School of Education
It’s often said that teaching is a calling. But it is also a path of continual growth and personal development, which demands hard work but is equally rewarding. The School of Education builds on the reputation and tradition established by its predecessor Akcent College, founded in 2008, by offering progressive learning, centred on teaching practice. The programmes are fully accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth & Sport and are led by skilled and dedicated educators in a supportive, international environment.
Programmes
Beyond the Classroom
During your studies you will learn how to create engaging content and develop advanced presentation skills. You can also take part in university-organised Educational Conferences and meet teachers from around Czech Republic and the world and hear about the latest research and teacher training methods. Our small class sizes, international environment and close mentoring from our friendly and experienced lecturers combine to provide the support and confidence to grow as a teacher.
