ŠKODA AUTO University was founded as the first and the only company university in the Czech Republic. Its founder is ŠKODA AUTO, seated in Mladá Boleslav, one of the most critical and most dynamically evolving companies in the Czech Republic and one of the largest brands of the Volkswagen concern.
An indivisible part of the full-time bachelor study program is the student s' internship. These internships form the fifth semester and are undertaken at ŠKODA AUTO or its suppliers within the Czech Republic. Many students of the follow-on master study program participate in internships while studying part-time, thus gaining theoretical expertise and relevant work experience. Students with an excellent command of a foreign language can apply for internships abroad. Abroad, students usually undertake the internship within the Volkswagen concern or the ŠKODA AUTO group.

For their internships, students choose from different departments within ŠKODA AUTO, other partners of ŠKODA AUTO University, or foreign companies.
Master's degree students can select a three-month work placement as a part of the block of compulsory elective courses.

The study's core consists of individual student work with the use of study aids provided by the school, prescribed literature, and other information sources. Students communicate with teachers through lectures and, to a small extent, via the Internet and other means of communication.
