ELIGIBILITY

The offer of the semester stay is available to all full-time 2.-5. year students of all faculties at Comenius University. However, some universities only accept students of the bachelor programme. The choice of stay in a given academic year depends on the state of exchanges between the Utrecht Network and AEN.

EXPENSES

Study fees are not paid for by Comenius University.

Health insurance, textbooks and study materials, as well as personal expenses will be paid by the students themselves.

The accepting university offers free accommodation and meals. One semester will cost the student several thousand Euro. There are no additional scholarships that are available to fund this exchange – since this is not part of the Erasmus+ exchange programme.

The International Relations Office will contribute to the travel expenses and successful applicants will be informed of all details.

Offer is open until 10.2.2025.

APPLICATION FORM should be submitted to the International Relations Office, Rectorate, to the email address iro@rec.uniba.sk (in the form of a word or .pdf document).

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is decided solely by the foreign school. Successful applicants will be sent a printed official application form and an acceptance letter from the foreign school, with which the applicant can obtain a visa. The student will take care of and pay for the visa themselves.
