Academic Focus
This program is intended for students who wish to take a wide variety of electives while immersing themselves in the Czech culture. While at Anglo-American University (AAVS) students take courses taught in English alongside Czechs, Americans and 60 other different nationalities. Choose your courses from a wide variety of subject areas such as Business & Management, History, International Relations and Diplomacy, Law, Journalism, Politics and Sociology, Mathematics and Art History as well as Czech Language & Literature. By taking courses in English you can immerse yourself in the Czech culture and earn credits with no previous knowledge of the language. While not required, you may take a Czech language course which will focus on listening, comprehension, conversation, and grammar. No matter which classes you choose, the intimate class size and caring highly professional staff at Anglo-American University provide the perfect atmosphere for you to study, socialize and discover the Czech Republic. p>
