Es una gran oportunidad estudiar arte en un centro cultural como Praga. Los profesores, a menudo artistas o importantes teóricos de la escena contemporánea checa, aprovechan las amplias posibilidades y dan sus conferencias fuera de las aulas. Ganar la beca por méritos también me motiva a dar lo mejor de mí. Ninguna otra universidad inglesa en Praga ofrece a sus estudiantes una educación como AAU.

AAU helped me grow into myself and taught me valuable life lessons that I will carry with me forever. Living and studying in Prague shaped my experience by giving me a beautiful city to call home and friends from all around the world. I learned how to take the time to find a good social and academic balance at AAU with a safe and kind community. AAU prepared me for life beyond university, giving me a more worldly view that will benefit me abroad.
