Due to the increasing interest of foreign students (from our partner schools only!) to study on a short term basis at FAMU, we have found it necessary to alter our process of admission in accordance with the rules of LLP Erasmus.

Deadline of submission of application and requirements
The deadlines for the applications are May 15, 2009 for the fall term of 2009/2010 academic year and November 13, 2009 for the spring term of the same academic year. Results of the application process will be announced till the end of the month (May/November).

The official Erasmus Application form should be accompanied by a CV. The Application form can be downloaded here. (To be filled on computer, please.)

Applicants will be informed by e-mail by May 31 (November 30) of 2009 whether or not they have been accepted. The duration of the program is of one semester. Please notice that only students from our partner schools may apply!

Applicants also need to be aware that FAMU cannot provide housing in Prague. Try to look at this web page to find housing: http://www.travellers.cz/cz/hostels-apartments.php

 
Courses and language of tuition
In accordance with the regulations of the Socrates/Erasmus program students may attend all theoretical lectures and seminars that are accredited at FAMU. These lectures are common to both the Erasmus and the FAMU International study programs. Participation in practical exercises and workshops is not possible due to lack of space and money. Each semester, a number of 3-4 students is allowed to participate at lectures and seminars of the Department of photography. Their selection takes place after their arrival to FAMU.  Those specialized in photography should bring their own camera and a portfolio (set of photos) or send them in advance.

All the courses are just in English!

The Application and the CV are to be submitted to Ladislav Šerý, Vice-dean for International Relations.
