“For my professional path I need practical knowledge and experience. There is a need and a strong will for me being a capable manager for my team with the knowledge of trade, marketing and communications. Prague College was not only able to satisfy these needs and wishes but during only three years of studying gave me much more. The evening and weekend classes did not affect my working arrangements in any way. Exceptionally high-quality lecturers with a personal passion for teaching helped me with the theory and its practical usage in today's international marketplace. And what is even most important for me, Prague College made me bold and no longer afraid to pursue my own opinions in a professional way.”

Rajmond Berisha
MSc Computing, graduate

"I have always liked computing, especially programming, but I started at Prague College without any professional experience in IT. The beginning was tough, but due to the small class sizes, I enjoyed very close cooperation with my teachers and fellow students, which helped me a lot with my development."

Charlotte Vacková
BA (Hons) Fine Art Experimental Media, graduate

"I chose Prague College rather than a classical film school because I wanted to bring an edgier quality to my work. Prague College helped me to grow and see all the different options, as well as giving me as much support as I needed."

Lukáš Chládek, Jonáš Nobile & Daniel Quisek
BA (Hons) Graphic Design, graduates

"We are three friends who met while studying Graphic Design at Prague College. The school, structure of the programme, and especially the teachers were very open to individual interests. Thanks to such support, each of us developed various skills and learnt how to use them together, to bring the best results to any project. The school also prepared us well for our professional lives through assignments with real clients. We learnt how to present our ideas to people outside of the college and learnt what was necessary for “surviving”. After our studies and work experience in different studios, we decided to form our own agency and together with another friend we started our own multi-disciplinary studio in Prague."

Laura Kuklová
MA Future Design, graduate

"The MA Future Design programme opened my eyes in many ways; the navigation and feedback I received pushed me further out of my comfort zone and made me research and explore new areas. At the beginning of my studies I would have never thought my final project would be reaching into fields of artificial intelligence & participatory design. The experience showed me how interesting the connection of the design process and working with children is. I am now happy to be gathering further experience in the education industry."
