Bilateral Agreements: Ministry of Education Scholarships for Students of Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral Study Programmes from India

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (MEYS) offers scholarships to students of Indian universities who wish to undertake study stays at one of the Czech public institutions of higher education.

SELECTION OF UNIVERSITY AND FIELD OF STUDY:

• Applicants are required to choose a field of study that is related to the field they are currently studying at their home university/college. They usually attend programmes whose completion does not lead to the award of a degree (non-degree study courses/exchange programmes) or pursue an independent research activity, depending on their academic qualifications and preferences.
• Applicants may also be admitted to standard study programmes (especially doctoral programmes) for the duration of the study stay. The feasibility of this option depends on the host university.
• The terms and conditions of admission and requirements concerning the language of tuition are stipulated autonomously by the host universities which take independent decisions whether or not each applicant can be accepted within the framework of the MEYS’ scholarship programme.
• Access to the art academies can be limited. Samples of artistic work, e.g. photographs, video/audio recording of a musical performance, must be attached to the application forms of fine/performing arts students/graduates.

LANGUAGE OF TUITION:

• The primary language of tuition is Czech.
• Scholarship-holders may also be admitted to some courses taught in English. Admission to these courses and programmes is only possible on the condition that the relevant host university decides, of its own volition, to grant the prospective scholarship-holder a full tuition fee waiver.
