IFSA - IFSA STUDY IN PRAGUE
Prague, Czech Republic
WHY STUDY IN PRAGUE?
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of Central Europe’s oldest gems, but also one of its rising stars. Home to innovation, art and creativity, Prague is the gateway to the “new Europe” within the Czech Republic and neighboring Germany and Austria. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airport make Prague an ideal base from which to explore Europe. With a plethora of cafés, cathedrals, and museums, there is no shortage of local wonders to experience in Prague, and an excellent public transportation system allows you to traverse the city with ease.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Good news! You’ve just found your ticket to a memorable European experience that fits your budget. In Prague, you’ll delve into human rights, the ethics of technology, identity, psychology, architecture, and more at the IFSA Program Center in historic Villa Grébovka, in the heart of the city.
Discussions come to life through authentic connections with Czech people via meetups, meals, excursions, internships, and more. After class, head to a café with friends to savor chlebícky— open-faced sandwiches—or explore the city’s many wonders, including quaint Old Town, the 11th century castle, Vyšehrad, and David Cerný’s street art.
