Partner Institution

The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) is a small, private institution located in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Vinohrady in Prague. Founded in 1998, UNYP is an inherently international institution with approximately 60 nationalities represented among its over 800 students. Courses are taught entirely in English following the American teaching style, which includes mandatory attendance, graded class participation, and continual assessment. Within small class environments, students are able to voice their thoughts and challenge ideas in a dynamic and respectful setting.

Admitted students should visit their Application Status Check regarding individual eligibility for Fall 2026 N.U.in locations.

Academics Overview: Please review the N.U.in Program Academics page to learn more about course offerings, your program’s academic handbook, and the timeline for course selection and academic advising.

Course Logistics: You will learn more about the host institution’s policies and expectations during on-site orientation.

Class Schedule: Information on course offerings will be made available in March 2026. You will receive your finalized class schedule when you arrive in Czech Republic during on-site student orientation in Prague. Before 2026 course offerings are made available, students can view the 2025 course offerings by visiting the 2025 N.U.in Program Curriculum page.

Textbooks: All N.U.in Czech Republic class textbooks will be available to students at no additional charge, either through UNYP’s online textbook system (Perlego), the UNYP library, online resources made available through Moodle, or a combination of the three.

Grading Scale: Students can learn more about the grading scale between Northeastern University and the University of New York in Prague in our location-specific academic handbooks. These handbooks will be made available during our pre-departure orientation this summer. Before our 2026 academic handbooks are published, students can refer to our 2025 Academic Handbooks on our N.U.in Academics page.

Academic Resources Abroad

Tutoring and additional support are available to all students. Please reach out–UNYP faculty, staff, and peers are ready to help. The following resources are available to you through UNYP:

Library: Built in 2019, the UNYP library is equipped with computer banks, printers, scanners, meeting rooms, computer workstations, and silent study spaces available for student use. UNYP has a private library on site which gives students access to approximately 17,000 physical books and digital publications, including resources such as ProQuest and Marketline. UNYP also utilizes an online textbook system called Perlego for the vast majority of its courses. Through Perlego, students are able to access almost all of their course materials at no additional cost. Any materials or textbooks not offered through Perlego are available as physical copies at the UNYP Library, meaning that N.U.in students do not have to purchase any textbooks for their courses.

University of Chemistry and Technology Campus (UCT): N.U.in students enrolled in Physics with Lab & General Chemistry, Physics for STEM with Lab and/or General Chemistry for STEM, will take these courses on the Dejvice Campus at UCT. Founded in 1952, UCT is an accredited research university and a leading center for chemistry research in Central Europe. The campus houses the Czech National Library of Technology, a state-of-the-art facility that is the largest and oldest library dedicated to science and technology literature in the Czech Republic. UCT is a direct commute on the Green Line from Namesti Miru to Dejvice and will take under 15 minutes of travel time. Guidance will be provided during on-site orientation in Prague on how to navigate to and access the UCT campus. In the meantime, there is a free virtual tour of the Dejvice Campus available in English here.

Tutoring: UNYP maintains a writing lab and a math tutoring service for all students with tutors available to support students in any math or writing related courses. Tutoring is offered by appointment.

Northeastern Peer Tutoring on Knack: Northeastern has partnered with Knack, a leading peer tutoring platform, to offer free peer tutoring to all Northeastern undergraduate students across its global network.
