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