Interest in studying in the Czech Republic among international students has been steadily increasing. However, applicants from non EU countries often face lengthy visa procedures and limited capacity at Czech embassies, which complicate their entry into higher education.

Success is not just about performance, numbers or external recognition. According to mental coach and university lecturer Marian Jelínek, real progress starts much closer. Inside our own inner world. In this in depth interview, he explains why the ability to work with thoughts, emotions and habits is essential and why long term success cannot exist without it.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a natural part of how companies operate. Yet many organisations encounter a fundamental obstacle when implementing AI. The challenge is not technology, but people. Without a well-designed learning strategy, AI often turns into an underused tool that brings uncertainty, resistance to change and employee frustration instead of growth.

Leadership is shaped where theory meets consequence. In his commentary, Kryštof Hanzal explains why startup ecosystems have become one of the most effective environments for developing real leadership skills. By integrating education with entrepreneurship, acceleration and investment practice, NEWTON University creates a space where students face real responsibility, rapid decision-making and direct market feedback. The article explains why exposing future leaders to uncertainty early on is essential and why leadership development cannot be separated from real-world experience.

Founding a company at the age of twenty, obtaining financial licences abroad and building an international fintech group from Czechia may sound unrealistic. David Kašper, CEO of Purple Holding and a graduate of NEWTON University, has done exactly that. His journey, however, was marked by major crises and moments close to burnout.

The startup environment acts as an uncompromising mirror. It amplifies strengths and weaknesses alike and quickly exposes the real limits of founders and their teams.

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.

Michaela Góralczyková has been practising martial arts since childhood. No wonder – her father owns a martial arts club where she practically grew up from the age of six. She started with jiu-jitsu, but then tried kickboxing, which became her lifelong passion.

Stepping onto the grounds of Magdalen College feels like entering another world. The air is calm, the stone walls ancient, and everywhere you look you sense that for centuries, ideas born here have gone on to change the world. This year, twelve students and alumni from NEWTON University spent a week in this environment.

The first weeks at university can be quite a ride. One day you are looking for a classroom, the next you are trying to sort out enrolment, and in the evening you realise you have no idea where to get the lecture notes. Add to that a new city, lots of people and the feeling that everyone else knows more than you.

In collaboration with Daria Hvížďalová, NEWTON University has launched a new hybrid MBA programme in English – AI in Business.
