About
History
The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) was established in April 1998 in cooperation with the State University of New York, New Paltz, and the State University of New York Empire State College. This cooperation enables UNYP to offer students the opportunity to obtain an internationally recognized American bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York.
Education
Our undergraduate programs are based on the teaching styles used in American colleges and universities. Our programs are designed to introduce students to a range of academic disciplines, to prepare them to master the techniques of critical thinking, effective communication, analysis and research, and acquire the knowledge necessary for a professional specialization in a major field. All of our classes are taught in English.
Research
In 2009, a research budget was established at the University of New York in Prague to support the faculty in all of the schools in their research work, and to facilitate and increase the university’s research output. Since then, research at UNYP has developed steadily. Our faculty members are highly active in conducting significant research and publishing their work within the Czech Republic and abroad in academic journals, research conferences and books. UNYP faculty members also contribute to popular journals and magazines, and many are recognized as leading experts in their respective fields due to their media presence.
Career
The UNYP Career Center is conjoining the university and business, graduates and the employment market. One of Career Center objectives is to help students develop their careers and makes available the UNYP’s institutional networks.

Private uni with potential
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
A small university with decent opportunities. It is progressive in comparison to Czech public universities, which still rely heavily on frontal education, as UNYP teaches its students writing and presentation skills.
