Mission Impossible, Spider-Man, Amadeus, Casino Royale, From Hell, The Illusionist. Do you know what all these world-famous films and many others have in common? They were all partly shot on location in Prague. In many of the film scenes you can see both the historic and the modern part of the city. Because that’s exactly what Prague is like.
It has been evolving into its present appearance for eleven centuries now. It was the capital of the Duchy of Bohemia and the Czech Kingdom, and the seat of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in the world, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the same time, you can find a number of masterpieces of modern architecture there, too.
As a student, you will be able to get thoroughly acquainted with this beautiful city. You will enjoy not only delicious food and the famous Czech beer, monuments, concerts, exhibitions, but also the friendly student community at CTU where lots of events are held on the campus and directly at our Faculty. And, if you want, you can participate in many of them.
If you manage your time effectively, in addition to your duties at the Faculty, you will also have enough free time for the activities that the student life in Prague and on the Dejvice Campus offers.
