Vision, Mission and Values

Graduates of Anglo-American University are prepared to make a positive difference addressing local, national and international challenges through the analysis and application of current and developing knowledge in the context of a globalized world.

AAU was founded in 1990, shortly after the collapse of communism, as Anglo-American College (AAC) by Jansen Raichl and Dr. Vlasta Raichlová. Their vision was to create an educational institution that would combine the best of American and British academic principles with Central European traditions and give students a wide range of opportunities for their future careers in the local and international labor market.

Mission

AAU empowers students from across the globe through personalized, research-informed, and experiential education to become thoughtful, adaptable, and responsible individuals equipped to thrive and continue learning.

Vision

The AAU vision is to become a leading institution for liberal arts education in Europe, distinguished by academic excellence and graduates who thrive locally and globally.

Institutional Values

  • Academic Quality. Set high standards and use evidence to improve learning and programs; integrate practice with theory across disciplines, teach in small groups, and support each student’s progress.
  • Culture of Belonging. Foster a close-knit, approachable community where everyone is known and heard across roles and levels, and where people take pride in contributing to AAU.
  • Intellectual Integrity and Freedom. Encourage honesty, rigorous inquiry and open- minded dialogue; recognize that true learning requires intellectual challenge.
  • Social Responsibility. Empower our community to act with social responsibility and to reinvest resources to support accessibility of education and advance its quality.
  • Shared Governance. Foster a culture of collaboration and transparency by providing relevant stakeholders at all levels with a voice in matters of curriculum, research and institutional development.
