Our oldest faculties are the Faculties of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering. More recently established faculties are the Faculties of Architecture and Transportation Sciences. Our newest faculties are the Faculties of Biomedical Engineering and Information Technologies.

Each faculty of CTU, and some of the Institutes at the university, organise and teach their own study programmes, and each faculty and institution organizes its own entrance procedures. In most cases, there is a written test based on the prerequisites for studying at the faculty. For bachelor study programmes, the tests are mainly on mathematics and physics. The entrance tests for the Faculty of Architecture include a talent test (an aptitude test). If you have very good previous results, or if you competed in a secondary school Olympiad for maths and physics, or have special achievements related to your proposed studies, have a good look at the conditions in the entrance procedures. You may fulfill the requirements for acceptance without an entrance examination.

For those interested in studying in a foreign language, we offer an opportunity to study some programmes in English.We offer to all of our students the opportunity to study abroad as an integral part of their study programme in Europe and elsewhere in the world. It is possible to study abroad more than once.
The ELSA Centre offers special services for students with disabilities, and provides the specific types of help that they need in order to succeed in their studies.

During your studies, you can take part in a range of student competitions and attend special lectures, seminars and consultancies given by well-known personalities and by guest speakers.

CTU holds the Diploma Supplement Label award, which means that each of our graduates automatically and without charge receives a Czech-English Diploma Supplement, which explains and supplements the information given on your degree certificate.

Research is carried out at all eight faculties, and also at the university institutes: the Klokner Institute, the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies, and the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics.In future, too, we aim to be a prestigious university where the emphasis will be on high-quality scientific and research work, and on being a significant performer in the European research and education space.

The standard length of these study programmes is 3 or 4 years, and students may study on a full-time or a part-time basis.On successfully completing their studies, graduates are awarded a bachelor degree and receive the bachelor title. At the Faculty of Architecture, graduates of the study programme in Design are awarded a bachelor of arts degree and the title"bakalář umění".

Bachelor graduates have the required theoretical knowledge and practical skills to perform technical functions in industry, institutions, schools, commerce and services. They are also well prepared for further studies.

The composition of the courses meets the highest European education quality requirements for the qualifications of graduates. Every bachelor study programme is accredited with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, and is in accordance with the European education requirements based on the Bologna process.

The university’s reputation is also enhanced by the internationally acclaimed science and research projects carried out at CTU, and by the university’s active participation in international networks, organisations and competitions.

The international dimension is rapidly becoming a standard aspect of the day-to-day work of faculties, departments, research teams, student dormitories, etc., and the difference between national and international has become smaller and less significant. International activities are coordinated by the International Office, in close collaboration with the very active International Student Club (ISC), and with support from the CTU community in general.
