International Vibes
Currently, we have around 5000 full-time students and approximately 1000 of them are enrolled in one of our English language degree programs. Students of about 100 nationalities study at our faculty. We also have one of the highest international mobility participation rates of all the faculties of Charles University. Each year we welcome around 500 exchange students from all over the world!
We are “in the heart of Europe” not only by its geographical location, but also at the academic level. Leading experts from Czechia and abroad meet at our faculty; owing to the wide study offer and interdisciplinary permeability, we are a faculty that is also very attractive for students and researchers from abroad.
We are a top scientific workplace with an international reach – the large number of international projects or cooperation within the 4EU+ Alliance testifies to this. In addition, within the whole university, our faculty has the highest number of joint international programmes (joint and double degrees) as well as the highest number of foreign-language study programmes. We cooperate with European universities within the ERASMUS+ programme, which is complemented by other programmes of international mobility with leading non-European educational and scientific institutions.
