says Hana ReadeR (34), regional HR manager of the Zentiva Group. In 2009, when she enrolled in the 18-month MBA program with a focus on HR, she already had seven years of experience in this field. But she felt she was missing the economic background necessary for a managerial position. While she was filling this gap on the University of New York in Prague MBA program, she was promoted to a higher position at European level.

Perhaps I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t studied for an MBa at the University of new York in Prague,
