The Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague is one of the largest schools providing civil engineering university education world-wide. Over the years, graduates from the school have created engineering works which have laid grounds for the school's famous historical tradition. Keeping with the tradition of excellence, today's graduates exhibit a high quality of engineering craftsmanship and skills. The faculty has set up a modern system of organization of instruction based upon a greater flexibility of course selection for the final two years of study, and scheduling of courses according to students' individual interests. The new system places increasing demands on the quality of students' results which are examined and tested thoroughly throughout the whole study period, measuring that the students gain deep knowledge of their field of study. They learn to make independent decisions, bear responsibility, and respond rapidly to changing needs of industry, business, and social environment through changes in their professional knowledge structure. Therefore, during their studies, they can flexibly form their own professional profile and specialization in close coordination with major organizations and firms in order to be prepared for the needs of their future profession, creating favourable conditions for their careers. This is how the Faculty prepares its students for top positions in the practical domain.
