Arrival
Once you are accepted for a traineeship at UCT Prague and your Learning Agreement is signed, you will receive an e-mail from the International Relations Department (IR) regarding your final registration, usually 2–3 weeks before arrival.
Traineeships can start at any time during the academic year, depending on your agreement with your supervisor. Cancellations are only possible for exceptional reasons and must be notified well in advance.
⚠️ Note: Avoid arriving in September–mid October if your only housing option is dormitories, as capacity is limited.
The IR Department will send instructions by e-mail, including how to get to UCT Prague and required registration documents to read in advance (to sign upon arrival): Personal Information Policy, Safety Rules for Students, and Regulations for Using Computers.
