Tento příspěvek je odpovědí na otázky jednoho z rodičů adresovanou našemu prorektorovi Pavlovi Semerádovi. Dozvíte se v něm, jestli vás připravíme na zkoušky na daňového poradce a jak je to s naším bakalářským studiem v Praze.

The world of work is changing faster than university curricula. Higher education institutions are under growing pressure to prepare students for a reality that cannot be fully captured in textbooks or lecture halls. Experts agree that without a strong and systematic link to practice, quality education is no longer possible.

Stereotypical images of accountants quietly tapping away at their computers were definitively shattered by the first edition of the Taxathlon Challenge. This high-energy competition, running from October to November 2025, revealed accounting as the brain behind successful business. The final held at the Prague Congress Centre confirmed that where others see only columns of numbers, future experts uncover real stories and strategic challenges.

Studium na vysoké škole je velkou investicí do budoucna. Je ale také spojeno s náklady, které byste měli být schopni alespoň částečně pokrýt už během studia. V tomto článku vám povíme, jaké máte možnosti financování, abyste nemuseli zbytečně zatěžovat rodinný rozpočet.

Po čtyřech letech dochází na Vysoké škole Sting k významné akademické změně. Vedení přebírá nový rektor Roman Brauner.

Na Vysoké škole Sting propojujeme teorii s praxí. A na praxi si dáváme obzvláště záležet. Pravidelně proto zveme do výuky zkušené daňové poradce, auditory a zástupce Finanční správy České republiky. V zimním semestru to byli Jan Brantl, Natália Šenková a Václav Čepelák.

Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, but it can be learned. At the Newton Business Accelerator, Margareta Křížová cuts through the hype around glossy startups and focuses on the reality of sales. Veronika Koleňáková adds that management isn’t a gift. It’s a craft. One that can be tough at times, but one you can learn.

The Artemis II mission not only pushed the boundaries of human space exploration but also opened up new marketing opportunities. Product placement in space can be worth tens of millions of dollars, as confirmed by our marketing expert Karel Novotný.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping work and education, but some skills remain irreplaceable. At Newton University, students develop not only knowledge but also empathy, resilience, and critical thinking.

The financial starting point of young people in the Czech Republic varies widely depending on their background and lifestyle. While some receive strong support from their families, others have to rely entirely on themselves. Economist Jan Boubín from NEWTON University explains how much money is realistically needed and why starting early makes all the difference.

Student housing, iris photography, mental wellness, and a return to craftsmanship. The NEWTON University Pop-Up Market demonstrates how today’s young entrepreneurs combine meaningful ideas, sustainability, and creativity with practical execution.

Family businesses are built on strong values, yet they are increasingly tested by today’s economic reality. In Czech Television’s Události a komentáře, Jiří Koleňák and Matouš Syrový explore what lies ahead for family firms and why the generational handover has become a defining moment.

Changing your career direction after fifty is not stepping away from the stage. More often, it marks the beginning of a new chapter. Business mentor and investor Margareta Křížová shows that experience can be one of the greatest advantages in today’s labour market. And that the courage to start again may become one of the best investments in your future.

Originally from the United States, Rob Westbrook arrived in Central Europe to reconnect with his family’s Austrian heritage and eventually made Brno his long-term home. At NEWTON University he teaches much more than English or mathematics. His work focuses on nurturing critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and empathy in a new generation of students. In this interview, he reflects on why Brno became such a significant place for him, what gives NEWTON its distinctive sense of community, and why the human presence in teaching matters more than ever in an age defined by rapid technological change.

“Me first” sounds suspicious in leadership. Almost like admitting weakness, failure or a lack of integrity. We tend to admire leaders who endure more than others, push themselves to the limit, operate under long-term pressure and sacrifice themselves for the team. Yet this is exactly where one of the most harmful myths of modern leadership begins. Without the ability to put yourself first, you cannot carry responsibility for others in a sustainable, healthy or high-quality way.

In leadership, certainty rarely shows up in advance. Yet many people keep waiting for it: for more information, clearer instructions, calmer times, better conditions. The reality of leading is different. You have to act long before everything makes sense.

You don’t become a leader by promotion but by understanding. Only when you stop relying on authority and start listening do you realise that leadership isn’t about managing people, it’s about awakening them. We spoke with Assoc. Prof. Emil Velinov, guarantor of our MBA Strategic Leadership programme, about why being a manager is not enough and why the biggest transformations happen outside your comfort zone.

He left PowerPoint slides at the door. Instead, he brought artists, entrepreneurs, athletes and creators to NEWTON University – people whose stories opened a different world for students.

Today, the United Arab Emirates serves as a global laboratory for management. Last autumn, prior to the outbreak of the current conflict in the region, our lecturer Emil Velinov visited Horizon University College in the UAE. His mission? To share know-how and draw inspiration from a region where innovation knows no bureaucratic bounds. 'Education is at its most vibrant where multiple cultures collide,' he shares in our interview.

You probably know the feeling. Exams are approaching, new dates appear in the system, admin tasks start piling up, you are planning the next semester, and thinking about your final thesis. University brings great opportunities, but also moments when you need to quickly find your way and know who to turn to.

TRIREME is an Erasmus+ funded project supporting the green and digital transformation of the mobility, transport and automotive ecosystem through skills development, training and collaboration.

Zkouškové je za rohem a vy máte pocit, že to nedáte? Známe to velmi dobře. Ať už vás čeká maturita, státnice nebo jen vražedný zápočet, máme pro vás vědecky ověřené lifehacky. Ukážeme vám, že pilně se učit neznamená sedět nad skripty do vyhoření. Tupé biflování nazpaměť je upřímně total red flag. Pojďme se podívat, jak vypadá efektivní učení.

Resilience is today among the most frequently used words in the field of leadership. Yet it is often treated in an overly simplified way. It gets reduced to endurance, the ability to “grit your teeth”, or somehow withstand pressure. But real leadership is not about survival. It is about the ability to act, decide, and take responsibility at a moment when you have no guarantee things will turn out well.

Christmas was pure chill. A few weeks ago you were eating sweets, watching films and saying that you would catch up later. And now you have caffeine, textbooks, twenty eight open tabs and the feeling that it will be impossible to manage everything in time.
