TESTIMONIALS

“When studying there, I loved it. The school taught me how to dislearn, how to think alone and critically and not buy into mainstream propaganda called education.”

Tomáš Sedláček Chief Macroeconomic Strategist at ČSOB, the largest Czech bank author of international bestseller The Economics of Good and Evil

“… The quality of teachers and their individual approach to students, a great

selection of German language lectures and the possibility of studying abroad, linking study to practice and the standard of other students, which I continue to meet frequently in my job. All this, along with an interesting study, provided me with invaluable qualifications for my professional life.”

Tomáš Jelínek Managing Director at Czech-German Fund for the Future
