STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE AT AAU

Located in the historic center of Prague inside the restored Thurn-Taxis Palace, Anglo-American University provides students a truly international education in the heart of Europe. AAU was founded in 1990 as the first private institution in the Czech Republic to use English as the language of instruction, combining American and British academic principles with Central European traditions. In 2016 AAU became the only higher education institution in the Czech Republic to receive both Czech and American accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, thus providing a double guarantee of educational quality and academic programs that are recognized globally.
