About Psychology, Bachelor Degree - at University of New York in Prague

Psychology is one of the most popular majors worldwide. In addition to being one of the most fascinating and dynamic fields of science, it also provides a springboard for a wide range of opportunities for graduate study as well as exciting career choices.

The UNYP Bachelor in Psychology degree runs for a four-year period. Its aim is to provide students with a solid foundation in science – particularly the study of behavior and the mind – through theory and practical experience in all of the major fields of psychology. Basic courses emphasize scientific thought, critical thinking and analysis. More specialized courses address therapy and treatment of mental illness, cultural and family issues, as well as psychology in the workplace. Studies pave the way for two primary post-degree career choices: continuing on to pursue a graduate degree or direct entry into the workforce.

According to current school statistics, roughly 80% of UNYP psychology degree recipients continue on to complete master's and doctoral degrees from universities in Czech Republic and abroad. Our graduates have continued their studies locally at Charles University, Masaryk University and Palacky University or they have been accepted to schools abroad such as University College London, Kings College London, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and The New School for Social Research in New York.

Student reviews of University of New York in Prague

Find out what students say about University of New York in Prague

Maya Anna Drahokoupil

"As a student from multiple cultural backgrounds, I often felt like the odd one out in school and classes, as if I never fully belonged to one group or another. This often made it difficult to connect with peers, and I rarely felt fully comfortable in my learning environment.

When I discovered UNYP, which has welcomed international students from over 80 different nationalities, it reassured me that my unique background would not only be accepted but also valued. Instead of standing out as different, I found a place where diversity is the norm, where people share their cultures openly, and where I could continue to grow alongside many other international students."

Sara Crutcher, USA

"When choosing a city in which to study abroad, there were many options, but one was a clear cut above the rest – Prague. Not only would I get a chance to immerse myself in one of the richest cultures in Europe, but I would be provided with an opportunity to continue my classes at a top-notch school, the University of New York in Prague. If anyone is considering an exchange program, without question, I recommend making your way to the Czech Republic."

Justin Punzalan, Philippines

"Prague is one of Europe’s great cultural centers. Experiencing the city for a semester was really magical. UNYP helped me see the academic scene in a more international setting. Going to Prague and studying at UNYP were definitely decisions I won‘t regret."
