Success Stories
Graduates of Anglo-American University in Prague have a wide array of employment and international study opportunities at their disposal. Our alumni body is proud to include a growing number of working professionals, including government officials, ambassadors, company owners, and top managers from international companies such as Xerox, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Raiffeisenbank, and all of the “Big 4” firms, PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG.
When asked about what they learned during their time at AAU University, our graduates often mention the benefits of studying in an international environment where cultural differences led them towards new and innovative methods of problem solving and negotiation. Our education is intellectually challenging, encourages initiative and decisiveness, and promotes diplomacy and collaboration – characteristics which are highly valued in the professional world.

Michal Hron, 2016 Alumnus
Before starting our interview, I tried to recall how I met Michal Hron. I’m unsure if it was a shared class or a mutual friend, but what I can definitely tell you is that Michal is one of those people at AAU that staff, faculty and fellow students alike know by name…
Kamila Q. Suchomel, 2016 Alumna
In 2014, AAU met Kamila Suchomel. She’s the living definition of bubbly, but turns into a serious intellect on a dime when talking about international humanitarianism and development, and has possibly been the most involved AAU community member in the school’s history…

As I am about to begin a new chapter in my life and enter the ‘real world,’ I like to look back at all the things and individuals who have helped me turn into the person I am today. Anglo American University is a place I will always come back to, whether it is during a conversation I’m having with someone, a sweet memory of my time in this wonderful city or an actual visit to Prague…
Malika Vitarigova, 2015 Alumna
While pedaling my Rekola bike to meet Malika in one of Holešovice many trendy cafes, I simultaneously pedalled through thoughts of how we met… It was one of those classic AAU conundrums, where you don’t exactly know which class or mutual friend it was, but you just know them, you know?
Katherine Dedukh, 2014 Alumna
If you studied at AAU between 2011 and 2014, you may of been used to seeing a pretty vintage blue bike outside of the Lazarska campus and its owner, Katherine Dedukh, somewhere nearby.

She’s used her studies to worked with Prague Radio, Russia Today and Estonia’s Public Broadcast, and she got her Master of Global Marketing at York University in the UK.

Johana Sedláčková, 2013 Alumna
On November 24th, I had the pleasure to sit down with Johana Sedláčková Vamberská for a coffee, just across the road from her office. I hadn’t seen her for a few of years since she finished her Bachelor’s in International Relations at AAU, but her name and presence certainly had not faded as I have heard about her continuing her studies at Oxford and spearheading a new poetry sharing app called Poetizer. So, I was able to get the scoop on what she’s been up to, and also a bit about where this alumna came from…
