Anglo-American University, a private university in Prague, has long been attracting learners from around the world to earn a globally recognized degree, gain general knowledge, and build successful careers. Students at AAU learn in small, interactive classes. This guarantees that educators can adopt a personalized approach to each student and deliver high-quality instruction. A focus on in-class discussions and projects, as opposed to routine memorization, further allows our students to actively develop the skills that will help them own their futures.
AAU offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in five Schools of Study: School of Business Administration, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, School of International Relations & Diplomacy, School of Journalism, and the John H. Carey II School of Law.
We offer courses in a wide range of academic disciplines, taught by a diverse and international faculty. Our instructors aim to not only educate but also inspire students to challenge their current understanding of the world.
Our courses provide students with the appropriate tools for professional life in the 21st century and give graduates the means to engage in lifelong learning and development. Anglo-American University cultivates a global learning environment, promoting analytical, creative, and practical thinking in the pursuit of academic excellence.
Comprised of over 70 nationalities, the student body of AAU is very multicultural. The most significant proportion of students come from the United States (22%), the Czech Republic (20%) and Russia (12%), as well as many from the various post-Soviet nations (app. 20%) such as Kazakhstan, Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Belarus. As far as Western Europe, our students predominantly come from France, Germany, and Italy. The most significant student representation from East Asia is Vietnamese and South Korean. It is this eclectic mix that has helped to create a global community of which we at AAU are very proud of. The belief at AAU is that through improved cross-cultural communication, the world's challenges can be better understood, leading to more effective solutions.
AAU's faculty is made up of over 20 different nationalities. This is primarily occupied by Czech, American, and British lecturers and includes Israeli, German, Australian, French, Scandinavian, and many more.
At over 3.6 million Czech Crowns of tuition fees subsidized in the 2015/16 semester, AAU's scholarship program continues to grow, providing financial benefits to over 10% of our degree-seeking students.

If you are a student of one of our partner universities, and you would like to come to AAU, in the first instance, please go and talk to the Exchange Coordinator or the International Office at your home university, who will be able to advise you about your options. Please note that you must first be selected and nominated for the exchange by your home university because the number of places for each exchange is limited. Only after that can, you can apply to AAU.
Please also remember that the deadline and the conditions you have to meet to gain the nomination are set by your home university, not by AAU, so your first stop really must be your own International Office.
Students accepted through our official exchange programs (both Erasmus and non- Erasmus) do not pay tuition at AAU, though you may still be required to pay various small administrative charges (copying, library fees, etc.) As an exchange student, you will be allowed to register for any available class for which you are suitably qualified, subject to considerations of space, and subject to your home university's approval. In principle, all classes offered at AAU are available to Erasmus/exchange students, except for a small range of LLB and MBA classes, which are open only to our degree-seeking students. Students who are interested in exploring the culture of the Czech Republic may also take optional classes of Czech as a foreign language. Visa and insurance requirements are the same as for our other students: see below for further.
