Career Development at UNYP

Choosing a university is an investment in your future career. At University of New York in Prague, the Career Office supports students throughout their studies through structured advising, internship guidance, employer engagement, and CareerXpo (university career fair).

We are not an employment agency. Our role goes beyond matching CVs to job openings. Through personalized advising, skills development, and direct interaction with employers, we help students build professional readiness and transition confidently into internships and graduate employment.

Internships: Professional Experience During Your Studies

Internships are a key component of employability at UNYP. Many degree programs incorporate or strongly encourage internship experience as part of professional preparation.

The Career Office supports students by:

• Sharing internship opportunities from employer partners
• Providing application and interview preparation guidance
• Facilitating connections with organizations across industries
• Supporting students throughout the internship process

Internships allow students to build professional credentials, develop workplace skills, and expand industry networks while completing their degree. This combination of academic study and practical experience strengthens graduate employment prospects.

Because internship requirements and opportunities vary by degree program, prospective students are encouraged to contact the Admissions team for program-specific information.
