Student review [#106360] for MA in International Relations and Diplomacy
at Anglo-American University - AAU

I had a wonderful time when I did my master’s degree there in 2015-2018. I learned a lot, and was inspired by some fantastic lecturers. The academic level is high,

As the name communicates, they follow Anglo-American academic traditions, meaning that there is a greater focus on oral presentations, more frequent tests, and a grading system that is made up of your accumulated effort throughout the semester. This differs from the European tradition where the final grade is for the most part based on your final exam. This means that you have to work more throughout the semester, but also that you are forced to engage with the curriculum and the other students more actively, which helps a deeper sense of learning in my experience.

The selection of extracurricular activities is wide and varied. This university punches above its weight: there are numerous student bodies and activities being organized throughout the year. From film club to MUN club to debates in the pub to gallas, the social scene is vibrant and the staff and student groups go the extra mile to make it an engaging place to be.

Plus, the building is a gorgeous old palace right in the historical centre of an even more gorgeous Prague. The lecture rooms and courtyard is heavenly.

Highly recommended!
