The beginning of the academic year at universities is here, along with new students. At Brno University of Technology, more first-year students enrolled this year compared to the previous one. The growing interest in studying is evident across disciplines, with civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering being the most popular. More students enrolled at BUT than last year. | Author: Jan Prokopius The number of new students at BUT has been successfully increasing in recent years, and currently the university has more than 18,000 students. This year, a total of 5,660 students entered their first year, which represents an almost 7% increase in the number of enrolled students in Czech study programs compared to last year. Most of the new university students – about one fifth – come from Brno and its surroundings. However, more and more often, students are also enrolling from much more distant cities such as Tachov, Domažlice, or Karlovy Vary. “We are pleased that we are able to reach the young generation and show them that studying at BUT has great prospects. The increased number of newly enrolled students confirms for us that the path we are taking is effective and meaningful,” said Helena Sadílková, who is responsible for applicants and prospective students at BUT. New study programs such as Environmental Engineering, E-Mobility and Sustainability, or Chip and Semiconductor Technology Design are also proving successful among freshmen. “This year, the program E-Mobility and Sustainability opened for the first time, and we have 31 enrolled students. Considering this is a brand-new field, it is a very good result that confirms its attractiveness,” said program guarantor Jan Bárta from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication. There is also interest in new study programs. | Author: Jan Prokopius The increasing interest in studying at BUT is confirmed not only by the growing number of enrolled students but also by the rising number of applications. This year, applicants submitted a record 14,284 applications for Czech bachelor’s programs, the highest in the past decade. Most of them – a total of 13,336 – were submitted in the first round of the admission process. Future applicants will be able to apply to BUT starting in early November, when applications open for most study programs. Exceptions are the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Architecture, where applications are open from October to November (FFA) and until mid-January (FA), respectively, due to entrance talent exams. One program at the Faculty of Civil Engineering is already open, with the application deadline in early January. Related articles:
