 So, Park City University, who we are, as I said, this part will be quite brief so we can go into more detail about the programs and what to expect from your education as a master's level student. So the first thing I really like to introduce and say about our university is that we have a practical hands on approach to learning. So you're going to hear about this as we talk about the programs, but we're really focused on how learning can be applied to the real world. Some of our graduates do go on to have successful careers in academia and take this route, but many of our graduates choose our university and choose to study with us because of the prospects upon graduation in terms of global careers. We have a very diverse student body, both in terms of nationalities. So we have students from over 80 different citizenships, meaning that you get perspectives from many different students, but also in terms of an age range and background both educationally and culturally. So one of the things we want to highlight today during this event is the nature of the type of student who is studying on one of our master's programs. We do have people who graduate directly from their bachelor's who decide to enroll in a master's programs, but certainly we also have students who have graduated for been graduated for many years and have decided to return to education. So it's quite a mix and we believe that actually strengthens and enriches your learning experience and we will tell you a bit more concretely about how that works in both the programs Alexa and I are studying as we go through. But also the environment itself is very international so our programs are taught in English. And in fact, all our master's degrees are British degrees. So what that means is if you enroll into one of our master's programs, your final award and diploma will come from T side university so you can see one of our previous graduates in the image there. And she's holding her diploma from T side university. So it's an internationally recognized qualification you would be gaining. We have three schools. And sorry, we have four schools. And we've just introduced our fourth school, the School of Education, in addition to our School of Business School of Media and IT and School of Art and Design. And in our School of Education, we are now offering check degrees. But as mentioned, for the master's programs, we're going to be focused on this evening. Those programs are British meaning that everything is taught in English, and English is the common language of the university. But the people that you will be studying with the people that you will be taught by, they have this range and diverse backgrounds, as I mentioned. We keep our class sizes very small. So you'll hear a little bit more about how the sessions have run imminently. But what that means is that you get to know your fellow classmates, you get to know your lecturers. But there is still that inspiration and innovation through the teaching. And it gives us I think more freedom to be adaptable to respond to what the current issues are in industry. And then share those with you through the curriculum. It allows us to be more flexible, more current. And ultimately, that's what gives you the advantage in the job market. And as mentioned, there's also dedicated academic research. So there's opportunities for research collaboration. And when we're talking about our projects, we can also tell you a little bit more about how the research is happening across the university as well. So that's a brief overview to who we are. And hopefully, because you're already here today, you know, a little bit about us as a university. As I mentioned, we have four schools and we're mainly going to be focusing on those which offer the master's programs this evening. So I'd like to start off with our school of business. And I noticed that someone else has joined us on the call. So if you're interested in a different school, please let us know, but otherwise we'll focus around this for some time now. So if you do have questions, let us know as we go through. So by way of introduction at the master's level, we offer two programs here. The first is in international management, which is what Alexa is currently studying. And the second is in leadership and strategic management, which is what I am currently studying. You can see there that there's different options in terms of how you study. So for the international management program, you can choose between two formats. The first is what we call intensive. So that takes less time to complete and is in three semesters. Or you can study standard format, which as you can see there takes more like two years to complete. And that includes four semesters of four classes, plus a fifth semester, which is your dissertation. So, and that's why that program if you study in the standard format takes slightly longer to complete. You can see there that the leadership and strategic management program is only available in intensive format. And that masters is essentially a fast track masters, it's been designed as an industry integrated degree program. And for students coming into that program to already have some work experience and, and shortly I'll be explaining to you how that actually is working out in practice. The nature of the students on the program, the sorts of assignments we're doing, and how that's actually being applied and related to the workplace. So one of the key programs not only is there and the international management, the time length which you can choose and typically if you will be an international student applying for a visa and you want to come to Prague for your studies. We would recommend you to study the intensive format so that you can be full time dedicated to your studies. If you're going to be based here, or you're going to be studying through our global blended learning format which I'll talk a little bit more about in a second. We might recommend our standard format, which means that you can work alongside your studies, and if you have competing priorities, it gives you more time to complete assignments and to make sure that you can manage your time effectively. What does global blended learning mean. What global blended learning means is that the majority of your lectures are delivered through online platforms. So, at the moment, the masters in leadership and strategic management is delivered only in this format. So we have students on that program who are not only based in Prague, but are based around the world. We participate in live lectures, they are also recorded. They typically take place, and well they always take place in the evening in central European time, and there are also some weekend sessions as well, meaning that it should be accessible to professionals, regardless of location. So for the international management program, you can choose to study it in person here in Prague, where your classes will be delivered in the classroom. Or we do also offer this program through the global blended learning format as well, meaning that again your classes would be delivered through the online learning format. That doesn't mean to say that you're just expected to suddenly do everything by yourself. You have access to all the same resources, the lectures are live, and it's representative actually of a classroom experience that is dialogue and discussion, and which will go into shortly. And actually, at this point, I would like to bring in Alexa, who signed up originally for the in person format of the program, obviously due to the pandemic things have changed. So she's going to tell you a little bit more about how her experience has been joining the program and the ways in which she's been taught. So Alexa, maybe I can just hand over to you for a second, and I'll also stop the screen share in case there are any questions or people want to contribute as we're speaking. Yeah, sure. So, like Natasha said, I originally joined this program at the height of the pandemic so I started in September 2020. So my plan was to study online, but I couldn't. So all of our classes were taught through the global blended format. Now, during this time, even though I had hoped to study in person, I didn't feel like I missed out on any part of the studies because I still had constant contact with my lecturers. The classes were interactive, and we were able to ask questions and have group discussions and the use of breakout rooms during the lectures as well. And the great part is that some of my classmates weren't in Prague either. So it kind of gave an opportunity to look at this international management program, but actually have an international student base currently all over the world. So it was really nice to bring in that element that might not have happened otherwise. So now that things have kind of opened up a bit in Prague, I'm now sort of in a hybrid format. So one of my classes is in person, which I'll have in about 45 minutes. And the other one is online with weekend classes as well. So because this program has both formats available. And the weekend classes are actually both of the formats together in one class. So, even though we are separate cohorts, we also do some group projects and collaborate and do have communication. And I do know all of my my classmates, even the ones who aren't in Prague and we work on projects together. And yeah, and during this studying online I never felt like I was missing out on studies or I still got this full university experience and yeah, it was great. Thanks Alexa. And I think just something to mention it's actually the final slide as we will go through. But just to say that for the upcoming semesters, and if you would like to put in the chat which semester you're interested in joining us from it would also be helpful for us if you haven't shared that information previously. So for the last half of the upcoming academic year, counting on having those two cohorts so having an in-person cohort, but depending on who decides to join the program, we may also have a global blended cohort. There are certain circumstances which have meant that we have this hybrid situation because some students signed up in person but then due to the mitigating circumstances have not yet been able to come here in Prague. So, certainly for September 2022, if you have signed up to be here in person, and if you're an international student who will be seeking a visa, we would expect you to have that visa application done in time to start your studies with the trained students in Prague. It's only that we're in this period at the moment where people are still travelling, hence why we have this hybrid scenario. But we do anticipate from February and September that whichever format you sign up to study, certainly September 2022, we would anticipate that's the format that you have in February. There may still be a degree of flexibility just based upon the situation. We'd like to go a little bit more into detail now about who our student body is and what you really get from being a master's student at Prague City University and what are some of the key features of the two programs to help you decide potentially which program is most suitable for you, but also to understand maybe why our program is different to studying at another university. You can see here that other programs we do offer in the School of Business, and I would just like to mention that we offer our bachelor's degrees in a global blended learning format as well. And these are particularly popular with professionals who perhaps started out in their working career without a university level education. And then they're deciding to come back to education. And in fact, two of our blended learning graduates have continued on to the masters in leadership and strategic management. So when at the start, I mentioned about our diverse student body. And that's partly what I meant, we don't just have professionals on our master's programs. We actually have a range or different types of students studying across all of our programs. And you can see there that we also offer ACCA and SEMA professional qualifications, which are also there as further development opportunities for students who perhaps want to qualify as professional accountants. We offer bespoke programs to companies, and so on and so forth. So, in addition to that traditional, you know, 18 to 21 year old undergraduate degree seeking students. We also have a number of professional or perhaps mature students in addition to those bachelor's degree students who come on to our masters. And thinking through now into more detail about what stands out about the program. So, here probably Alexa and I will both contribute into what it means for each of our programs. And so speaking now more specifically about the masters in leadership and strategic management. This program is really targeted at people who already have work experience. It is one of the entry requirements that you have at least two years work experience. Most of the people on the program, I would say are more in the kind of 10 year work experience bracket to be honest with you. But that doesn't mean to say that if you are starting out in your career and it's not a good idea to join this program. It's really designed to be suitable for those who want to go through to the executive level or a performing at that level and feel like they wish to kind of solidify and like their, their knowledge in terms of like the theory and how that's applied. And what I found personally is that it's a really great opportunity to actually reflect on your personal working practices, but also your organization's working practices. So a key element of this program is that it's connected to your workplace. That's why one of the entry requirements is to be in employment, because you can see on the screen there that we mentioned flexibility of projects and assignment topics. And now I don't want to seal everything Alexa is going to say. So, in, in my cohort specific case, and what that means is we're all studying, sorry, we're all working in very different sectors, and in quite different environments. So, we have a student who works more within like supply chain. We have a student who's in it, student who works for large insurance company, someone who works for a human resources company, myself in a higher education institute. So the types of companies and organizations we work for, and their goals are quite different, but of course, within any organization that shared similarities, but in terms of our projects and our assignments. They're connected to our individual workplace. So we are asked, what global challenges, are we facing in our workplaces. So this semester we are looking at theories and such as digital disruption. We're looking at techniques and government governance. We're looking at culture and gender within the workplace. But then once we learn the theory, the project that set and the assignment that set will be specifically related to a global challenge within our industry. So to give you an example of the digital disruption. And we were looking at how Uber, for example, influenced the transport industry and technology. In my case, you know, I'm going to be investigating how COVID-19 has impacted sort of student mobility and the recruitment challenges around that. It also brings in things such as geopolitical factors as well. The projects are particularly focused around work and indeed one of the modules that you study is called work based portfolio. And this whole module is essentially learning different leadership theories, but then taking away observational questions. And then looking at the situations that you come into in your workplace. And effectively, you are then reflecting on them and seeing how are those leadership theories at play. How could you implement them further. How could they help improve your organization. And when you're looking at these assignments and looking at these projects, the goal really within this is not only for you to develop yourself, but there should be some benefit also to the organization. It should help you kind of be able to take ideas back into your workplace, perhaps speak with colleagues about different issues. And think about how things could be better structured because as I mentioned, it's really about people who want to go up to that. If they're not already at the management level into the executive level, and it's about strategy, risk management and so on. So it's really, really very, very practical. And what I personally enjoy about that is yes you do learn theory. But actually some of the most interesting part of our lessons are the group discussions. So you get to hear directly from the people in the different organizations how they do it, what's worked. So I want to give you some examples and think about how you can implement that into your day to day operations or strategic thinking as well. So that's just sort of one example of the flexibility of projects in that way. And I want to bring in Alexa here because for the business programs in particular. Not only do we welcome students from different career paths, but we also welcome them from different educational backgrounds. So perhaps Alexa, you want to mention a little bit about that here. Yeah, sure. So the master's in international management program is really great for that. So we have students from basically any educational background that you can think of. We've had students well in my program, people who studied law or psychology or my background is in music, for example, and people who have studied business. So there's a big mix of backgrounds, which I think brings an interesting dynamic into those group discussions because not everyone has this background in business. So we're looking at managing people and working with people and kind of from, it can be kind of from an abstract look. So kind of like what Natasha was saying with this flexibility of projects and assignment topics. We, we also have have that so because we all have different experience. This final dissertation or even these, some of our projects throughout the semester, they're pretty free in topic. They do have to be related to management in some way, but the dissertation can really be whatever you you like. In the first semester, we had to propose our research for the final dissertation and propose this topic. And what we were told was pick something that you enjoy, pick something that you're really passionate about. And as long as it relates to management, it works. So, you know, you don't have to have this background, you don't have to have extensive experience. We do have students who have recently graduated and, you know, they finished their bachelor's degree in June of 2020, for example, and then started in September. And we have students who have taken time off, have gained work experience and then decided to go back. So it's, it's kind of a next step for anyone looking to take a next step. You don't have to have specific experience, although it can help and contribute interesting, interesting perspectives into that conversation. This flexibility of projects. We really try to implement projects that will that can be used in your professional life. So, for example, my classes this semester. One is taking a hypothetical country from a hypothetical company from a developed country and opening it in a developing country. So looking at all of those cultural differences that could pose a challenge and different economical issues that might arise and researching that and putting together a proposal that will help this company succeed in opening in this new market. One class in the first year was about developing yourself and doing some self reflection kind of like what Natasha was saying. And seeing how you how you are as a person in in your organization and looking at different things that you can put into place in order to to better yourself as an employee and as a manager so they're all really applied and topics that topics that mean something and that you actually know how to do that work when you finish your studies so it's not just learning information and taking an exam but it's learning the information and then being able to use it in a practical scenario in the future. Yeah, and I can see Lewis you've just contributed there as well about the importance of experience and, and yeah I think it's something that I guess one of the distinguishing distinguishing features between the two programs is that certainly for leadership and strategic management we we pull on our experience all the time. In fact, that's effectively how the program is is taught with sort of, we almost go from the experience into the theory rather than going from the theory into the practical, which perhaps in the international management program is more the route that that's taken just because there is that cross section and diversity, but it's definitely fair to say that any graduate who goes on to international management whether they've had the break like Alexa mentioned or they've recently continued. They want to deepen their understanding and then looking to, you know, they understand that having that master's will fast track their, their career progress as well and access deeper levels and of course we have it there on the screen as well one of the key things is is peer learning. And so, in addition to, in addition to from your lecturers who have a wealth of experience and experts in the field, they've also worked in practice to so that that peer learning from other students who have different work experience from you, like we said at the start different educational and cultural backgrounds. And it makes it a really dynamic and a really interesting program. So, we have a couple of questions come in through. And so I'd just like to clarify that. Yes, if your background is in a different field. And like Alexa mentioned her bachelor's degree was in music. And she has still because of her, her work experience and overall application been admitted on to the international management program. So you can definitely progress into the international management field, regardless of your prior field of study. And we also believe that regardless of the sector that you've worked in actually, you will always be able to relate it to management so it's a really good way of deepening your knowledge the fact that you maybe haven't been in a business oriented role. It doesn't matter, because you will learn about that you will hear how that can be applied. And effectively you will kind of that that is what you will learn through the program ultimately but also from those who do have the business experience and if you've even going through your bachelor's degree regardless of your field. You will have worked with other people some of the issues that come up through international management and you will have encountered them, even if not in a formal either educational or professional context, but definitely I think in that case the international management program is more suitable for people who, yeah maybe don't kind of have that that level of work experience yet or they're starting out, or they don't kind of have that that clear direction. I think for the leadership and strategic management like I mentioned it's really a fast track program that's highly linked to your workplace and that environment and looking at practical issues that you face, and how you overcome them and having that reflective element upon you as a leader, and somebody who will manage strategically as the title suggests. So that's what you're trying to go into. And the applied learning is really important to us. And as I mentioned, we are our lecturers have the experience across that and also it's coming up a little bit later in the presentation but in addition to just your lecturers there's also guest lecturers as well. So you do get input from people outside of proxy to university outside of the students to give you their real life experience as well. The idea of gaining the theoretical backing is really so that you have that underpinning and then you can consider how it does work in practice, or actually make the time to reflect upon that and how you can further incorporate it into your, your working, working life. And I think we've covered quite a lot there I think around the group discussions and peer learning and flexibility of projects and assignment topics, and just on that note to clarify one of the great things in my personal opinion about the British system is that you study the same modules as each other. But because your research interests might be different, and your projects might be different because of where you work or what your background is and what you want to focus on like Alexa said due to the backgrounds. You are able to do that you can have this freedom around these projects so what you'll find is that the people on the program, you know if they've come from law if they've come from it if they've come from. Yeah and art and design or artistic creative background, and they might choose to do their projects within these fields or they might focus on marketing or might focus on human resources. So it really depends what your, I suppose, interests are but also career ambitions and what you want to deepen your knowledge around as well. But I also just want to touch upon a couple of other things which perhaps make the programs that we offer quite different. The first thing that you see there is access to lecturers. So you can see that we have what we've already talked about the fact that like who our lecturers are and the way in which the classes are run, but even outside of class time. They will set up individual consultations with you. So, because many people on the program do have outside commitments there are some students on international management who are studying exclusively full time and that's what they're dedicated to. But many of our students as you heard are working. Maybe they have families, maybe they travel internationally with their job. You know we understand that studies is going to be one of your focus focuses, but they'll also be other priorities that you have to contend with. So access to lecturers. It's really key. So if you are given a deadline to submit a draft submit proposal, you can get feedback. It's very structured in how you should submit your assignments. There's lots of support there as well, and guidance also in where to find resources because of course if you have lots of time, you know, to read lots of articles in your spare time and read around that's that's fantastic. But the lecturers understand that, you know, you have an assignment to complete, and they want to try and help you be, you know, effective in your research and effective in where you're searching for the relevant information. Of course it is master's level. So you are expected to do reading to have an extensive bibliography to have made sure that you have found accurate sources for your work, the evidence based and appropriate for the level of study that you're making, but you are helped with direction on papers that might assist your specific topic. Authors, keep books to look to, and we do in addition to a physical library. Of course, as I mentioned, many of our students aren't actually studying in Prague, and there's access to online learning facilities as well and journals so you have access to this wealth of resources to support your research so you're not just kind of left, you know, it can sound I think a bit daunting to think wow well I have all this flexibility around my project topic and how do you then start your assignment and your lecturers are there really to guide you provide feedback and assist you and direct you in these resources and I have to say if you've taken a break from education, you might find the first semester, a bit of a shock, getting back into it, but once you are into that rhythm. I think it comes back quite quite naturally and hopefully as you're hearing from us, you know, if you find the content interesting and then there's relevance to your work and professional life as well. It's quite easy actually to to make the time to dedicate to it because you see immediately the advantage to what you're learning. So we also talked about the evening and weekend classes, we do appreciate that time zones may be an issue. But we do try and accommodate that where possible, and certainly, if something is delivered online it's also recorded. I mentioned access to lecturers so if you do need to meet with them at a different time, they're available to do that. So I think we've covered some of the applied learning as well. So, I'd just like to ask at this point, and we sort of have around 20 minutes left of the time that we've allocated today. And if there's sort of any specific questions that have come up I know we've had another student join us today who I believe is interested also in the masters in leadership and strategic management and one of the business programs. So if you do have any questions that you would like us to answer now, now could be a good time before we just move through to share with you a little bit more around what's available outside of your program. So actually, beyond just being a student in the program, how do our masters level students who are both in person, but also studying remotely engage with the university so that's the next section. Is there any questions that we can help with. No, no, no. I just wanted to add one one more thing as well. About the projects that we work on in our program. So, because I'm in on the in person format. We do have the global blended format that doesn't mean that we don't work on projects together. My classes we have a group project, and one of my group mates is actually in in another country, about nine hours behind us so we, you know we have to plan and organize and me and still work on things together so just because you're in one format of the international management program doesn't mean that you won't still, you know interact and work with and have projects with people from another format as well. Thanks Alexa yeah it's an important note. We also just to add for for our program. Well so far it's been all individual based projects and I actually believe that will be the case so we don't have good projects in the leadership and strategic management it is more personal. And to you, and I just want to revert quickly to the timing of that to maybe help you with your decision making as well. And you can see that we have the time that it takes to complete, and these programs start both in February 2022, and also in September 2022 as well. So they start in both February and the September semester. And if you're going to be studying in the global blended learning format will come up to admissions deadline shortly, but there is still time to apply. And even if you're an international visa seeking student. It's getting slightly late now for February. And if that's something you're still considering then I would recommend speaking directly to your admissions advisor. But the reason you have the different timelines there is just depending on when you start will depend on when you complete your dissertation so I started in the February semester. The first one was February to June. I'm now in my second semester. And my third semester will be the dissertation which will start in February. So it will take me probably not quite 18 months it will be more like 15 months. But if I had have started in September it would be one year all the way through, but you do get a short of break over the winter break in between semesters if you do start in the September so it's quite intensive. As I said, the leadership and strategic management is really industry integrated in a fast track program, because so much of the content you study is related to the workplace so it's, that's how it's achievable. I would say, whereas international management. If you are working we do recommend the standard format which is what Alexa study and now she's obviously working full time alongside that too. In exceptional cases it might be possible to do intensive, it just means that each semester you would have more, more assignments. So, I don't think we've had anyone join us who's interested in our school of media and it, the only thing I wanted to add on this is we do offer the masters in computing. It's offered in the same formats and intensive and standard as we explained and global blended learning is also available. In case you have work experience in it, but it's not your educational background, we do offer a potential conversion route so you can study a semester or potentially a full year in preparation to entry to the masters. So I just mentioned that in case anyone is considering it, but as I don't believe we have any students who are particularly looking at this program today. We're going to move on from that. Similarly, we offered to master's degrees in our school of art and design. And I had plan to talk in a little bit more detail about this but as I don't believe we have any potential and art and design master students here will will move on. I'd like to just spend a short period of time telling you a little bit more about, sorry just one second, telling you a little bit more about our individual events and speakers that happen outside of your studies. So, I mentioned before that there are guest lectures, you can actually see that this week we have two guest speakers as part of our series that we run. So each school has a series attached to it master speaker series is business media and innovation and technology is media and IT. Artisan lecture lecture series is obviously school of art and design and then excellence in learning and teaching series is a school of education. So, should you be interested in hearing how this, and how these events happen and the types of professionals that we have in. I'm pleased to say we have a guest speaker from T side university business school our strategic partner Suzanne withrington speaking tomorrow at six o'clock so the same time as this evening, speaking about creating a sustainable organization. And then sustainability is the theme of the week. And as our visiting artists and lecture series will also focus on that as well. I think it's really nice is we really try and encourage interdisciplinary projects. So, as I mentioned you could have on one of your business master's programs students who completed a creative program for example, so you might equally be interested in attending any of our exhibitions, you may be interested in attending the guest speakers of others, and just hearing about some of these different inputs so we try and make sure that the speakers are varied coming across different sectors. And the aim is to really again, confront practical real world issues that are happening within the workplace. So you can hear how others and apply in their work experience to those. And also, we try and have some which concentrate perhaps more on research areas, but that again could be applied in the workplace. I do want to mention here, and if you are a student who's coming from abroad or you're coming for full time studies that, of course we do have student societies and student council events. Students aren't just open to our undergraduate level students, they are open to our master's students as well. And I'm actually pleased to say that it is some of our master's students who have been really actively engaged actually in marketing the university part in the social events that we've done. We have quite a lot of performers and singers for example and they come from across all of our programs. So if you have external interests as well. Some of these societies are more, let's say hobby and interest based for example there's a yoga society which is of course open to everybody. But some of them are perhaps a bit more academic or let's say finance focused I think we had a society that was focused around Bitcoin I'm not going to lie it's not my area of expertise. But we do have quite a breadth of society so don't feel that these things are not accessible to you as a master's level student I think really what we wanted to get across today. Is that yes your experience is at that higher, more professional level, but the activities that have take place across the university are equally accessible to you and we try and encourage input throughout them as well and your engagement with them too. So, on that same note, each year we have an annual theme. This year it's called be the change. And this is really encouraging the entire student body to come together to think about the key issues that are affecting them as a society. So things such as climate change and different topics of race and integration within society and thinking about the pandemic and how can we take ownership of what's happening in society and come together as a group to what we've done to be the change. So, regardless of the level that you're studying at there are these interdisciplinary events and interdisciplinary projects as well where you can learn from others throughout the university not just within your program. And then we've also recently introduced some further study opportunities and connection opportunities so what I'd like to mention is LinkedIn learning. So, in addition to your study program your guest lectures that you have access to, you also have access to the LinkedIn learning platform. So if you are studying within management, as everybody today has expressed an interest in, but you're perhaps want to know to learn to program or you're in the IT field or you want to learn more about law or you want to do a bit more about science, whatever it might be that you're interested in, the LinkedIn learning platforms available to do that, or maybe you pick up on some content that's been really interesting within your module, within your teaching session, and you can go to LinkedIn and you can develop that further and undertake further training and courses or think about how that could be incorporated, again, into your workplace and training so this is something that's available to our students as well. There's also kind of other diverse programs so one is Park City architecture so even if you're not here but you have an interest in the city, we want you to be able to engage with Prague take advantage of that. Prague has also got really great professional networks as well. And so you can see there that we promote regular career opportunities. And also, we have an annual career fair. And that's both for students who are perhaps starting out in their career, but also another opportunity to hear from specific industries and specific fields and about what they do and the types of skills that they're looking for and really what's at the cutting edge. And if you are on the leadership and strategic management program, maybe that's something you also want to engage with from a point of view of, you know, your employees or thinking about hiring graduates you know we're kind of open to these things being a two way, a two way collaboration. Of course we have our alumni association you become an alumni of not only proxy to university but also tea side university, and I just touched upon our industry network and as well. So there's quite a lot of external opportunities. And I just touched upon Prague as a city. There's a lot of international businesses here. So, some of our students do choose to stay in their home countries to study on the global blended program. Some come to Prague to study and then find out the internship or full time work positions as well and choose to stay. As I mentioned it is particularly international. I don't speak Czech. Many of our students actually we offer Czech lessons but they're perhaps not fluent, but it really is and become in a business hub. So we're quite fortunate that in the guest lectures that we have, we can welcome people who are not only local, but also global who are working for global companies. We're well situated for those connections. And we have three campuses across the city, in addition to our digital campus accommodation is available if that's something that would be applicable to you we can provide you with more information. And something that's applicable for everybody is that you would still have a welcome week and a program induction to make sure that you're familiar with our platforms where to find out about the latest events, and so on. So opportunities are open regardless of if you're studying remotely, or if you're studying here in Prague on campus. So turning now to some of the practical things around, around deadlines and actually how to apply. So you can see here it says EU and local students but that's also applicable to our global blended students who would not need a visa to study. So if you're interested in September, if you are still interested in February you can see there's still time to apply we have an upcoming deadline at the end of this week. And even if you would like to start in September. We have an early registration deadline coming up, and the advantage of this deadline is financially driven typically. So you can pay early and save on your first semester fees. And for a scholarship bonus. And there's also the opportunity to save and something I would like to mention is, if you are working for a company which you think might be interested in hearing about some of the advantages of being part of our industry network. There is actually a discount available. If you are an employee of one of our industry network partners. And you might also be interested to know that there's also the possibility and if you can get your employer to sponsor your fees. But that's also possible too. So if that's something that you can negotiate with them, then that might be an option in addition to obviously self funding your studies. So you can see here the relevant deadlines we have November coming up for February we would then be entering what's the later registration period. And you can see this September we then have a February and then April deadline, where you can still take advantages, take advantage of the financial offers available. So what we typically recommend is after this call if you're interested in applying, you can write to us in the chat if you would like us to send you the application or further details on our programs. We have individual module descriptors. And so we can send you the details of both programs to look at in detail, the program content. If we've got time at the end we can potentially even share those with you now to take away. But if you would like to go ahead and apply, please just write to your admissions advisor or write to us in the chat and we can send that to you. So in terms of what we need from you, if you would like to go ahead with an application. The first thing is to let us know, because we ask you to upload all your documents into an online application package that's personal to you. We will send you a link where you complete all your personal details, and then upload the documents that you can see here on the screen. So this is your confirmation of completed education. And so that would be your bachelor's degree and your transcripts, which should be all in English. If you did not study in English language, then we ask for a proof of your English level. And we accept IELTS or TOEFL. We also accept Duolingo. And you can ask us about the score or find it on our website. We ask you for a letter of motivation, which is explain why you've chosen our university and also the program you are applying to specifically and the field that you're interested in and why. So this is your ID. And it's not relevant for anybody here, but there would be a portfolio for the School of Art and Design Masters programs of course, and we do ask you for a CV. And then we also ask for recommendation letters, which we would ideally like to be on letterheaded paper and signed and stamped if possible. So we would like to meet our requirements and which will include the your GPA or a final bachelor's degree outcome. Then we would arrange a final interview between you and the program leader, and you heard about our access to lecturers and we talked a bit about the personal approach and hopefully you can see from the nature of today's event. We think it's really important to get to know you as a potential applicant as well as you getting to know us. So we want to make sure that it's a good fit. So we always say to students to take that final interview as an opportunity to ask any questions as well. To confirm that Park City University is the University for you and that the program is going to meet your aims and requirements to assuming that final interview is successful, we would make you an offer to study. And only upon your acceptance of that offer to study, would we invoice you for the first semester tuition fees, and then semesters are invoiced on a per semester basis. So the final thing really, before we do go to questions I just wanted to touch again on how we will be teaching so of course if you're studying in the global blended learning format. Your classes are taught through live interactive zoom lectures your participation is still mandatory and expected attendance is actually taken. So are the opportunities to come to Prague for residential blocks to meet your other students and also meet your lecturers and for networking opportunities. Most of our events that you heard about the speaker series, they are either held in hybrid format so with in person attendance and also online attendance or some are held exclusively in person or held exclusively online but to be honest at the moment they can run in a hybrid impact a hybrid delivery. That's the word I was looking for. In terms of the next upcoming semesters like I mentioned, certainly for September 2022 we, if you're part of an in person teaching program. That's how we expect to deliver. We also expect that for February 2022. We are delivering in person teaching for those students here in Prague, but as you heard from Alexa, we're still working with some students to get them here but anyone who's expected to be in person from February. We expect them to do to be here and to be running those in person classes or being well. And the Czech Republic does continue to welcome students from other EU countries as well as international students. And we do have covered measures in place on campus, including wearing respirators. We have air filters that we've invested in in our classrooms, of course to help with ventilation testing and vaccination requirements as well which we are requiring students to undertake effectively and keep us informed about to ensure everybody's safety as far as possible on campus. And we do have full policies available as well should you be interested in in reading them over further information. So, of course, we do have for in person teaching but we felt that this was an important point to share. And as hopefully you've heard from today. The full university experience is still available. And at that master's level, whether you're a professional or a recent graduate, we believe that the experience that can be offered at Prague City University is an outstanding experience and that will prepare you for your future career, whether that be at the executive level, starting out in your career, or indeed sort of through to academia. So if you do have any questions and Alexa and I are here I know that Alexa does actually have a class which you will have to go to very soon. And, but I will ask her if she has any closing remarks, and I'm happy to stay on to answer any questions and you can see our contact there. Should you wish to write to us or please feel free to write in the chat, and I'll answer any questions now. Alexa, if you would like to say anything, please feel free to not really just also if you're interested in a class visit that's also possible so because these programs are offered through the global blended format if you want to see how they're run or, you know, meet the program leader in that way, just let your admissions advisor know and we can arrange that for you. Thank you. That's a excellent point. I have to run to class so it was thank you all for coming and we'll be in touch soon. Thanks a lot. Bye. Okay so I'm happy to stay and for a couple of minutes if you do want to go into more detail on anything ask any questions. I think something came up regarding the events that we offer and how to find access to that so I know that Alexis put in the Facebook link but we also on our website I just want to share with you our events calendar, and that's where you can find all the details to register here, and you'll always find the most recent upcoming events which you can join. Typically things might be a live streamed or joined through a webinar. So this thanks very much if you have no questions and please feel free to enjoy the rest of your evening.
