From MUP to the Czech Embassy in Tokyo
12. 11. 2026 Author: Adam Outrata My name is Adam and I am a student of the 5th semester of my bachelor's degree in International Relations – European Studies. But currently I am an intern at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tokyo, Japan, in the commercial and economic section of the embassy. In addition to my studies at MUP, I got this opportunity thanks to an exchange study stay in Denmark at Aarhus University, where I studied Political Science.Working at the embassy and specifically in the business department is very interesting and beneficial, but it requires constant concentration, full commitment, time flexibility and the ability to react quickly and solve any unexpected problems.
However, it is important to mention that the internship offered me much more than I expected. During the time I have been here, I have already participated in the preparation of a number of business meetings, where I had the honor to be in person, I have attended international economic conferences, met a number of CEOs of large companies or talked to people from the industry, such as the Norwegian ambassador in Japan.
The experience and motivation for the future is great. However, I consider it necessary to mention that it is not easy to get an internship and you have to be reliable, do your best and follow your dream. But everything can be done, you just have to work, be humble and try your luck.
The traineeship is funded by the Erasmus+ programme through the Educa International consortium, of which MUP is a member.
