Škoda Auto University

Škoda Auto University was founded in 2000 by Škoda Auto, a car manufacturer, which has been producing passenger cars for more than a century and is one of Europe’s largest automotive brands within the Volkswagen Group. Our educational concept is unique and highly specific - the available programmes include Bachelor’s and follow-on Master’s degree programmes which combine the basics of economic and technical fields with practical experience in the automotive industry. The Bachelor’s degree programme includes one semester of compulsory internship, usually in Škoda Auto or one of the other VW Group companies, around the world. Students of follow-on Master's programmes can select a three-month work placement. Graduates of Škoda Auto University climb to global managerial positions in not only the automotive industry but all fields of business.

Škoda Auto University becomes the first private university in the Czech Republic to obtain Institutional Accreditation

We offer students unique bachelor's and follow-up master's degree programs and specializations that combine economic and technical education. The bachelor's program lasts 3.5 years and includes a financially compensated mandatory internship in the 5th semester, which students complete with top employers not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. Master's students can choose a six-week internship as part of their elective courses.
