PCU offers five exceptional Master's degrees to advance your knowledge, skills and career prospects while continuing at work. All the programmes have been developed in collaboration with industry to ensure high relevance to your chosen field.
“When people face difficulties making career progress it's often because they lack postgraduate qualifications, which can be tough to pursue due to work obligations.”
Stefano Cavagnetto, Dean of The School of Business.
Balancing work and study
Both the MSc in International Management and the MSc in Computing are available in either Intensive (three-semester) or Standard (four-semester) formats, while the MA in Fine Art and the MA in Future Design are both low-residency two-year programmes.
Degrees in Business and Computing are offered in global blended format as well as on-campus. Blended learning makes use of online classes, providing the flexibility needed to successfully balance both work and study. These are supplemented by a residential component in Prague, either two weekends per semester or one week at the end of each semester. Note that our most recently introduced programme, Master’s in Leadership and Strategic Management, is offered only in global blended format.

The Fine Art and Future Design programmes are run from the university’s studios and classrooms, but are low-residency, with 8-9 hours of class time a week, plus additional workshops & guest lectures. More information about the structure of these programmes can be found in the programme links.
Relevance to Industry
PCU regularly talks with leading professionals and academics in the UK and Europe to discover areas where employee skill sets need boosting. For example, Master’s in Leadership and Strategic Management has been designed specifically to teach those already at executive level, or those who aspire to senior management roles how to be more effective leaders.

Want to change or enhance your career?
Master’s degrees are perfect if you’re looking to move into a different field or change job. Equally, if you’re planning on staying with your current employment, both Business and Computing Masters’ degrees contain project-based modules allow you to implement learning directly into the workplace. Fine Art & Future Design have a residential component where students either undertake research or work within a company or institution.

Global Blended Degrees
Once viewed as a weaker substitute for learning on-campus, online degrees are gaining on their traditional counterparts amid the pandemic both in the Czech Republic and the world at large. PCU has been offering both on-campus and online programmes toward several degrees and professional qualifications for over a decade.
For Business & Computing students, all three Master’s degrees are offered in Global blended format.
The "blended" aspect is what separates PCU’s programmes from other distance learning programmes. Students enjoy residential blocks (one week or 2 weekends) each semester which give them the opportunity to meet with professors and other students for face-to-face teaching and networking.
Students, regardless of where they are based and with classes and consultations set outside of working hours, can focus on their area of study and with the help of a professional faculty, can fully research, discover and create innovative solutions.
