No old-school stuff here!
We have absolutely perfect facilities for our students. Our state-of the-art laboratories see millions of crowns of investment every year and our students are looked after by top-class tutors, academics and a helpful study department. But the student community itself also does a great job. That’s because here in Brno we really put a lot into our community and networking.
AdMaS Centre
By far the most modern research centre around. The AdMaS (Advanced Materials, Structures and Technologies) Centre is a modern science centre and a comprehensive construction-focused research institution, that’s an integral part of our faculty. It has modern laboratory facilities with state-of the-art equipment, including more than 250 devices and instruments worth worth US$15 million. It specialises in research into advanced building materials, structures and technologies, and their development and application in the field of urban and municipal construction, transportation systems and infrastructure. Here, students can work on their diplomas and dissertations or get involved in a wide range of research projects under the guidance of top-class experts.
Live the Brno life
The city has a truly incredible atmosphere.
This is clear from the dozens of awards the city has received in recent years.
Brno is a metropolis of clubs, bars, pubs, wine bars and cafés. When the sun comes out, we locals sit out on the sidewalks in the city centre late into the evening.
You can find vineyards just beyond the city limits. Or amazing caves and a huge chasm in the nearby famous Moravian Karst region.
Everything is within easy reach. And you can easily tackle the whole of the city centre on foot.
The renowned British
TIME OUT
magazine rated Brno the second most attractive city for tourists in Europe.
Right in the heart of Europe there’s a place that’s sure to capture your heart.
It’s hard to find a better base for long weekend trips in the region. Vienna and Bratislava are just a 90-minute train or bus ride away.
