Czech University of Life Sciences Prague
speciality: Business and Strategy

I studied Business Administration at CZU Prague from 2017 to 2020, and overall, I had a positive experience. My program was in English, why g madre it posible for me (Bolivian) to study there, yhough some professors had strong accents, which occasionally made understanding challenging. The courses themselves were manageable, and it was possible to finish the degree in three years if you stayed focused.

One downside was the lack of guidance during the thesis process. While my advisor was helpful, I didn’t receive enough support on how to start or structure my research, and there were no workshops on essential skills like paraphrasing and citation.

Another area for improvement would be a more effective program to help international students with job placement and visa sponsorship. Many of us struggled with finding opportunities that would allow us to stay in the country after graduation, and it would have been valuable to have more resources to guide us through this process.

Despite these issues, I found the program to be valuable and would recommend it to motivated students.

This university is a perfect place, if you want to experience the real student life. It has the huge campus located in Prague. In this campus, there is everything you need from restaurants, bars, clinic to zoo, park. It is like a small city of students, where you can experience a lot!
About the programme, especially business and administration, if you are really interested in economic topics, this school is for you. Unfortunately, there are many students that are bored and do not want to study this, but they are just there, so they can have the student status and because it is not as hard as other universities in Prague. That is why the quality of classes is not meeting the potential. When it comes to professors, the relationship is not on a personal level, between a student and teacher, which I find as disadvantage, because you need to feel empathy, connection and some relationship.

In overall that was a sad experience unfortunately as instead of concentrating on the learning you had to be stressing out on how strong your accent was in Czech in order not to get another portion of bullying from professors for where you’re from. Oral part of each exam was a total madness as again, Czech students were lucky to get a mark 3 just for a couple of words, while Russian students were kept for 40 min and still were left with “not succeeded” results. We were all in the same room, so we witnessed that with our own eyes. Due to that a lot of Russian students had to repeat the program twice and graduate not in 3 years, but in 4-6 years. I’m glad a few professors were sane and very pleasant people, but mostly Economical faculty especially Business Administration program in Czech language was a nightmare for students from Russia. We were so happy to finally graduate at least for Bachelor program and never to continue with this horrible faculty PEF specialty Podnikani a Administrativa (in cz) again. I’m taking about time period 2013-2019, hopefully those professors are not there anymore. For the sake of my objective opinion, I’m happy to mention that I’ve been working for a big international company for many years now, I speak several languages fluently and accents were never a problem in the international environment, but for this university it did unfortunately. I’m so happy I’m not a student anymore and I don’t recommend to study in Czech for any foreigners here in Prague , rather choose English programs even in the same faculty PEF at this university.
