One Semester at Webster University
15. 8. 2023 Author: Kája Mařík I had the opportunity to study in Vienna at Webster University for a semester, thanks to Erasmus. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to live in such a gorgeous city. Vienna is full of stunning architecture, greenery and kind people from all around the world.Studying at Webster Vienna was great as well. The professors were really helpful, friendly and they were initiating discussions in their lectures, and they made it feel comfortable to share your point of view. Even the courses I took sounded (and were) really interesting. The one that caught my attention the most was Women, Gender and Sexuality in Social Justice Organizations, which was interesting and very informative. At Webster, the energy between the students and professors seemed really relaxed and friendly. What was also amazing were all the extra lectures Webster was organizing with important people, for instance from high positions at the UN, or ambassadors. We also had a talent contest and trips outside of school!
Webster is located close to restaurants, cafés, the city center, student dorms and the metro.
I believe this experience has helped me with self-development, it has broadened my horizons and taught me to be more independent, how to live in a foreign city, and it definitely got me great friends from around the world.
Last but not least I am very grateful for the assistance Mgr. Simona Knopová has provided me with. Every time that I needed anything throughout the process, she always was kind and quick to help!
Thank you MUP and Webster for this opportunity!

Metropolitan University Prague's Fleet Cruised the Waters of the Vltava
How should a university celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary? What better way to mark the occasion than with a fleet of MUP steamboats cruising along the Vltava, offering panoramic views of Old Prague, Charles Bridge, Vyšehrad and other landmarks? That would certainly be something special. And that is exactly what happened!
Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP
5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
