English Study Abroad Programs in Czech Republic

I took an architecture and a holocaust class during the summer and it was an incredible experience. I went by so fast and I wished I would have done a semester. One of the coolest things we did was tour the Franz Ferdinand's estate. The professors were so kind and passionate, you could tell they want to be there and the program felt like a family.

Studying abroad in Prague was the best experience of my life. I made lifelong friends, explored incredible places, and grew so much as a person. Every day felt like an adventure, and I will cherish those months forever.

I absolutely loved my time abroad. I would do it over and over again if I could. Our program leaders were amazing and always had a local excursion for us to do. The city was amazing, the classes were good, the professors were great, and again(!) the program leaders were so so amazing. The longer weekend trips were definitely worth it and the spring break was the perfect amount of time. The only downside is that we don't have a ton of immersion or interactions with other students. The school isn't physically part of another university so we don't have the opportunity to interact with non-USAC students automatically. There are opportunities to connect with the community and other students if you seek them out yourself, but it's not built into the program. Otherwise, I have zero complaints! I love the housing (it's in great parts of the city and super accessible and good), everyone is very helpful and welcoming, and it's a great experience.

Studying abroad was more than travel, it was learning how to exist between languages, cultures, and systems of power. Coming from a background shaped by migration, the experience felt deeply personal. Walking through new cities, I began to notice not only differences in culture, but in how societies are organized, who has access, and how opportunity is distributed. It made me reflect on policy beyond textbooks—how decisions made in offices translate into real lives, real barriers, and real possibilities. I saw how history, governance, and identity intersect in everyday spaces, from public institutions to conversations with people from different backgrounds. There were moments of uncertainty, of not fully belonging, but also moments of clarity where I understood that navigating these spaces is itself a form of political awareness. I didn’t just learn about the world, I learned how to read it, question it, and imagine how it could be better. This experience didn’t just expand my perspective it gave me a deeper sense of purpose. It reminded me why I chose to study political science, and why I want to be part of the conversations and decisions that shape our global future. https://www.instagram.com/huerta_mmx/

Really excellent time, was very immersed. Went on a lot of great trips. Could not recommend enough big thanks to Dáša and Jan. I love Prague one day I shall return. Banger kamo… much love much gratitude.

This program was the perfect blend of having independence to explore the country and structured group activities. I really enjoyed the course and I liked that although it was a lot of content to cover, the class was not all consuming; there was plenty of time each day to explore the city. The community of USAC students was really supportive and we all stuck together to make meaningful connections.

The USAC staff in Prague were amazing and so helpful. Also, Prague itself was an experience of a lifetime and I want to go back as soon as I can. You are fully immersed in the city life and there are endless activities and exciting things to see.

I studied abroad in Prague for the second summer session during 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. Prague is an absolutely gorgeous city and USAC gave me the chance to live in it for a period of time. The class I took (Architecture) took us to so many museums, churches, castles, and art galleries, most of which I probably wouldn’t have known about if not for the class. The professor, Milan, was so kind and knowledgeable, and so was every staff there (like Dasa and Jan.) If you decide to study in gorgeous Prague, you MUST do the Budapest/Vienna tour. It was a truly amazing trip and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

I had an immersive experience in a foreign country. I found the staff members to be helpful and friendly. I think Prague is a place everyone should visit for a unique cultural shock. I miss it so much and will definitely visit again.

I knew studying abroad in college with something that I wanted to do. I had never been to Prague before coming here and now I find myself recommending it all the time. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I really appreciate it that everybody at USAC helped with immersion, navigation, and adjusting. I felt really supported and the program helped a lot with getting to know the area. I enjoyed my classes, the people, and the world around me. Studying abroad was absolutely incredible .

My month in Prague was amazing and probably the best time of my life. I got to see so much cool stuff on my own and was provided so many unique experiences with USAC, like visiting a medieval mine, a huge fort, countless medieval churches, museums, and boat tour! I got to meet several awesome people and got to celebrate my 21st birthday in a Irish karaoke bar. I got to see museums of history I have always wanted to see (I even got to go into not one but two cold war bunkers!). Overall so much fun and has defiantly made me want to move there!

Studying abroad in Prague was by far the best decision I ever made and would do it again in a heartbeat if I could. The city is breathtaking, clean, and easy to navigate, and the program left me with knowledge, appreciation of Czech culture, and friendships I wouldn't trade for the world. It was my last semester in college, so I chose to go out with a bang. I still communicate with my professors and fellow students, as well as locals I met while there. It's been two years, and I still dream of cobblestone streets, the metro, castles, and quaint coffee shops. If I can say one thing to you if you are considering this program, it's 100% do it. You won't regret it. I wish I could do it again.

Overall, I had a great experience with USAC in the Czech Republic. Everyone involved in the program in Prague were fantastic. They were very helpful in showing us around and helping me get used to the city. It helped me adjust to the living style very quickly. The actual education was enjoyable because I took and art and architecture class and we walked around the city looking at buildings, sculptures, paintings, etc. Then we wrote a paper about it at the end. I would highly recommend travelling with USAC, no matter where you were considering visiting.

The USAC Prague study abroad program could not have been a better way to spend my summer! The classes I took were all very interesting and hands on. Being able to walk around the city and go on field trips to see firsthand what were learning about truly immerses you in the classroom experience while also understanding the culture of the city. Jan and Dasa were the BEST program directors and truly made it feel like a family. I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone!

I went for a summer session abroad in Prague with USAC. Our apartment was in the city center and our instructors did a great job showing us around and showing us how to use public transport. They also did a great job showing us local restaurants and authentic food and they organized plenty of excursions for us to get a proper experience in the Czech Republic. I felt supported and welcome by the staff and creating great relationships and memories while there!

Going into college, I knew I wanted to study abroad no matter where in the world it was. Two years into my college career, I could not have been more thankful that I was given the opportunity to do so in Prague. The city itself is beautiful and has a wide variety of cultural experiences from its historical landmarks and local cafes. Right in the heart and center of Prague is The University of New York in Prague, which is where I attended school for my spring semester. Immediately upon arrival I felt welcomed from the students waiting at the airport to pick us up, along with orientation the very next day. UNYP provided multiple opportunities within the first week to meet new friends and familiar faces. Studying at a new school in a new country can be intimidating, but UNYP did the most to decrease those nerves. Throughout the semester, I was able to build relationships with my professors and learn about their stories; UNYP being a huge international school means students and professors come from all over the world which is super cool. I even met a professor who lived about an hour from me at home in the US! The atmosphere of the small school allowed me to feel comfortable and be friendly with my peers. Outside of UNYP, I had the opportunity to travel around Prague, as well as to many other countries around Europe. In total, I made it to about 12 different countries, from taking weekend trips to spending extra time in Europe even after my semester ended. I could share about my experience forever; my good memories and friends are never ending, but then we would be here for hours. Overall I had an incredible experience from the girls I was living with, getting lucky to spend my semester in the beautiful city of Prague, and having a great school like UNYP to provide a great education and further advance my studies in and out of the classroom. To anyone thinking about studying abroad especially at UNYP, do it!

I loved my time at UNYP. The uni is not so big, so you easily meet new people and you will always know someone at an event or in the classroom. The uni is located in one of the most beautiful neughbourhoods in Prague, with many cafes and restaurants nearby. Plus the quality of education was very high, so I was very happy with my choice to go to UNYP. Would definitely recommend if you wanna meet new friends from all over the world and enjoy studying in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

I wish everyone could experience studying abroad at UNYP, because it was filled with everything you could ask for. Between the people, teacher, administration and living within the city was all wonderful, truly made this process so much easier and better.

Hello there! I did a summer session abroad in Prague, Czech Republic and it was the best 5 weeks of my life. From the courses offered, to the location of my apartment, to the friendliness of the staff, everything was amazing. I loved the two classes that I took. I took Czech cinema & film and Art & Architecture. There was never a boring day in Prague. There is endless things to do and the town is enriched with so much history. If I could change one thing I would have done both summer sessions (9 weeks) instead of just the one session I did. Prague is such an underrated place and you will fall in love with it just how my friends and I did! In my film class we got to go to local Czech cinemas and theaters and watch films directed by Czech directors. Every day in my art & architecture class was a field trip. We got to visit churches, castles, museums, and important town centers each day of class.

The housing and school were in an excellent location. I was part of the summer program so clubs were not really an option. I would have enjoyed if there were weekly (Wednesday night) local thing planned. I do see most of the town on my own but I think an optional weekly check in would be cool since its only five weeks. The first few days with all the info was a nice intro but that was pretty much all the info we got and were left to figure it out. Which is cool, but since social groups were limited, a weekly hang organized by the school for the first 2 weeks atleast would be helpful if you dont get along with your roommates.
