Humanities, Society, and Culture: Creative Writing and Storytelling

The Creative Writing and Storytelling concentration is built for students who want to write, create, experiment, and publish—not just study texts. From the very start, students are actively producing original work, participating in workshops, and receiving continuous feedback from faculty and peers.

The program blends creative labs, writing studios, and genre-focused workshops with a flexible liberal arts structure. Learning happens through doing: drafting stories, revising poems, scripting scenes, pitching ideas, and collaborating on creative projects. Small class sizes and an interactive American-style teaching model ensure that every student’s voice is heard and developed.

Beyond the classroom, you can also join student clubs like Model UN and Film Club, discuss current political issues with professors and local experts at an event like ‘Professors in the Pub’ or stop by one of our movie nights or poetry readings in the Library featuring professors and internationally published authors.

AAU’s Career Center also connects students with numerous professional internships in the Czech Republic and abroad every year.

The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, Society and Culture is a 3-year study program. To graduate, students must accumulate 90 US credits (180 ECTS credits) by completing 30 courses including an internship and a thesis. Students complete their degree with a final exam and thesis defense.
