Student Life & Environment

Student life is distributed between MUP’s Strašnice and Jarov buildings and the wider city of Prague. The university lists relaxation areas, a café-bistro, secure Wi-Fi, bicycle racks, ISIC and ALIVE student cards, and an MUP Sports Club. Its two multimedia studios allow students to practice camera work, studio presentation, reporting, and editing. These resources may be especially relevant to media students, but they are part of the wider student-services environment. The Jiří Hájek Specialised Library in Strašnice supports the university’s teaching fields through books, journals, dissertations, and electronic resources. Services include lending, interlibrary loans, research support, remote database access, and guidance for bachelor’s and master’s thesis work. MUP also states that its Prague buildings are wheelchair accessible. Its School without Barriers program provides structured support for students with physical disabilities, although applicants should confirm individual accommodation needs directly with the university. Housing requires advance planning. MUP explicitly says that it has no accommodation facilities of its own. It instead lists private student residences and dormitories operated by other Prague institutions, warns that capacity is limited, and does not guarantee a place. Full-time students whose permanent residence is outside Prague may be eligible to apply for an accommodation scholarship, subject to the applicable rules. International students should budget independently and contact providers early rather than assuming university-managed housing.

Location & Surroundings

MUP operates in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, from two non-residential academic buildings. Its main site is at Dubečská 900/10 in Prague 10–Strašnice, while the second is at Učňovská 100/1 in Prague 9–Jarov. Student applicants and visitors should check which building hosts their teaching or service appointment; the two addresses should not be treated as one contiguous campus. The setting offers access to a large European capital rather than a self-contained university town. This can support study in international relations, business, media, tourism, and public administration by placing students near public institutions, companies, cultural organizations, and an international population. Those advantages do not amount to guaranteed internships or employment, and commute time will depend on where a student lives. Because MUP provides no university-owned residence, location decisions are closely tied to Prague’s private rental and dormitory market. The university recommends several external providers and dormitories run by other institutions but states that accommodation is not secured. Prospective students should compare travel time to Strašnice or Jarov, contract conditions, deposits, and total living expenses before committing to housing.

Costs & Career Outcomes

MUP’s current tuition page lists annual fees rather than a single university-wide price. Czech-taught bachelor’s and master’s programs, excluding Psychology, cost CZK 65,000 when paid for the academic year in full. English-taught bachelor’s and master’s programs and the bachelor’s program in Psychology cost CZK 85,000 for full-year payment. Two-instalment plans cost more in total: CZK 34,000 per instalment for the standard Czech-language category and CZK 44,000 per instalment for English programs and Psychology. The application fee is CZK 750 for bachelor’s and master’s study. Doctoral tuition is listed separately at CZK 30,000 per academic year for full-time students without a doctoral bursary and for part-time students. A limited number of full-time doctoral bursaries may provide a full tuition waiver based on admission results and the university’s fee rules; applicants should not assume that waiver. The doctoral application fee is CZK 1,500. These figures come from the official fee summary accessed in August 2026, but the page does not clearly label every amount with an academic year, so applicants should confirm the binding fee list and study contract before payment. MUP does not publish verified graduate salary or placement outcomes on the sources used here. Career-relevant opportunities include Erasmus+ practical traineeships, which can last two to twelve months, and selected double-degree study. These opportunities may build international experience but require selection and do not guarantee employment. Living costs are additional, and university-owned room and board cannot be budgeted because MUP has no residence facilities.
