Tento příspěvek je odpovědí na otázky jednoho z rodičů adresovanou našemu prorektorovi Pavlovi Semerádovi. Dozvíte se v něm, jestli vás připravíme na zkoušky na daňového poradce a jak je to s naším bakalářským studiem v Praze.

The world of work is changing faster than university curricula. Higher education institutions are under growing pressure to prepare students for a reality that cannot be fully captured in textbooks or lecture halls. Experts agree that without a strong and systematic link to practice, quality education is no longer possible.

Stereotypical images of accountants quietly tapping away at their computers were definitively shattered by the first edition of the Taxathlon Challenge. This high-energy competition, running from October to November 2025, revealed accounting as the brain behind successful business. The final held at the Prague Congress Centre confirmed that where others see only columns of numbers, future experts uncover real stories and strategic challenges.

Studium na vysoké škole je velkou investicí do budoucna. Je ale také spojeno s náklady, které byste měli být schopni alespoň částečně pokrýt už během studia. V tomto článku vám povíme, jaké máte možnosti financování, abyste nemuseli zbytečně zatěžovat rodinný rozpočet.

Po čtyřech letech dochází na Vysoké škole Sting k významné akademické změně. Vedení přebírá nový rektor Roman Brauner. Společně s prorektorem pro vzdělávací činnost Pavlem Semerádem a stávajícím prorektorem pro strategii a rozvoj Davidem Králem přináší ambiciózní vizi modernizace a posílení prestiže této vzdělávací instituce.

Na Vysoké škole Sting propojujeme teorii s praxí. A na praxi si dáváme obzvláště záležet. Pravidelně proto zveme do výuky zkušené daňové poradce, auditory a zástupce Finanční správy České republiky. V zimním semestru to byli Jan Brantl, Natália Šenková a Václav Čepelák.

Modern higher education must extend far beyond the walls of lecture halls. In an interview with Komora magazine, Veronika Koleňáková describes how the NEWTON University Group purposefully connects academic studies with real-world business and practice.

Universities should do more than just mechanically pass on information. Jiří Koleňák, CEO of the NEWTON University Group, explains in an interview for Komora magazine why developing leadership and a willingness to accept personal responsibility is the true key to success in the job market.

Do you ever ask yourself at work, 'Is this all there is?' Business mentor and head of our NEWTON Business Accelerator, Margareta Křížová, explains in the Glanc Talk podcast why we should listen to our bodies more and stop being afraid to step out of a comfortable but boring routine.

Mindless bargain hunting is shifting toward conscious consumerism and eco-friendly choices. Czech consumers are increasingly waking up to the environmental and financial costs of fast fashion. Where are our shopping habits heading, and why does it pay off to choose quality over quantity?

Age is just a number and the perfect time for an inventory of your skills. Business mentor and head of our NEWTON Business Accelerator, Margareta Křížová, dispels myths about post-50 careers in a recent interview with Český Rozhlas, sharing advice on how to successfully embrace major life transitions.

A great product without paying customers is just an expensive hobby. Margareta Křížová, the head of our NEWTON Business Accelerator, reveals in a new interview why startups need to stop hiding behind perfect logos and start facing the real market instead.

Changing your career direction after fifty is not stepping away from the stage. More often, it marks the beginning of a new chapter. Business mentor and investor Margareta Křížová shows that experience can be one of the greatest advantages in today’s labour market. And that the courage to start again may become one of the best investments in your future.

Originally from the United States, Rob Westbrook arrived in Central Europe to reconnect with his family’s Austrian heritage and eventually made Brno his long-term home. At NEWTON University he teaches much more than English or mathematics. His work focuses on nurturing critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and empathy in a new generation of students. In this interview, he reflects on why Brno became such a significant place for him, what gives NEWTON its distinctive sense of community, and why the human presence in teaching matters more than ever in an age defined by rapid technological change.

“Me first” sounds suspicious in leadership. Almost like admitting weakness, failure or a lack of integrity. We tend to admire leaders who endure more than others, push themselves to the limit, operate under long-term pressure and sacrifice themselves for the team. Yet this is exactly where one of the most harmful myths of modern leadership begins. Without the ability to put yourself first, you cannot carry responsibility for others in a sustainable, healthy or high-quality way.

In leadership, certainty rarely shows up in advance. Yet many people keep waiting for it: for more information, clearer instructions, calmer times, better conditions. The reality of leading is different. You have to act long before everything makes sense.

You don’t become a leader by promotion but by understanding. Only when you stop relying on authority and start listening do you realise that leadership isn’t about managing people, it’s about awakening them. We spoke with Assoc. Prof. Emil Velinov, guarantor of our MBA Strategic Leadership programme, about why being a manager is not enough and why the biggest transformations happen outside your comfort zone.

He left PowerPoint slides at the door. Instead, he brought artists, entrepreneurs, athletes and creators to NEWTON University – people whose stories opened a different world for students.

You may feel that additional years of study are just a waste of time that you could otherwise devote to building a career. The opposite is true. If you are considering whether to continue or leave school for good, look at the hard market data – it speaks clearly in favor of continuing.

You have your Bachelor’s degree in hand. Congratulations! You might be tempted to jump straight into the workforce and forget about textbooks for good. Hold on. Before you decide, take a look at your growth from a long-term perspective.

With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), some institutions have started to abolish final theses altogether, arguing that their original purpose is fading and that they can be too easily generated. The opposite view is increasingly proving to be true.

From a small student project to a sought after production hub attracting business leaders and successful podcast creators.

Congratulations. You’ve earned your Bachelor’s—a degree that proves you understand the fundamentals and know how to see things through. But let’s be honest: is that enough for you? In 2026, as the line between human intelligence and technology blurs, a Bachelor’s is no longer the 'finish line.' In today’s world, a Bc. degree is merely a ticket that gets you through the door. If you want to play in the major leagues, you have to go further.

Most students don’t experience final exams in peace, and there’s no real reason to pretend otherwise. At a certain stage of studies, there is simply a lot going on, pressure builds up, and the mind tends to perceive everything more intensely than usual. At some point, several years of your studies, work, and effort are being evaluated all at once. Suddenly, it no longer feels like a regular exam period.
