View of the institution on internationalisation and mobility in particular
Since its foundation, Skoda Auto University has been developing its international relations,
actively seeking for new partners, innovates both the academic programmes and cooperates
with more than 30 institutions and companies within the EU as well as all over the world. The
Centre for International Academmic Mobilities (CIAM) coordinates the activities related to
students and staff mobilities, and assures their high quality. We focus mainly on long-term
students mobilities (studies and placements) and intensive staff mobilities (teaching and
training). Besides them the school participates in different international research projects in
close cooperation with foreign universities.
Within the LLP/Erasmus programme, the aim of Škoda Auto University is to increase the
number of incoming and outgoing students (SMS), to find more partners abroad for long-term
placement (SMP), to motivate our academic staff to lecture abroad, and also to welcome a
higher number of academics from our partner institutions to participate in our programmes.
The school has also developed the double degree curricula, extended the offer of subjects
taught in English, and prolonged/opened other projects.
International cooperations also includes scientific research, results publication, student
participation in international summer schools, programmes for young and prospective
business people.
International cooperation within the EU programmes togerher with other projects is extremely
important to Skoda Auto University. The founder, Škoda Auto a.s., Mladá Boleslav, is one of
the most important and dynamic companies in the Czech Republic. It has been a leader in
car production for over a hundred years and this represents a tradition of commitment
combined together with motivation for the university development. The university graduates
with their experience from the international environment benefit from it in the increasingly
competitive labour market. Therefore we motivate our students to study/work abroad and
welcome as many as possible foreign students to live and study with us.
