You are not alone. While there are ways you can maximize your studying, there are also ways your community and university can help. 51����is here to help on every step of your learning journey.

For years, many students viewed law and politics as distant subjects reserved for courtrooms, governments, or cable news debates. Today, that is changing fast.

Searches related to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential records, presidential immunity, and executive power have surged across Google and social media platforms in recent months. What might once have been considered a purely American legal issue has become part of a much larger global conversation. One that touches democracy, accountability, political power, media influence, and the future of international institutions.

And students are paying attention.

Not simply because of politics, but because they are beginning to realize something much deeper:

The legal decisions shaping today’s headlines will influence the future they inherit tomorrow.

At the center of the discussion is the question of presidential authority and accountability. Can political leaders act beyond the reach of legal systems? How should democratic institutions respond when political power and constitutional limits collide? And perhaps most importantly; who ultimately protects democracy when institutions themselves are tested?

These questions are no longer confined to one country.

Across Europe, Latin America, and beyond, societies are wrestling with similar concerns:

One court ruling in Washington can now influence conversations in Brussels, Prague, São Paulo, or Seoul within hours. In an interconnected world, legal systems do not operate in isolation anymore. Law has become global.

For students considering careers in international law, diplomacy, politics, journalism, public policy, or human rights, this shift matters enormously.

A generation ago, many students chose legal studies primarily to become lawyers. Today’s students are entering the field for broader reasons.

They want to understand:

They are also increasingly aware that future global challenges will not be solved within a single country or legal framework.

Artificial intelligence, migration, cybersecurity, climate policy, freedom of speech, international conflict, digital privacy, and global governance all require professionals capable of thinking across borders.

This is one reason why programs focused on International & European Legal Studies are attracting growing interest among globally minded students.

Studying law today is no longer only about memorizing legislation or understanding national court systems.

It is about learning how legal, political, economic, and cultural systems interact internationally.

Students need to be able to analyze:

This requires a broader educational environment — one that combines legal studies with international perspectives, political analysis, and critical thinking.

And increasingly, students are looking to Europe for that experience.

For many North American and international students, Europe represents something increasingly appealing:

Cities like Prague have become especially attractive because they offer students a unique combination of history, political relevance, affordability, safety, and access to the rest of Europe.

Studying in Europe also changes the educational experience itself.

Students are exposed daily to:

This creates a very different kind of learning environment from what many students experience at home.

The debates surrounding presidential authority and Supreme Court rulings are ultimately about more than politics.

The next generation of professionals entering law, diplomacy, policy, journalism, and international affairs will need to understand these systems deeply. Not only nationally, but globally.

Because the future will not simply be shaped by technology or economics.

It will also be shaped by the people capable of understanding how societies govern themselves, protect democratic principles, and navigate moments of instability.

And for students searching for an education connected to the realities of the modern world, there has rarely been a more relevant time to study International & European Legal Studies.

Luckily, there are lots of activities for every kind of person: the foodie, the outdoorsy, the active, and the adventurous. Here are free and affordable student-friendly activities around Prague that are a must as a new or experienced Praguer.

Farmers Markets

Every week there are regular markets all around Prague, and special pop ups to look forward to.

Swimming

When it begins to get really hot, don’t fear the river! While it might look unappealing in the centre, there are lots of places where locals swim and enjoy a refreshing activity—like boating, rafting, or surfing.

Stvanice island is a great spot for swimming where the water is surprisingly cold and refreshing on a hot day and there are grassy areas to lounge at—of course there is also a beer garden nearby. Here you can also get your surf on or white water raft in the Vltava at .

Tato oslava spojuje to, co všichni Češi milují: jídlo, pití a společně strávený čas. Restaurace po celé zemi budou mít na svém jídelním lístku husu jako hvězdu svatomartinské show. Jak ale tato tradice vznikla?

Svatý Martin z Tours byl římský voják z dnešního Maďarska. Byl kanonizován a proslul svým soucitem a štědrostí - proslul tím, že rozřízl svůj plášť napůl, aby se podělil s mrznoucím žebrákem. Den, kdy se slaví, tradičně připadá na dobu po žních, kdy se slaví svátky a začínají přípravy na Vánoce.

A teď k té huse: ta pochází ze staré legendy, kdy se Martin, ukrytý mezi hejnem hus, chtěl vyhnout tomu, aby se stal novým biskupem. Jejich hlasité troubení však cizince prozradilo a upevnilo jeho spojení s husami. Kromě toho, protože se jednalo o období, kdy si zemědělci díky úrodě odnášeli domů více peněz, bylo pojídání masa - v tehdejším typickém jídelníčku vzácného - způsobem oslavy.

V každé restauraci vás čeká pomalu pečená husa s knedlíky a zelím, ale každý podnik má něco svého. K jídlu se podává také vlastní svatomartinské víno, první víno z poslední sklizně.

Přesně v 11:11 11 11. listopadu vinaři a nadšenci po celé zemi odšpuntují první láhev vína, takže se připravte na láhev, kterou v tomto období najdete ve většině obchodů s potravinami. Můžete očekávat svěží a lehce perlivou chuť s nižším obsahem alkoholu.

Ochutnejte poprvé český svátek a užijte si hostinu!

Bakalářské studium v oboru Studie výtvarného umění: Ateliérová a kurátorská studia zaměření rozšiřuje teoretický základ oboru Studia výtvarného umění a nabízí studentům užší interakci s tvůrčími a manažerskými aspekty světa umění. Program vyučují různorodí učitelé z řad umělců, akademiků a profesionálů působících na místní i mezinárodní umělecké scéně. Studenti nejprve rozvíjejí dovednosti v tradičních uměleckých žánrech kresby a malby v kombinaci s novými mediálními formami, které mohou později uplatnit při správě sbírek a navrhování výstavních prostor.

Absolvent ročníku 2022 a správce umělecké sbírky Colloredo-Mansfeld Maximillian Colloredo-Mansfeld zdůraznil pozitivní vliv pedagogického stylu AAU na svou kariéru:

"Velmi mi pomohl důraz na zapojení do reálného světa a malé počty studentů ve třídě, což podpořilo úzké kontakty s profesionály v oblasti umění a solidní teoretický základ. Toto jedinečné prostředí mě inspirovalo v mé kariéře a umožnilo mi založit startup, který využívá umělou inteligenci k tomu, aby pomáhal soukromým sběratelům inventarizovat jejich umělecká díla a zefektivnit procesy, jako jsou půjčování uměleckých děl, čímž podporuje větší kulturní výměnu." - Colloredo-Mansfeld

Colloredo-Mansfeld byl fascinován tím, jak lidé vnímají čas a historii, a svůj závěrečný kurátorský projekt věnoval tomuto konceptu: odklon od lineárního způsobu myšlení a konceptuálnější přístup k vystavování sbírek, které zahrnují různé styly. Tuto myšlenku ztělesnila skupinová výstava s umělci Tomášem Kurečkou, Štefanem Tóthem, Terezou Zelenkovou, Martinem Pondělíčkem, Šárkou Koudelovou, Danou Sahánkovou a Romanem Štětinou. Colloredo-Mansfeldová zjistila, že umístění starších děl vedle děl současných je otevírá nové kritice a/nebo obdivu.

"Už neplatí, že se epochy rozdělují do různých místností, protože se tím nevytváří vztah mezi divákem a uměleckým dílem," řekl Colloredo-Mansfeld. "Kontrast pomohl vyvolat otázky o tom, jak vnímáme historii a jak může současné umění nabídnout nové způsoby přemýšlení o minulosti."

Colloredo-Mansfledův současný projekt spočívá v péči o rodinnou sbírku umění a v budování firmy na digitalizaci uměleckých sbírek s názvem Kollektor, jejímž cílem je zpřístupnit soukromé sbírky veřejnosti.

Bakalářské studium v oboru Visual Art Studies přednáší různorodý profesorský sbor složený z umělců, akademiků a profesionálů působících na místní i mezinárodní umělecké scéně. Program nabízí jedinečnou syntézu dějin umění, kurátorských studií a ateliérového umění, čímž vytváří pevné základy teorie a praxe výtvarného umění. Studenti rozvíjejí dovednosti v tradičních uměleckých žánrech kresby a malby v kombinaci s novými médii, fotografií a filmem. Při odchodu budou absolventi znát a chápat celé spektrum umělecké tvorby od teorie po praxi.

Absolventka ročníku 2024 Anna Cooková je příkladem silného portfolia, které si studenti mohou na AAU vytvořit:

Cook se inspiruje světem přírody a jeho prolínáním a soužitím s lidským světem i náboženstvím. Její závěrečný projekt na AAU se zabýval knihou Zjevení, poslední částí Bible, kde je předpovězen Armagedon a konečné zničení Země. Cooková ve svém díle zkoumala rozporuplné pocity, které má s vlastní vírou, a skutečnost, že "někteří křesťané mají pocit, že druhý příchod bude předcházet ekologické katastrofě, což vede k tomu, že jim chybí naléhavost potřebná k řešení ekologických problémů".
