At New York University in Prague, courses such as "Modern Dissent in Central Europe: The Art of Defeat" and "European-American Relations in the 21st Century" explore fundamental topics in history, politics, and social justice. NYU Prague students learn about the Czech Republic’s incredible cultural and political transformation that began during the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Courses are taught by politicians and public intellectuals, many of whom were key players in the country’s transition to democracy. 

NYU Prague staff organize day trips and overnight excursions to historic sites such as Kutná Hora, a medieval town and UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its cathedrals, or industrial Ostrava, where students meet members of the town’s Romani population. Opportunities vary based on local restrictions.

NYU Prague’s academic center is in two 15th-century buildings near the historic Old Town Square. It houses lounges, computer labs, classrooms, music practice spaces, and darkrooms.
