For many years, foreign students have flocked in ever-greater numbers to start or finish their education in the Czech Republic thanks to the development of cross-border cooperation between individual universities, the Erasmus program and, in general, the greater mobility of young people within the EU. Under the increasingly popular Erasmus program, over 12,000 foreign students arrived in the Czech Republic during the last academic year.
