Erasmus Student Club

The Erasmus Student Club (ESC) is a voluntary and non-profit student organization which makes the adaptation of the foreign students at our faculty and also in the Czech Republic much easier. The club is based on the so called buddy-system and also helps local students to make new friends among Erasmus students. The ESC has an ambition to become a member of the international organization ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK which connects 244 similar students' organizations from 33 countries.

The club's activities are focused on the intercultural understanding and cognition, the celebration of the student's life and organization of the leisure time activities etc.
