Global Players has united efforts with the European Study Abroad Center in Prague to offer a diverse academic curriculum at one of the Czech Republic's top universities. The University of Economics in Prague was originally founded in 1919 as the Commercial College and later declared an independent university known in the Czech Republic by the name Vysoká _kola ekonomická v Praze (VŠE), and accredited by the Ministry of Education. In the last 10 years VŠE has gone on to become a full member of both the Community of European Management Schools and the Partnership in International Management, further establishing its ' reputation in the European Union as a progressive leading university.

With six faculties including: Finance and Accounting, International Relations, Business Administration, Informatics and Statistics, Economics and Public Administration, and Management, it is one of the largest higher education institutions and presently the only university to offer students degrees at the bachelor, masters, and doctoral levels.  During the academic year, VŠE enrolls about 15,000 students (from 80 countries) who are served by more than 650 academic staff; sixty-one percent of which have doctoral degrees in their field.
