About the Program

The Communication & Journalism program at Anglo-American University (AAU) allows you to experience the combination of technologies, media, and cultures first-hand as well as report on Czech culture and current events. You will take courses alongside degree-seeking Czech and other European students at AAU, creating a truly integrated experience not available elsewhere in Prague study abroad. Many courses incorporate an active learning style that takes you out of the classroom and into the city, lending real-world context to lessons learned in class. With more than 100 courses available, all taught in English, across AAU's five schools—Business Administration, Humanities & Social Sciences, Journalism, International Relations & Diplomacy, and Law—you’ll find diverse course options to meet your academic interests. Complement your studies at AAU with courses at the CEA Prague Center, where you’ll examine Czech culture and gain new insights into historical and contemporary life in this Central European city.
