Czech Technical University in Prague

Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) is a leading technical research university with a long tradition, located in the picturesque city of Prague and is the oldest technical university in Europe, founded in 1707.

The University’s long tradition of cutting edge science and engineering, together with high-quality technical education, ensues from the work of many great personalities, including the famous physicist Christian Doppler, notable chemists such as Vladimir Prelog, and renowned engineers such as F. J. Gerstner and J. Bozek.

Currently about 22 000 students (of which over 3 000 are international) are enrolled at eight faculties and five institutes, covering a total of 132 accredited bachelor, master and doctoral study programmes with 482 different fields.

The University has built up strong bonds with its industrial partners, including important global players such as Toyota, Skanska, Bosch, Siemens, Honeywell, GE, Rockwell, ABB, McKinsey, DaimlerChrysler, and Skoda-Volkswagen.  Our alumni work as engineers and/or managers in these companies.

Others venture into starting up their own company, including Netbeans and Telematix, for example, which now operate internationally.

Many graduates become successful researchers and professors at foreign universities and in unique partner laboratories, including CERN and the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
