Can the host institution, the majors within the institution and the language of studies be changed?

November 11th, 2020

The host institution, the majors within the institution and the language of studies can be changed only once per each study level after submitting a special student request. Since 2019 the deadline for submitting the requests to Tempus Public Foundation is 1 December (for Spring Semester) and 15 May (for Fall Semester) in every school year.

Institutions, majors and languages can be changed only at the end of the semester, so that the scholarship holder could start the next semester in the new institution, on the new study programme, in the new language.

Institutions, majors and languages can be changed only within one year after beginning the studies. The request–if it is relevant–must also include the extension of the studies with the scholarship.

During the extension, scholarship holders may not receive a scholarship or housing allowance. It shall first be applied to students starting their studies in the 2020/21 academic year in an ascending order.

Documents to be submitted for changing institutions, majors and/or languages:

  • a request signed by the student,
  • a letter of acceptance by the future host institution,
  • a statement by the present host institution.

The student must submit the request for changing institutions, majors and/or languages with the compulsory annexes to the Directorate for Internationalisation of Higher Education electronically.

The Tempus Public Foundation forwards the list of scholarship holders whose changing request has been approved to the Sending Partners for consultation.
