Erasmus experience

I have spent one semester here thanks to the Erasmus exchange programme and I can honestly say that it was the greatest semester I have spent in the last 2 years as a student. The facilities are modern, friendly and can be easily used. The buildings of the university are placed in quiet and easily accessible places. The teachers are open-minded, kind, friendly, they do not behave in a superior manner. The university also pays attention to student life, they organize meetings and student afternoons. Not to forget all the opportunities Prague is giving you, starting with interesting events, conferences, workshops as well as entertainment.

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!

OSUxperience

Great sense of community, once you find the right people. The professors are wonderful, especially Dr. Hurtová and Dr. Tomášková. The entire university recently had a massive facelift, so the whole institution feels modern and welcoming.
