A Message from the Rector of the University of New York in Prague

At the University of New York in Prague (UNYP), we are proud to be a genuinely international community rooted in the heart of Europe. As the Rector of UNYP, I am honored to lead an institution that blends American-style education with the rich academic traditions of Europe. Our mission extends beyond imparting knowledge—we aim to inspire growth, spark innovation, and cultivate global citizens prepared for a rapidly evolving world.

Since our founding, UNYP has stood as a beacon of academic excellence in Central Europe. With more than 1,000 students from over 60 countries and faculty representing diverse educational and cultural backgrounds, we foster an inclusive and intellectually vibrant environment where students are encouraged to think critically, act ethically, and challenge conventional thinking.

What sets UNYP apart is our commitment to personalized education. Small class sizes and direct engagement with professors allow our students to experience university life that is both rigorous and supportive. We are not just preparing graduates—we are shaping leaders, innovators, and thinkers who are ready to make meaningful contributions to their communities and industries.

Whether you’re seeking a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations, a Master’s in Psychology, or an MBA with a global outlook, UNYP provides an education that is flexible, future-focused, and internationally recognized. Our partnerships with prestigious universities worldwide provide students with unparalleled opportunities for academic exchange and career development.

In a time of global uncertainty and change, UNYP remains steadfast in our mission to nurture resilience, empathy, and a forward-thinking mindset in our students. We invite you to discover everything that makes UNYP a distinctive and inspiring place to study, grow, and thrive.
