Great University Experience!

I studied at UNYP and overall had a very positive experience. What I appreciated most was the international environment, smaller classes, and the chance to interact directly with professors instead of feeling like just another student in a huge lecture hall. The university has a practical, English-speaking atmosphere, and it is a good fit for students who want an American-style education in the center of Prague. I also liked that many classes encouraged discussion, presentations, and real examples rather than only theory. Of course, like at any university, some administrative processes can take time and the experience may depend on the program and professors you choose. But from a student perspective, UNYP gave me useful academic experience, international connections, and a lot of personal growth. I would recommend it to students who want a smaller, international university environment in Prague and are ready to be active in their studies.

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.

encourage to study in charles university

My name is Bashar Ali, I am a medicine student in the first year. Today I am going to share my experience in Charles university. As a new student I was confused at the beginning of the year but after not long time I got used to the university system and the university stuff was very helpful starting from professional and nice teachers and ending with office employees. For me the academic side was perfect and my experience was very good. The university provide us with valuable information and we can find a lot of different students from different parts of the world so we can meet people from different cultures. I lived in the dorms and for me it was good because it was safe, clean and cheap. Now I am very happy in my studies especially that the university degree is recognized all over the world in addition that it is one of the highest ranking in the world in conclusion, Charles University offers a world-class medical education that combines rigorous academics, exceptional clinical training, and abundant research opportunities

Quality of CVUT

Firstly, I would like to mention that CVUT is one of the best unis in Czech Republic. After graduating it gives a plenty of opportunities to work since its certificate is recognised around the world in huge companies. It’s not a secret that not all of the students can work while studying, it’s quite difficult to study there but it worth it. Inside, every faculty’s building is modern. Especially FIT, where I am studying now looks great. Professors and tutors create opportunity to study, they can answer to all your questions if there are. Secondly, getting to the uni is not that difficult even if you live far from it. Transportation in public is so developed and trams can get you anywhere quickly. For instance, I am living in Prague 3 and uni is located in Prague 6, even though in map it the distance could be seen so far, by using tram I get to the uni in 20-30 minutes. To sum up, it can be difficult to study there and subject can be hard too but it worth it since after it creates you a huge opportunity to work in successful companies without any doubt.

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!
