Inbound Exchange Student Information

Incoming Exchange Students – Welcome!

The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) is a diverse institution with students from over 65 countries and instructors from over 30 countries. This diversity fosters an open environment for the exchange of ideas and perspectives through small class sizes.

To further enhance its global outlook, UNYP has established partnerships with over 70 institutions worldwide, welcoming exchange students from these partner institutions to join and enrich the community.

If your home university does not have an Exchange agreement with UNYP, you may still be able to study at UNYP as a Study Abroad student on a fee-paying basis.
