Education Briefs



August 23rd, 2006 issue

  • Plagiarism -
    • Brno's Masaryk University has developed a new computer software program to combat plagiarism. The first of its kind in the Czech Republic, the software is modeled on those used at universities in North America. The system will be accessible to both staff and students at Masaryk University, though it is expected that university instructors will make the most use of the new tool.

  • DOX -
    • A new Museum of Modern Art, Architecture and Design, to be called DOX, will open in a renovated factory complex in Prague 7–Holešovice with the help of several volunteers, including the International School of Prague's public information chief, Helena Ackerman. With an international honorary board and a local advisory committee of people from the arts and the academia, the project is directed by Leoš Valka and Jaroslav Anděl. The shape and concept of the museum is still in the planning stages but it promises to breathe fresh air into the city's cultural scene.

  • Careers -
    • Prague College celebrated its second year this summer with a concert at Palác Akropolis by the Croatian music band Svadbas, playing a spicy mix of rock, pop and Balkan folk in a Czech Republic premiere in June. The Vinohrady-based college, which offers practical higher education in English in business, graphic design, interactive media, computing and chartered accounting, is also launching the premiere of the Prague College Career Center in September. The project will connect students with companies in their desired career fields and offer a marketplace for jobs, internships, networking and career advice. Its goal is to create and reinforce long-term relationships between employers and students.

  • Master's -
    • The New Anglo-American College Prague's M.A. program in international relations and diplomacy has received an official accreditation from the Education Ministry, allowing students to receive this master's degree with 20 courses taken over two years when a student enrolls in five courses per semester. The seven major components are theory of international relations, international economy, conflict studies, international law, diplomatic history, area studies and diplomacy. There is also an important practical training component to the program, essential for this much-needed area of study.

  • Graduate -
    • The CMC Graduate School of Business and Thunderbird graduated the largest number of executive MBAs in international management to date in July at the Břevnov Monastery in Prague, with 25 students from seven European countries and the United States. Since the program launched in 2003, nearly 100 executive students from 20 countries have gone through or are now completing the Thunderbird EMBA program, which is ranked No. 1 in the world for global business by BusinessWeek.
