use SMS verification unless absolutely necessary, for example, if you don't have smartphone.


First, install the CU Key application on your phone: CU Key:

Orientation programmes

The Office for International Relations at the Protestant Theological Faculty organises an orientation fortnight, including information about your stay in Prague, excursions to places of interest, and an introductory course to the Czech language, in the 2 weeks before the beginning of the winter semester (usually the last 2 weeks in September). Details will be sent when we receive your application form. There will be a shorter orientation programme before the summer semester.

Accommodation

Information is available here.

Canteens / How can I eat in the UK canteen?

Students eat through their catering account within the Kredit system (MobilKredit, WebKredit apps). A catering account is automatically created for students (when they are active students at CU).

Each meal account is linked to an active ISIC card. The card is used to identify the boarder in the canteen.


Where do I get the login details for my meal account?

Web login credentials will be generated for you at each canteen, cafeteria, or outlet where a cash register is located.


Where do I get credit for meals?

You can top up the credit for buying or ordering food in the canteen directly at the checkout or online directly in the app.
