Reviews and Testimonials | NEWTON University

Alumni

If you're looking for a university that doesn’t just prepare you for the next exam but actually gives you a foundation for life after school, then NEWTON is the right choice. Studying at NEWTON helped me jump-start my career. The internships I completed in different companies and my year abroad taught me a lot and helped me figure out the direction I want to take. Thanks to the contacts and friendships I made, I always know who to turn to.

In my year, those who proactively made use of everything Newton offers left with thriving businesses, valuable contacts, internships, and mentoring. Those who studied passively left with just a diploma.

Alumnus of NEWTON University - Management with Psychology, founder of TopRecepty.cz, DobroKáva, TopPotraviny.cz, and Nesnězeno

NEWTON taught me how to assess and manage risks. I also learned to go straight to the root of problems instead of just treating symptoms. But the greatest benefit is the social network NEWTON provides. Years after graduation, all of my former classmates are running businesses – and our collaborations are thriving.

I am very satisfied with my studies at NEWTON University. When I was choosing a university, NU appealed to me mainly because of its strong focus on practice, which was particularly important to me, as I wanted to support and later work in our family business during my studies. In the specialisation Management and Entrepreneurship, the university guided me through various areas of business, where I worked on many projects related to our company – both individually and in groups. For me, the greatest benefit was developing the ability to work effectively in a team.

Alumna of NEWTON University - Global Business and Management

I value my studies at NEWTON University very highly. The school provided me not only with in-depth theoretical knowledge, but also with practical skills and tools that I could immediately apply in real-life situations. The interdisciplinary approach and the emphasis on connecting theory with practice prepared me for complex and demanding tasks in the field of leadership and management. The support from lecturers and access to a wide range of resources and literature enabled me to carry out thorough and high-quality research, which was also reflected in my thesis. I am grateful for the opportunities that studying at NEWTON University has given me and I believe this experience will help me succeed in my professional career.

Ing. Julie Byrtusová

Alumna of NEWTON University - Economics and Management

During my three years of study at NEWTON University, I learned the basics of almost every possible area of business. I gained a wealth of valuable experience through the mandatory internship, which is now a great advantage for me. Most importantly, I discovered what marketing actually is — and that it is the field I want to pursue in my future career. NEWTON helped me find what I truly enjoy and what fulfils me.

Alumna of NEWTON University - Marketing, Fashion & Luxury Brand Management with special interest in Menswear

As both a person and a coach, I see my own education and self-development as the foundation of my identity. In pursuing my further growth, NEWTON University was my preferred choice. The MSc in Mental Coaching in Sport and Business appealed to me not only because it is led by respected experts in the field, but also because of its content. During my studies, I gained a wide range of practical and theoretical approaches that I can apply and further develop in my coaching practice. I see this as a strong benefit for both my clients and my professional work. I also appreciate the pleasant and friendly environment that NU offers, which I believe contributed to the smooth and enjoyable progress of my studies, culminating in the successful defence of my final thesis. I would happily study at NEWTON University again.

Mgr. Luboš Mrklas, MSc.

Alumnus of NEWTON University – Mental Coaching in Sport and Business, Coach

As a manager with many years of experience in international companies, I originally joined NEWTON University mainly for the degree and to place my practical experience within a theoretical framework. However, during my studies, I discovered it gave me much more. I gained new perspectives on topics I thought I already knew, enhanced my competencies, met fantastic people among both professors and classmates, and thanks to all of this, I was able to reduce stress and manage my managerial role more effectively.

The Coaching for Managers programme will introduce you to modern leadership and management methods. Coaching is on the rise globally – a 2019 Forbes study named it one of the most effective tools for professional development and personal growth. In today’s fast-changing world, it is crucial for managers to master coaching techniques to respond quickly to change, support innovation and develop the full potential of their teams.

Ing. Soňa Staňková, DiS., PCC

Many current specialists, managers, and executives work daily with marketing tools or develop specific business strategies, yet they often lack a solid foundation in marketing. These fundamentals are essential for understanding the interconnectedness of marketing and the business environment, and for thinking about an organisation in a broader context. The ability to connect marketing theory with practice is therefore one of the key skills we focus on intensively with our students in the relevant subjects.

Ing. Denis Drexler, Ph.D.

Lecturer in the Professional Specialisation Marketing and Brand Management

At NEWTON, I am constantly inspired by being in contact with the younger generation – their way of thinking, their approach, and their use of technology. I bring students practical experience and the courage to do things differently. In return, I gain a fresh perspective that helps me grow both professionally and personally.

Mgr. Dominika Špirk, DiS.

Lecturer at the Centre for Marketing and instructor of the course Motivation and Performance Management. She specialises in working with technically oriented professions and in supporting leaders in building effective teams.

Knowing how to manage a company – processes, numbers, strategies – is one thing. But it's increasingly important to know how to lead people by creating an environment where they feel motivated and engaged. In management studies, company culture is never overlooked, because it’s what truly determines how people – and the company as a whole – work together.

Bc. Jakub-Marek Štěpán

Co-founder of the Institute for Corporate Culture, Management Consultant, Lecturer at NEWTON University

Companies around the world are under pressure to run their businesses sustainably. The unstrategic use of resources and neglect of environmental issues can threaten their long-term viability. Programme Economics and Sustainable Management is designed to prepare our graduates to respond to these emerging challenges.

Students

I chose this field because it combines creativity with practical skills – and that’s exactly what I enjoy. NEWTON attracted me not only with its study programmes but also with its individual approach and recommendations from friends. And I don’t regret it – I’m learning from professionals in practice, and it truly makes sense to me. Thanks to the flexible timetable, I can also manage my job. At the moment, I work in HR, but I would like to move into marketing soon, because that’s where I see my future. In my free time, I enjoy working out and deepening my knowledge – I’m currently attending a course at Ogilvy, one of the biggest marketing agencies. They select only 10 students for the course, and I’m proud to be one of them.

Viktorie Macháčková

Student at NEWTON University - Marketing and Brand Management

Originally, I wanted to study Innovative Entrepreneurship at ČZU. I was looking for a programme with plenty of practical experience, where I could actually create something during my studies. Luckily, things didn’t work out at ČZU, and on a friend’s recommendation, I chose NEWTON instead. He convinced me with the amazing approach of the lecturers, who are not afraid to say things as they really are. At the same time, I didn’t spend that much time at school, as I was often at training sessions or various events where I tried to gain some know-how. That’s exactly what makes NEWTON outstanding. Besides gaining a lot of practical knowledge, you also have plenty of time you can use effectively.

I am a former professional volleyball player, and I currently focus on marketing, event management, and sports on a daily basis. I study at NEWTON mainly because our school emphasises practical learning and we have many lecturers with real business experience.

Matouš Bittner

Student NEWTON University - Global Business and Management

From the very beginning, I felt great at NU. I knew this environment was the right place for me. At NEWTON, I rediscovered my strengths and self-confidence, and I am appreciated for every part of what makes me different. For example, my creativity—since I have just published my first book, and NEWTON has been a key bridge to reaching my first readers.

Anežka Vaňková

Student at NEWTON University - Marketing

Studying Global Business and Management feels like being part of a big family — and most of all, it’s fun. The teachers at NEWTON share real-world insights, not just boring theory. Global Business and Management and NEWTON make it possible for us to balance work and studies while spending time with fellow students in similar situations. NEWTON feels like having a group of friends who support each other. Simply put, my experience here is fantastic.

Asmatullah Ahmadzai

Student NEWTON University - Global Business and Management

Studying the Global Business and Management programme at NEWTON gave me the space to grow – both personally and professionally. During my studies, I started a business with a friend, which taught me more than any textbook ever could. I appreciated the flexibility that allowed me to combine school with real work experience – while still having the time and freedom to pursue internships in innovative technology and financial companies.
