Dear UNYP and ESC community, 

The state of emergency in the Czech Republic is valid until January 22 and schools remain closed for in class instruction. The Czech Government has asked for an extension of the state of emergency and given the number of COVID positive cases, it is very likely that higher education institutions will remain closed for regular classes well after January 22. Therefore, all Spring semester classes running at UNYP, including ESC courses, are expected to run online and until further notice in adherence to the rules and regulations set forth by the Government and respective Ministries, and to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff.  We hope that regular classes will resume at some point during the Spring semester if the authorities and the health situation allow for it. Should this possibility arise, you will be informed immediately. In such an occasion and in the event that students are not physically able to attend classes or would simply prefer not to do so they can continue their classes at a distance (classes will have cameras and classes will also be recorded). 

We will be providing further updates before the start of the spring semester and as the situation unfolds.  

Best regards, 

Rector's office Team
