Student Clubs

There is much more to university life than simply attending class. Connecting with your peers and with your passions through extra-curricular activities can, together with your academic experience, give you the tools and experiences you will need to thrive as a person during and after your university experience.

UNYP has a number of student clubs and special interest groups that you can become involved with – from the dance club to the Psychology club. And if you would like to start a new student club we are happy to help you with this!

Every week at UNYP there are events and activities organized by UNYP’s student clubs and academic departments that welcome your participation.

Upcoming Events for UNYP students

*Please note – all UNYP student clubs and special interest groups are open only to students currently enrolled at UNYP. Participation in all student clubs and special interest groups are included in the UNYP Student Body Fee – meaning that there is no additional out-of-pocket costs for UNYP students to join.

Welcome to the Communication Studies Society!

The Communication Studies Society is intended to provide a forum for interaction and exploration among the UNYP community interested in communication and media issues. Specifically, the aim is to take issues out of the classroom and seek answers by engaging with the sources!

We want to go places, see things, ask questions, and be permanently out of the box!

What does that mean?

Ever wonder how some companies get away with misleading advertising? Attending a meeting at the Council for Radio and TV Broadcasting can provide insight. Feel that journalists are contributing to negative feelings in society with their stories about refugees? Visiting major news organizations like CNN or Reuters and asking journalists could be a solution.
Want to work at Disney? Google? Ogilvy? Our Communication Alumni are at the best companies and can tell you what it is like.
Want to do some academic research to help you get into a good grad school? Let’s put on a conference! Want to meet communication students from other Czech universities and compare what you study? Why not set up an exchange and share ideas!

Come to our meetings and let’s share ideas about what we are interested in, and how to go about taking our curiosity out of the classroom and into the wider community.

MUNYP has emerged as an initiative for creating a platform for young scholars interested in international relations to discuss global current affairs.

Since Fall 2015, our club has grown considerably in size, with students showing dedication, passion and enthusiasm in meetings and their increasing interest in participating in domestic or international model UN conferences.

In 2018 we grew even further, by holding our first conference at the university. Since then our yearly international high school conference has grown to an outstanding group of 115 students from many different countries. And we look forward to hosting many more successful conference in the future.

In the UNYP MultiMedia Club, we wish to build a community of students who enjoy photography, videography, editing or other media related activities. We want to give students the opportunity to bond with others who share similar interests and take part in various events including photo walks, workshops and media coverage for UNYP activities.

We are looking forward to having a group of active students that would like to share their own ideas, offer feedback and partake in discussions about various media related topics.

We hope that the UNYP MultiMedia Club will be a fun space for students to let enjoy something they are passionate about with others whilst also improving their skills and knowledge.

Looking forward to seeing you at our next club meeting or event!

The UNYP Psychology club is an academic club that is focused on creating a community of people who love psychology. We organize both educational and entertaining events, such as seminars and workshops with guest speakers, movie nights, psychology quiz nights, trips, and yoga sessions!

Our club is open to all students regardless of their major or year of study. We also strive to be a voice for Psychology students to represent them in the school since we directly work with the Faculty. Annually, the Psychology Club officers help with the International Student Research Conference (ISRC) organization: an event where students can present their own research!

We try to research and compile resources that will help you in your studies and career as a psychology student.

If you are interested in psychology and wish to find fellow enthusiasts, we are waiting for you!
