From Prague to Brussels or Argentina: Where FIR students studied and had internships in 2022?
International in every aspect. This is the motto of the Faculty of International Relations, not only in the framework of studies. Thanks to the great support for mobility – study stays (such as Exchange program or Double Degree) and internships – students of the Faculty can travel all over the world to top universities, international companies or public institutions representing the Czech Republic abroad.
In 2022, a total of 396 FIR students went on study trips, including 317 students on study stays and 79 students on internship, for which they were awarded credits in their study plan. A total of 159 students went as part of their Bachelor’s studies and 237 as part of their Master’s studies.
