České vysoké učení technické v Praze

The Czech Technical University (ČVUT) has the status of a public higher education institution. The location of the university is the most beautiful city of Prague, the capital of modern Czechia. The beginning of the academic activity of Czech Technical University in Prague goes back centuries and dates back to 1707. This institution was established by the order of Emperor Joseph I. At that time he was the first European university of technical orientation. Authoritative expert ratings constantly confirm the prestige of the institution. At the moment, the institution occupies the 156th line of the world academic rating.

The scientific achievements of the university are enormous. More than 2,000 students are involved every year in real scientific projects. This gives unique skills of work and paves the way for the growth of the country's scientific potential.

• The university is a technical dominant in Eastern Europe, therefore engineering and natural sciences remain the main directions for obtaining knowledge.
• Higher demand for entrants is used by faculties, where one can study civil engineering, physics and astronomy, engineering and electrical engineering.
• Also excellent areas of education are different: telecommunications, robotics and nuclear engineering.

To motivate students, ČVUT has established partnerships with such giants of technical thought as BOSCH, TOYOTA, ROCKWELL, SIEMENS. Students who practice at such developed enterprises not only receive invaluable experience, but also can prove themselves as future workers.

Best graduates and teachers

• K. Doppler is a brilliant physicist of Austrian origin. Known due to research in the field of optics and acoustic components.
• V. Prelog is a Swede by nationality. Working as an organic chemist could become a Nobel Prize laureate. Thanks to his scientific research, the properties of antibiotics were significantly improved.
• O. Blaziczek is a Czech artist who created magnificent landscapes and amazing church paintings.

Some advantages of the Czech Technical University

• Students have the opportunity to study under the program with obtaining two diplomas. Knowledge acquisition takes place at partner universities. The process is as follows: a student of this university conducts part of the education in the US or Europe, and after graduation in ČVUT, a graduate you are given diplomas of two countries.
• The student union of the university has enough opportunities to support freshmen in the selection of housing or finding a decent job.
• Also worth noting at the annual music festivals and masquerade balls.

The standard length of a bachelor's program at ČVUT is 3, 3.5, or 4 years, offered in full-time or combined study format.

A master's program continues on from the bachelor's degree and typically lasts 1.5, 2, or 3 years, also available in full-time or combined format.

ČVUT's bachelor's programs are offered by nine faculties and units:

• Faculty of Civil Engineering,
• Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
• Faculty of Electrical Engineering,
• Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering,
• Faculty of Architecture,
• Faculty of Transportation Sciences,
• Faculty of Biomedical Engineering,
• Faculty of Information Technology,
• Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies.

The Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering runs a lecture series for high school students called Univerzita jaderného věku (University of the Nuclear Age) — eight lectures on nuclear reactor technology.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at ČVUT (FEL) hosts a series of events called Setkání s hudbou (Meeting with Music), a long-standing tradition that brings the university's academic community together with live musical performances. The concerts are open to students, staff, and alumni. The 57th concert in the series was a piano evening featuring pianist Martin Kasík.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering also runs a robotics seminar based on the Brian construction kit for secondary school teachers, introducing them to the practical use of LEGO robotics in teaching.

The gallery at the Faculty of Civil Engineering organizes exhibitions: the gallery's 19th exhibition featured drawings under the title Kouzlo historické techniky (The Magic of Historical Technology).

The ČVUT campus covers a large area and carries a rich historical heritage, where modern buildings stand alongside historical monuments. The main building is located in the northern part of Prague. Distinctive features of the Czech Technical University include its own publishing house and a scientific center for experimental physics. The university library holds the best collection of technical literature in all of Eastern Europe, with more than 1,000,000 volumes.

The university's infrastructure supports both effective learning and active leisure. Besides the extensive scientific library, the campus includes sports facilities, student cafes, and comfortable recreation areas.

One of ČVUT's large student residence complexes is Strahov, a 118,000 m² complex built in the mid-1960s with capacity for up to 4,400 residents. For the renovation project of this residence complex, designed for more than 4,000 students, the university will receive consulting services from the European Investment Bank.

In order to become a student of the Czech Technical University, you need to take several consecutive steps.

• The first step in the enrollment process will be the procedure for confirming the diploma of your country. To do this, you need to submit to the city of Prague a document on education, which marks the successes of previous years of study.
• After that, the entrants undergo special courses to prepare for special exams. The Czech education system differs significantly from the educational processes of other countries, therefore at the finish of the preparatory educational students pass necessarily examinations in biology, English, geography and chemistry. A strict bureaucratic procedure will be able to be circumvented only by those applicants who have graduated from a technical school or college and in total have 13 years of academic experience. To the certificate must attach an extract with estimates for 4 years before release.
• Those who wish to become a master of a master's degree must pass the procedure of nostrification. It consists in the mechanism for confirming the bachelor's degree. After the successful completion of this process, the entrant is sent for exams. Each faculty puts forward its own requirements here. Since ČVUT has a technical focus, it will be necessary to pass examinations in mathematical disciplines and physics, as well as knowledge of the English language.
• As for teaching, the educational process takes place here in two languages: Czech and English. It is worth noting that those who receive knowledge using the Czech language are educated for free. The rest is expected to be paid annually. In the admissions office it is necessary to provide certificates confirming the required level of proficiency in the Czech language. Another option is to show your knowledge directly in ČVUT. You can also take one-year language courses worth € 3,000.
• A part of applicants, wishing to learn using English, provides a certificate confirming the necessary level of possession.

Documents are accepted until the end of March. More exact dates can be found on the official website, as different faculties exhibit different terms.

How much is the tuition fee?

In the Czech Republic, all higher education institutions with state ownership give educational services free of charge (only in those courses taught in Czech language). Obtaining knowledge in English will cost an amount equivalent to 3,000 euros. Quite a large part of the student's financial resources will be spent on rental housing. The renting of a dorm room will cost about 140 euros per month. If you focus on an apartment, then in Prague it will cost about 450 euros. The food will be about 250 euros per month. The bonus provided by the university can include a 50 percent discount on travel in public transport and preferential visits to places such as a museum, a cinema and a sports complex.

With excellent academic achievement, students have the opportunity to receive a scholarship. The university itself does not appoint scholarships and grants, but actively cooperates with dozens of educational funds. Scholarship amounts reach 500 euros per month.

Also ČVUT actively cooperates with other universities in student exchange programs. Everyone can go to increase their knowledge in another country and receive 400 euro scholarships monthly.
