UNYP — University of New York in Prague

The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) was founded in 1998 as a private higher education institution, becoming the first Czech university with an English language curriculum. This strategic partnership was initiated by the State University of New York’s Empire State College along with other American and European educational entities, aiming to offer high-quality American and European-style education in Central Europe.

Over the years, UNYP has diversified its academic offerings. It started with degree programs in Business Administration and has since expanded to include a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in communication, international relations, psychology, IT management, and more. The university offers dual degrees that are accredited in both the Czech Republic and the United States.

UNYP prides itself on its highly international environment, attracting students from all over the world. Its faculty also reflects this diversity, with lecturers from many different countries, bringing a varied and rich perspective to the classroom experience. This international makeup is designed to prepare students for the globalized workforce.

The campus is located in the vibrant city of Prague, which not only provides a significant amount of cultural influence and inspiration but also hosts numerous companies and international organizations, giving students ample internship and employment opportunities.

The university's philosophy emphasizes a commitment to academic excellence, fostering a supportive environment for both students and staff, and maintaining flexibility to meet the challenges of the ever-changing global educational landscape.
