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

For those interested in studying in a foreign language, we can study some programs in English. We offer all of our students the opportunity to study abroad as an integral part of their study program in Europe and elsewhere. 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 they need to succeed in their studies.

During your studies, you can participate in a range of student competitions and attend special lectures, seminars, and consultancies given by well-known personalities and 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 the university institutes: the Klockner Institute, the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies, and the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics. In the 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.

In addition to the bachelor study programs offered in the Czech language, CTU in Prague offers the opportunity to take programs taught in the English language and Russian language.

The standard length of these study programs is 3 or 4 years, and students may study full-time or part-time. On completing their studies, graduates are awarded a bachelor's degree and receive a bachelor's title. At the Faculty of Architecture, graduates of the study program 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 program is accredited with the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports, and is by 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, organizations, 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. 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 support from the CTU community in general.
