Unicorn College

As part of the Unicorn Group, we can use its extensive experience with developing and operating information systems. Thanks to this collaboration, we can follow the latest trends and develop modern solutions within information and communication technologies. We also have access to systematically collected know-how from various fields of business, technology, and process management, as well as to data on the capabilities and level of knowledge of tens of thousands of university students and graduates who have gone through Unicorn project recruitment waves. We use all this to prepare highly effective study programs and train graduates who will have no problem finding a job in the labor market.

Prague is a popular place for students from all over the world to study. You can join us for one or two semesters, as well as for intensive summer programs. Our International Relations Office welcomes applicants from both partner and non-partner universities.

If you have already been accepted as an exchange student at Unicorn College, you should have received a login and password from us. Log in on our website to select the courses you want to attend during your semester. If you are interested in studying at Unicorn College as part of an exchange program (either as part of the Erasmus program or outside of it), please contact Mr. Jerome Dumetz for more details.

Unicorn College offers university education in the form of full-time studies, part-time studies, and individual studies. The recommended period is three years.

The academic year starts with enrolment for the given year, at which point the student chooses his or her courses. During the first fourteen days, the student can register for additional courses or cancel his or her registration. The year is divided into a winter and summer semester, consisting of twelve weeks of classes and a six-week exam period.

We Provide Students with a Self-contained Set of Knowledge and Skills:

• Education includes not only conventional lectures but also practical workshops, seminars, and semester-wide projects.
• Renowned experts with actual working experience are involved in teaching.
• A broad choice of foreign languages, primarily English and Russian.

Our Graduates are in High Demand on the Labour Market:

• One-third of Unicorn College students find a job within the Unicorn group.
• One-third of students start their careers at one of our partners.
• One-third of students start their own companies during their studies or shortly after.
• None of our graduates have a problem finding a job.

We mediate the provision of accommodation scholarships to our students. The Ministry of Education assigns this scholarship, Youth and Sports. The scholarship is paid according to the laws and directives governing the scholarship.

A student is entitled to an accommodation scholarship for every calendar month in which the student meets the requirements for eligibility. A student is not eligible for July and August. This scholarship is usually awarded to those students whose places of permanent residence are outside Prague. The amount of the scholarship is 650 CZK/month. The accommodation scholarship is paid on a retroactive basis as a single amount to the student’s account within 30 days of when the accommodation scholarship is credited to the school’s account.

If you are a citizen of a Non-European Union country and will be studying in the Czech Republic for more than three months, you’ll need a long-term visa. Please contact the nearest Czech embassy or consulate in your country to get information on how to apply for a Czech visa.

Since the process may take a while, we recommend that you start the visa application process as soon as you get your official acceptance letter from Unicorn College. This letter provides proof that you are registered in the program and specifies the dates you will need to be in Prague physically.

The necessary documents may differ from country to country. However, your passport and the official acceptance letter are always required. If you are a citizen of an EU country, you usually do not need a visa to study in the Czech Republic for up to 6 months.

When in doubt, please contact the nearest Czech embassy or consulate in your country for information on whether you will need a visa. It is your responsibility to obtain a visa before you arrive in the Czech Republic.

If you study at Unicorn College for less than three months (Summer program), whether you will need a visa depends on your country of citizenship. Please contact the nearest Czech embassy or consulate in your country for your visa requirement well ahead of your arrival date in the Czech Republic.

The labor market’s demand for candidates with knowledge of information and communication technologies has always been higher than the supply. There is simply a shortage of industry-specific specialists, which prevents employers from creating added value. This was one of the reasons we decided to address this issue by training and educating new, young people.
