Unlike many other IT schools, Unicorn University builds its teaching on a practical approach and real projects.

Every course is designed as a project with a real deliverable that the student actually “ships.” This way, you don’t just learn theory—you gain experience with the entire development lifecycle, from design and programming to software deployment. “During their studies, students work on several projects that familiarize them with the real course of software projects. They get to experience what it means to design an application, program it, test it, and deploy it to the cloud,” says Ing. Marek Beránek, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Information Technologies. A university degree in IT is also widely recognized and valued both in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Use of AI as your co-pilot

It’s an ideal choice for anyone who wants to be at the forefront of innovation and understand how AI is transforming the world around us.
You’ll broaden your horizons and meet new people
Why is studying IT at university better than a bootcamp?
Bootcamp is an alternative form of education that offers an intensive and quick introduction to the IT sector. They are only interested in one specific IT activity (e.g. programming). Bootcamps are mainly focused on practice and real projects that prepare students for the job market. Bootcamps also have a clear price and last only a few months.
In addition to a university degree to advance your career, university is a better option for those who want to gain a deeper and broader understanding of the IT field, pursue a research degree, or specialize in an area of IT. University offers more theoretical foundations that help students understand the principles and context of IT. The university also allows students to develop their creativity, critical thinking and ability to learn new things. The university also enjoys prestige and recognition in the society and among employers. In conclusion, studying IT in university is better for those who seek depth, breadth and prestige of knowledge.
