“We are a group of friends from different parts of the Czech Republic, with different backgrounds, who met while studying for the Bachelor's in Graphic Design. The structure of the programme, and especially the teachers, were very open to individual interests. Thanks to such support, each of us learnt how to use our skills to bring the best results to any project. The university also prepared us well for our professional lives through assignments with real clients. We learnt how to present our ideas and what was necessary for 'surviving'. After our studies and work experience, we decided to form our own agency, and together with another friend we have now started our own multi-disciplinary studio in Prague.” Lukáš Chládek, Jonáš Nobile, Daniel Quisek (Netvarec)
Full-time students can expect to attend daily classes, with 16 hours per week in class, plus additional workshops & guest lectures. Further independent learning and group work is expected.
If you start the programme in February, there is a semester break between finishing year 2 and starting year 3, which begins in September only. During this semester you can undertake an internship or classes from another programme. The time to complete the programme is 3.5 years.

Anna Avagian, Berdie
Berdie is a little bird, that has a lot of 'tea' to spill when it comes to the ugly cancer that took over her body. Berdie carries around a what she likes to call a 'demonic chemo machine', because she is undergoing very complicated therapy. As a survivor of cancer, Anna developed her idea into a web comic to support young children with cancer and the character of Berdie was created to share the struggles and challenges of having cancer at a young age in a light-hearted, relatable and interesting way.

The benefits of the British University system? Well for starters Czech art schools are lacking in practical areas, says Vu Minh Hieu, a Graphic Design graduate of PCU. The university also develops multi-disciplinary artists, and their assignments and projects are based on the active involvement of students in real-life job briefs from local and international clients
On the 28th of May, graduating students from Graphic Design held a public presentation demonstrating their final projects.
The exhibition was hybrid which allowed for all 22 projects to be presented live either from the Bishop's Court Campus in Prague 1 or from home for those who could not be present physically. The event was livestreamed to Facebook. You can also check out their projects in more detail at their exhibition website here.
In early 2021, seventeen second year Graphic Design students had the opportunity to pitch a book cover concept, layout and promotional video to Czech publishing company Nakladatelstvi Akropolis. They chose Gesui Mirzo’s concept and the book is now printed and has been distributed to bookstores across the Czech Republic. We reached out to Gesui to hear all about the project and what inspired her cover design.
