Study in Prague
Make One of Europe’s Great Cities Your Home
Prague combines centuries of history and architecture with the energy and convenience of a modern European capital.
Students benefit from an extensive network of trams, metros, and buses, easy connections to destinations across Europe, a large international community, and comparatively accessible living and transportation costs.
AAU’s location in Malá Strana puts students within walking distance of Prague Castle, the Vltava River, parks, cafés, cultural institutions, and many of the city’s historic landmarks.
Andrew Lichacz – B.A. Economics & Finance“Prague is not just a backdrop. It is an active participant in education. Walking daily through centuries of history, I learned to see layers of cultural and political change embedded in architecture, public spaces, and even local conversations. Perhaps most importantly, Prague gave me the courage to explore. By the time I graduate, I won’t just leave with a degree. I’ll leave with a second home that taught me how to be a citizen of the world.”
