Summary/Abstract: Although there are a number of scientific publications dedicated to Ukrainian migration to the Czech Republic, student migration from this country remains insufficiently researched and described. This report hopes to fill the gap. Its aim is not only to describe the legal and institutional settings in the Czech Republic related to student migration in general but most importantly to explore the main characteristics and the strategies of Ukrainian students. The report is based on secondary analysis of available documents and literature and also on qualitative and quantitative data gathered during the project. In the course of the project we conducted a brief survey with Ukrainian students and graduates and also several in-depth interviews with other relevant actors involved in the process. The project and the research have a rather explorative character since the topic of interest is relatively new. By this report we hope to open up discussion about the role and the potential of Ukrainian student migration to the Czech Republic.
