TRAINEESHIP
Each year, the faculty accepts many students for traineeships in its labs, supervised by our academics. Has any of our research fields sparked your professional interest? Would you like to know more about the traineeship possibilities? Do not hesitate to contact our researchers directly or ask our International Office for assistance. Trainees are usually accepted all year round (however, it might be more difficult in July & August).
How to apply
Erasmus+
Make sure that your university has a bilateral agreement with FCH BUT and that you were nominated by your faculty coordinator.
Semestral laboratory projects
Projects have gradually become the most attractive opportunity for many international students. Laboratory projects (30 ECTS / semester) focused on various areas of research are taught in English and offer the student to hone their laboratory skills in smaller groups and come up with their own research results. We offer them in both semesters, and they are available for both the bachelor’s and master’s degree students. For further details, do not hesitate to contact our coordinator.
Courses
Students are offered a number of theoretical courses and laboratory classes with English as a language of instruction. Due to a smaller number of international students, some theoretical courses might take the form of individual consultations (= no scheduled lectures). Exchange students may also choose to study various courses offered by other faculties of BUT. The majority (approx. 70%) of courses/credits in your Learning Agreement must be from the Faculty of Chemistry.
