Welcome to Jan Amos Komensky University Prague

Jan Amos Komensky University is located in the beautiful and historic city of Prague, situated in the vibrant district of Zizkov. Our students will find an intimate and friendly atmosphere set within the walls of our historic buildings.

We specialize in adult education, special education, social and mass communication, as well as European economic and public administration studies. The orientation of the University has been designed in line with the need for development of adult education and education for people with disabilities in the Czech Republic as well as the need for preparation of successful specialists.

Jan Amos Komensky University Prague has gradually attained a solid position within the tertiary education market as the largest Czech institution of its kind and the first and only private university (as defined by the Czech Higher Education Act), successfully filling the gaps of the national tertiary education system both in terms of subjects offered and the regional coverage.

The University offers fully accredited university studies in the Czech language including degree courses in English (European Economic and Public Administration, Adult Education) as well as certified life-long learning courses. We've been quite active in the field of research and development participating in various national and international projects (Leonardo, Tempus, etc. as well as being members of various associations such as the European University Association. Our research activities cover, in particular, special education, adult education, human resources development, methodologies of education, and communication & media.

As a continuation in the long-standing tradition of Komensky Academy, (a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization which has been engaged in the education of adults and the education of those with specific needs since 1991) its systematic development is based on the cooperation with professional workplaces in both the Czech Republic and abroad. Established in 2001, Jan Amos Komensky University offers inventive programmes and has a continuously expanding student base.
