Erasmus study stay

1. Online NOMINATION FORM

Make sure that your coordinator has successfully submitted your nomination. Without the official nomination made by your sending institution we will not be able to continue in your application process.

2. Learning Agreement and the Portal account

Please use our course catalogue.

If your home institution is connected to EWP, create your online learning agreement OLA in your home university system. It has to be electronically signed by you and your home coordinator and sent via the EWP network to the University of Pardubice (UPCE). When the UPCE coordinator signs OLA electronically, it means that you will be accepted to the mobility at UPCE.
Please log into our Portal system with your email (that you used in OLA), verify, and complete your data.

If your home institution is not connected to EWP, you have to create your student account in our Portal system manually. Also, you have to upload a scan of the learning agreement signed by your home university coordinator and by you (you can upload documents at the end of the section Incoming study visit). You will find the learning agreement form here. UPCE faculty coordinator signs your LA and uploads the final version of it with all the signatures.

For more guidance, please follow the Erasmus study stay - EWP guidelines.

In case of any technical problems do not hesitate to contact our IT department (miroslav.koblizek@upce.cz )
