A very solid pick for people who want to broaden their options! Just about all facilities work perfectly and people tempt to be very friendly! Just the teachers can be lacking on certain subjects. Other then that, many of the lecturers are wonderful and very pleasant!
The faculty of Business administrations offer 1 of the best business program in the world with Equis certificate. You can also choose between the English program or Czech program. This university is public so you don't have to pay any tuition but can still recieve a quality education
The courses are nice, informative. Teachers are supportive and well-knowledged. The historical building connected to its modern part is very nice, view on the Prague castle. All courses that the University had to provide were identical to my expectation. I guess that the system of education is really convenient for instance the middle of the semester you have to write the midterm test that allows you to learn part of the course materials and get some points for the total score. If you are active in the class you will get some points. Most of the professors check your attendance. At the end of the semester, you have to write the final exam oral and written however I had only passed 2 oral exams. If you definitely want to get real practical examples until you will get a dream job, it will only depend on your responsibility, willingness and patience for learning something new.
