Studying the Psychology for Managers specialization at NEWTON University was, for me, not only about gaining valuable knowledge, but also an intensive lesson in balancing work, study, and life — and a chance to step out of my comfort zone. Three years full of AHA moments (and even more questions) proved to me that it was all worth it.
I learned to better understand myself and others, to challenge established patterns of thinking, and to handle stress with more perspective. The program opened up new professional and personal horizons, and I’m excited to keep building on them in the MBA program.

For my all-round development, and with a clear vision of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do in the future, I made a very important decision: I chose NEWTON for my university studies. To this day, I consider it one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

What your studies look like
The programme lasts 6 semesters and includes a compulsory internship. From the summer semester of the 2nd year, there is less classroom teaching as students focus on their placements, and in the 3rd year on writing their final thesis and preparing for the state final examinations.
The programme can also be completed in a blended format, delivered over 6 selected weekends per semester in Prague, Brno and Bratislava. This flexible mode of study preserves the full curriculum, and attendance at individual sessions is not a requirement for academic success. The teaching also reflects specific corporate and professional needs from practice.
