You never know where your ambition will take you

I came to Prague to start a career in business, take advantage of the opportunities here and one day start my own company. NEWTON University offered me everything I needed: studying in English, learning from experienced teachers, and a hybrid schedule that fits my tennis and work life. The teachers are specialists in the field — they know what they’re talking about and can teach you based on the real life experiences and difficult decisions they had to make. We can ask them questions and give them our opinion.

Global Business and Management feels like a big, supportive family, making studying fun. The teachers at NEWTON share cool real-world stuff, not just boring theories. Global Business and Management and NEWTON let us juggle work and studies, and being with other students doing the same is like having a bunch of friends supporting each other. In a nutshell, my time here has been great.

NEWTON University is a combination of the two most important factors for developing the next generation of business leaders: the highly valued experience and in-depth knowledge of the faculty, and a proactive alumni community to which you will belong for the rest of your life.  As an international student, I am sure that these connections will help me build a successful business anywhere on the planet.

As a half-Czech, half-Spanish individual, I decided to study in Prague because something was calling me here. I chose NEWTON University because of the opportunities and skills that this school can provide for my future self. My favourite subjects are Marketing and Psychology. However, NEWTON is also a great place for blending traditions and cultures, which occurs during International Evenings. It’s about meeting new, amazing people and having exciting experiences.

I was positively surprised by Financial Markets or Human Resources Management, which will definitely contribute to my career as a professional. Networking and making new friends was easy for me, as an extrovert. At NU, you have to work seriously, without taking yourself too seriously. The atmosphere was hard-working, motivating, pushing me to do my best, yet filled with cheerful people.

I like that NEWTON University combines a lot of practice with theory. The main benefits are the international surroundings and the opportunity to travel abroad — spending one semester in the US was an enriching experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone. 

It was easy to acclimatize to living in this beautiful city. The Czech culture is slightly different, but in the end, not significantly so. The classes are great, and the limited number of students allows us to ask questions to the teachers easily. I particularly appreciated the organisation of the exam period, during which we could fully focus on our exams, which was very comfortable.

I chose to study at NEWTON because I wanted to learn from people with real life experience in the areas they are teaching, rather than just theoretical knowledge. I study online, and this programme gives me the flexibility to fit lectures and classes around my family life and work commitments.
