Checklist.
The first step you should make is to consult your application with the Erasmus
office at your home University.
This way, you will ensure that there is an Agreement between your University and the

Documents
After being nominated, you receive the introduction e-mail from us and the information e-mail from CU European office.
After you get access to Erasmus online APPLICATION, you will proceed with the online REGISTRATION based on the e-mail from European Office ( erasmus.incoming@ruk.cuni.cz ).
Documents to be delivered to Erasmus+ Coordinator at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (please check the deadline!):
- Application and Learning agreement of the Charles University– generated from the online application system, signed by home coordinator (see the deadlines)
- Any English certificate proving at least B2 level
- Transcript of your home university records – master students will provide both bachelor degree transcript AND master degree transcript
- Degree plan (the list of courses you should pass during your studies) and the syllabis (only Master of Mathematics students)
After you deliver all the required documents, the evaluation of your application will be done within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Once the evaluation is finished, we will send you the feedback, recommendations etc.
Courses
Your choice of courses and the Learning Agreement need to be validated and signed by your home Erasmus + coordinator at first.
What courses are offered at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics?
Choose the section of study:
When you click on each branch/section, you will see the Degree Plan. Each degree plan has a list of obligatory courses which are guaranteed to be taught in English.
Erasmus+ students can also register for courses taught at other faculties of Charles University in Prague, but are required to follow the rule that at least 51 % of courses in Learning Agreement must be taught at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Enrolment of Bachelor students in master courses
Students who are studying the Bachelor program at their home university can enroll in master courses at MATFYZ. We cannot guarantee or promise you in advance the approval of the master courses. Once the Learning Agreement is signed by the home university and delivered to Erasmus+ Coordinator, it is sent for evaluation together with the transcript of records and the degree plan. The professors would check your study results and send the feedback (recommendation or rejection) afterwards. Basically, it depends on student´s knowledge and ability to follow the master courses.
Czech Language courses
An Erasmus+ student at Charles University has two main options:
- To apply for Czech language courses at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. These courses are offered at different levels and can be included into your LA as regular subjects.
- To take the Intensive Czech language course for beginners (no previous Czech language knowledge required). This course starts before the beginning of each semester (early September for the winter semester/mid-January for the summer semester), and it is being held for 3 weeks on everyday basis. More information about this course is sent to incoming students approximately 2 months before the start of the course by the CU European office.
Student Information System (SIS)
In SIS you can search for different courses by name, faculty or teaching language. You can also sort the bachelor and master courses. While searching courses, which you want to take, we strongly recommend you to pay attention especially to the language of instruction, semester and the town, where the course is held.
Other courses in the section Elective courses can be also taught in English. If ENGLISH is mentioned there as a language of teaching.
Please remember:
Only the obligatory courses and courses with the language of instruction “English”, or „English, Czech" are guaranteed to be taught in English, the rest is subject to additional conditions and possibilities.
Following courses are NOT allowed for Erasmus+ students:
- NPRG069 Software Project
- NPRG045 Individual Software Project
- NPRG027 Credits for (software) project
- NAIL130 Elements of AI+
- NAIL131 Ethics of AI+
There are courses which are confirmed by the exam (zk for zkouška), the result then is either:
- Excellent – 1
- Very good – 2
- Good - 3
- If you fail - 4
There are also courses which are evaluated with a course credit (z for zápočet) only. It means there is no grade and the result is either "pass - započteno in Czech" or "fail - nezapočteno". The conditions for obtaining the course credit differ according to the nature of the course, for example involving the completion of a test, programming an application or writing a survey and are specified by the teacher at the beginning of the semester.
The enrolment to courses is possible AFTER you register to our faculty.
Changes of Learning Agreement
Adding or deleting courses is possible during the first month of your stay via the Changes form, which is part of your application. The Changes form needs to be signed by your home coordinator at first and then send to MATFYZ coordinator erasmus-incoming@matfyz.cuni.cz for approval.

During your Erasmus+ stay
Your study stay starts on the day of your registration. Once you register at MATFYZ,
you will be able to enroll to the selected courses.
Course enrolment is done after the registration via Student Information System (SIS)
Note on terminology: we distinguish between enrolment in a course and enrolment in the schedule.
Enrolment in a course in each study section is the information filed electronically in SIS that shows you intend to pass the course in this study section, which allows you to take the course being taught and to sit the exam.
Enrolment in the schedule is the information about when and where the course you are taking will be taught.
Changes of your Learning Agreement can be done during the first month of your stay via the Changes form, which is part of your application. The Changes form needs to be signed by home coordinator at first and then send to erasmus-incoming@matfyz.cuni.cz
