European Research University

The European Research University is a distinguished non-governmental, non-profit organisation primarily focused on providing accredited undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, as well as non-degree and lifelong learning programmes. Founded on the principles of openness, inclusivity, equality, and respect for individual needs, the ERUNI is dedicated to delivering education based on a non-profit model. The University holds the status of a Recognised Teaching Centre of the University of London.

Since its inception in 1999, the ERUNI has evolved, gaining government recognition in 2008 and transitioning into a university-type higher education institution in 2023 after rigorous accreditation process. Currently, the ERUNI comprises five constituent parts, including faculties primarily focused on degree programmes and related research activities, as well as colleges dedicated to professional studies and lifelong learning or non-degree programmes . It also encompasses additional organisational units providing tertiary education in accordance with Czech law and works closely with educational institutions within the PRIGO group of schools.

The primary objective of ERUNI is to be an elite research university with special prominence in European education. We focus on high-quality research and its results as well as international cooperation. European Research University is a member of PRIGO Group, a wide group of schools and colleges operating on all levels of education.
