School of International Relations and Diplomacy
The School of International Relations and Diplomacy is the youngest but fastest growing school within the structure of AAU. It opened its first accredited program for a Master's in International Relations and Diplomacy in Fall 2006 and has offered a Bachelor's Program in International Relations from 2007. The Masters Programs were recently re-accredited by the Ministry of Education till 2015.

The Master's Program in International Relations and Diplomacy covers the areas of international relations, international economy, International law, conflict studies, diplomatic history and diplomatic theory and practice.

John H. Carey School of Law
The John H. Carey II School of Law at Anglo-American University provides students with the knowledge, skills, and analytical ability to enter the legal job market immediately as productive professionals. In addition, it provides its graduates with a firm and solid legal foundation that they can build upon through graduate studies before entering the job market as full-fledged lawyers or executives in other fields of endeavor.
The Law program emphasizes equally the fundamentals of Civil law and Anglo-American law based on common law principles. This is more than simply an interesting pedagogical exercise; it is a very practical approach to the study of law in Europe today, where a partial blending of the two systems is currently taking place and an understanding of both the common law and the civil law is increasingly important. International business, in particular, requires an understanding of both systems of law, as does the European Union law.
The collaboration agreement between Anglo-American University and the University of Wales allows applicants onto the 3-year Bachelor’s program in Law taught by AAU at its Prague campus. Students will be awarded a British degree by the University of Wales. The quality of the degree is assured in line with the Code of Practice issued by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education of the United Kingdom. The University of Wales appraises the ongoing development of AAU educational activities, advises, and ensures that AAU courses maintain high quality standards.
