  • Reading for Knowledge

  • Applied Research Methods and Integrated Skills for Academic Success

  • Academic English, Academic Listening and Speaking, Academic Writing and Public Speaking

  • Applied Ethics

With a unique focus on transferable skills and knowledge, GCAS’ Study Abroad program empowers students to succeed both their professional life as well as in their post-graduate studies.

options to join and ACCOMmODATION IN PRAGUE

There are two options for our students.

  • Cohort A: Prague Study Abroad

The Prague-based cohort will participate in courses and cultural programs in person, with the benefit of having traveling peers checking in with them during the classes, thanks to the hybrid model. For these students, accommodation, travel passes and insurance are organized by GCAS.

*Accommodation (Room/Lodging) in Prague will be organized for each student and is included in the tuition fee for the whole program.

  • Cohort B: Hybrid Study Abroad

This part of the cohort is for students who wish to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of hybrid learning while traveling in Europe (and beyond). There is a possibility to join the Prague cohort for programs and gatherings in person, but GCAS is not organizing accommodation and programs outside Prague (with the exception of the planned trips to Krakow, Vienna and Budapest).
