Our Strategic Partner: Teesside University

The beginning of our long-term partnership with Teesside University in the United Kingdom dates back to 2008 with the first approval of our BA (Hons) International Management degree. Over the years this has expanded into a strategic alliance in which all British Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes offered at Prague City University are approved and accredited by Teesside University. Prague City University applies all the same quality assurance processes and regulations related to the delivery and assessment of the degrees as Teesside University, while students get the full multicultural and international experience of studying at Prague City University.
