Unicorn University Launches Work & Study Program for IT Enthusiasts
Unicorn University, a prestigious private university in the Czech Republic, has recently introduced a new program called Work & Study.

The Work & Study program allows students to combine a junior IT position at the renowned technology company Unicorn with studying for a bachelor’s degree in Software Development at Unicorn University.
The collaboration between the university and Unicorn has led to the creation of the Work & Study program, which integrates practical work experience at a prestigious company with academic education. „Moreover, the employer partially funds the study, covering the full cost of the first year and half of the subsequent years,“ emphasizes Lukáš Debnár from the recruitment department at Unicorn University.
Unicorn offers positions in development, analysis, and testing to interested individuals, allowing them to engage in key projects while pursuing their studies. „The program is designed to meet the needs of today’s students and professionals who choose to study. Therefore, the teaching is conducted exclusively online, enabling a flexible combination of work and education,“ adds Lukáš Debnár, highlighting that all study materials are also available online.
The program is open to graduates of technical high schools and gymnasiums, enabling students to start working at Unicorn no later than during their second year of study. „Currently, the program is primarily focused on applicants from Prague, Liberec, Chrudim, Česká Třebová, Pardubice, and Prešov in Slovakia. However, it is open to applicants from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia because there is always a demand for quality IT professionals,“ says Gabriela Černá from the recruitment department.
To become a part of the Work & Study program, interested individuals can visit the university’s website and fill out an online form. Based on this, they will be invited to an admission process for studying at Unicorn University and also for an interview for a job position at Unicorn. „The final decision on admitting candidates to the program lies with the recruitment department at Unicorn, which carefully evaluates each applicant. This ensures that only the most suitable candidates, demonstrating both academic and professional qualities that meet our standards, are admitted to the program. We aim to provide quality education and job opportunities for future generations of top IT professionals,“ concludes Gabriela Černá.
