The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, Society and Culture offers a modern and interdisciplinary education in the arts and the role of cultural production in society. Graduates receive a globally recognized degree, accredited in the US and EU, and earn it in three years instead of four.

The Creative Writing concentration is closely aligned with several existing research areas within the School of Arts and Humanities, particularly those in literary studies, cultural studies, and interdisciplinary narrative research. The program equips graduates with the ability to adapt their writing and narrative expertise to both artistic and professional contexts, making them versatile contributors across creative industries.

This concentration is built for students who want to write, create, experiment, and publish — not just study texts. From the very start, students actively produce original work, participate in workshops, and receive continuous feedback from faculty and peers.

The program blends creative labs, writing studios, and genre-focused workshops with a flexible liberal arts structure. Learning happens through doing: drafting stories, revising poems, scripting scenes, pitching ideas, and collaborating on creative projects. Small class sizes and an interactive American-style teaching model ensure that every student’s voice is heard and developed.

Highlights:

• Write original fiction, poetry, scripts, and creative nonfiction from your first semester
• Learn through hands-on workshops and creative studios, not lectures alone
• Receive continuous professional feedback from faculty and peers
• Develop a strong personal voice across multiple genres and formats
• Experiment with screenwriting, drama, and digital storytelling
• Build a professional creative portfolio by graduation
• Learn in small classes where your work is seen, discussed, and developed
• Draw inspiration from psychology, culture, and real-world social issues
• Collaborate in a cross-disciplinary Creative Studio
• Study and create in Prague’s vibrant cultural and literary scene
