Student services
International Relations Department in cooperation with International Students Club BUT organize Welcome Week for all international students coming to study at BUT.
The Welcome Week provides you with the information you will need to make your stay and study as an international student at Brno University of Technology as easy and enjoyable as possible.
International Students Club will provide you help and advice concerning everyday matters and problems you may deal with before, during and after your arrival. Also during the whole semester ISC will organize trips, excursions and free time activities of all kinds.
Housing services
If you enjoy busy student life and want to have school, refectories and sports ground at hand... choose dormitories Pod Palackého vrchem. They are part of university campus and can provide accommodation for ∼2 500 students – in rooms with 1/2/3 beds with own bathroom, toilet and kitchenette.
Library services
The Central Library has existed since 1899 when a library was established at the Czech Technical University in Brno (a predecessor of Brno University of Technology). Until 1911, it was situated in Jaselská Street, then moving to Veveří 95 (today's campus of BUT Faculty of Civil Engineering). At that time, its collections included 12,373 volumes
Medical services
PharmaciesMost of the medicines available elsewhere can be obtained here, though not necessarily in every pharmacy. In case of need of some kind of medicine in the evening, at night or over the weekend, when shops are normally closed, there is a non-stop pharmacy located conveniently in the centre of the city, Koliště 47.
Campus life
The main center of students life: no one calls it other than „Palačák“. Here you can find four faculties, refectories, cafes, students club, sports grounds... and also the largest dormitories. So put your slippers on and hurry to the lecture.
Sports facilities
All students of BUT can sign in to two sports lessons per week for free. And there is plenty to choose from: athletic stadium with olympic parameters, modern gyms, tennis courts, climbing wall, fitness – and even our own shipyard at the Svratka river.
Student clubs
The Student Chamber represents students of all BUT faculties being part of the BUT Academic Senate, which is the supreme academic representative body according to the University Act.
Local branches of international organizations:
- Erasmus Student Network (ESN) – International Student Club (ISC) BUT
- Board of European Students of Technology (BEST) Brno
- International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (AESTE) Brno
Brno University of Technology received, as one of the first in the Czech Republic, the ECTS and DS Label certificates. Both certificates are proof that BUT meets the criteria of the EU in the area of higher education and in addition, they make a major contribution towards broadening mobility and increasing the internationalization of the university.
