A global education in the heart of Prague.

Anglo-American University (AAU), the oldest private university in the Czech Republic, has been educating globally minded students since its founding in 1990. Located in the historic Thurn-Taxis Palace in Prague’s Malá Strana, AAU offers undergraduate and graduate programs taught entirely in English to a diverse student body representing over 80 countries.

Small classes. Real connections.

With an average class size of around 17 students, AAU emphasizes small, interactive classes that foster critical and creative thinking, effective communication, and collaboration. Students work closely with faculty and each other, gaining not only academic knowledge but also the confidence and adaptability needed in today’s global environment.

Practical learning that goes beyond the classroom

AAU combines academic study with hands-on experience. Students develop ideas, work on real-world projects, and engage in internships and partnerships with local and international organizations. This approach ensures graduates leave with experience, not just theory, and are well prepared for careers across industries.

Accredited in the U.S. and Europe

AAU is fully accredited in both the United States and the European Union. It is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and National Accreditation Bureau in the Czech Republic. This dual accreditation allows students to earn a globally recognized degree while studying in Europe.

An international community without borders

As one of the most international universities in the region, AAU brings together students and faculty from around the world. This global environment, combined with study abroad opportunities and international partnerships, creates a truly cross-cultural learning experience.

A foundation for global careers

AAU supports students in building their professional paths through internships, career services, and a strong alumni network. Graduates go on to careers in international business, diplomacy, media, and public service, as well as further study at leading institutions worldwide.

A university that invests in its students

AAU continually reinvests in its academic programs and student experience. Together with its diverse community, the university fosters a culture of academic excellence, international perspective, and social responsibility.
