Bulling against Russian students

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.

Lots of memorizing, less thinking

At this university, you need to memorize tons of information - most of it you will never ever use + you will forget it right after the exam. Students are not encouraged to use their brains and to come up with their own solutions, but to just absorb the information the teacher gives them. I got As and Bs but haven't learn almost anything.

Quality and experience!

I can say I am completely different from before and after AAU. At some point I wondered but now without even noticing I can see my knowledge has improved a lot. I say seamless because it is not the traditional type of learning, you learn through hands on projects, in class discussions, real world scenarios, interactive sessions and becomes part of your day to day life and interests. I 100% Recommend AAU to anyone who wants to experience a life-long a real international community and learn in the process while having the time of your life in Europe!
