About the School
Students in the School of Journalism, Media, and Visual Arts learn professional standard techniques and skills from AAU’s diverse faculty, many of whom are practicing professionals.
Programs combine classroom theory with hands-on skills in news-writing and gathering for print and web media, digital tools and photography, video production, broadcasting, and visual culture.
While Visual Arts students are in the perfect location to be immersed in Prague’s vast array of ancient and modern art and architecture. Students of AAU’s Visual Arts program move from theoretical analysis to putting brush to canvas.
All SMJVA Students swiftly apply these skills in the art studio or in the field by completing real-world exercises in various forms of journalism, reporting, and composition.
School Bodies
The School of Journalism, Media, and Visual Arts is divided into two departments:
