Prague Higher Education

In general, anyone interested in studying at a university, whether in Prague or elsewhere, should first of all have thought about the following issues:

The private universities can be devided to three groups – Czech universities that offer Czech programs, Czech universities with foreign programs, and foreign universities with American, Spanish, Russian, Czech, or Slovak accreditation.

U.S. Business School Praha (USBSP) provides both 1-year full-time MBA program in  cooperation with the Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, taught exclusively in English and also some Certificate programs. The Czech Management Center in Čelakovice (CMC), also offers different MBA programs in cooperation with foreign universities. There are some other business schools, e.g. The Prague International Business School (PIBS) and the Brno International Business School (BIBS) that offer MBA programs. Those who are interested in this type of studies can find more information about the programs on the web pages of these schools.

One of the Czech private universities that offers a wide variety of programs taught exclusively in English is the University of New York in Prague (UNYP).  It offers a 4-year full-time Bachelor´s program for high school graduates. At the end of the second year of studies students can choose one of two options – either continue their studies at SUNY/New Paltz in the US and get the degree there or continue at UNYP in Prague and get the degree from SUNY Empire State College.

At the post-graduate level, UNYP offers weekend Master´s and weekend MBA programs as well. The 16-month MBA program is organized in cooperation with ESCEM and students receive their diploma from ESCEM. Two different 1-year Master´s programs are organized in cooperation with US universities. The Master´s in Professional Communication and Public Relations program is organized in cooperation with LaSalle University in Philadelphia, and the Master´s in Human Resource Development and Training is organized in cooperation with the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Students study at UNYP but they receive their diploma from the corresponding US university. The foreign professors coming to teach together with the multinational student body (from 58 countries around the world) create a special international atmosphere at UNYP.

We are sure that people who wish to study during their stay in the Czech Republic can always find some study program that will be interesting for them.
