About Program

Study in Prague, “the crown jewel of central Europe,” and the gateway between Eastern and Western Europe. Learn about the Czech Republic’s incredible cultural and political transformation that began during the Velvet Revolution of 1989. At NYU Prague, courses like Modern Dissent in Central Europe: The Art of Defeat and European-American Relations in the 21st Century explore fundamental topics in history and social justice. Courses are taught by politicians and public intellectuals, many of whom were key players in the country’s transition to democracy. NYU Prague staff organize day trips and overnight excursions to historic sites like Kutná Hora, a medieval town and UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its cathedrals, or industrial Ostrava, where students meet members of the town’s Romani population. Learn more and access our online application on the NYU Office of Global Programs website. Secure your spot for an amazing semester abroad! Opportunities vary based on local restrictions.

reputable programme in a fun location

Oct 29, 2011

NYU has a range of other study abroad programmes but this is an increasingly popular option. Lots of fun in a city that is not as expensive as other 'traditional' study abroad programmes, i.e. London/Rome.

Great Program

Oct 29, 2011

I loved my time in Prague. Classes were only four days a week, so we had ample opportunity to travel. I visited Amsterdam, Poland, France, Spain, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, and Morocco. NYU also offers fantastic (free) trips within the Czech Republic, so I really got to experience the whole country.

Made some wonderful friends during my five months. I still keep in touch with many of them. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

An Amazing Semester Abroad!

Oct 29, 2011

I studied abroad in Prague back in 2006 and I STILL find myself talking about it. If you want to study abroad in Prague, then this is definitely the program to do. The professors are amazing, hilarious, and understand that studying while abroad is often times about learning outside of the classroom.

As for life in Prague and the social scene at NYU, you can't really do much better. Unlike other programs in Prague, NYU's is self-contained in its own cute building, not part of a larger Czech university like Charles U. This definitely makes a big difference in fostering relationships with other students, as do the NYU-only dorms.

I lived in Osadni, which is a bit further out than some of the other living options, but I loved it and I hear that what was then an up and coming neighborhood is now an artist hub. There's a lot of good Czech food around as well! The only thing that was rough was the freezing winter and the commute into school when it was that cold out.

All in all, my time at NYU in Prague was definitely well spent, both in and out of the classroom!
