Education

At the BUT, we understand education in a broader context than just the transfer of knowledge. We see it as a way to develop expertise, critical thinking, responsibility and the ability to respond to the social and technological challenges of today. Our goal is to prepare students not only for a successful professional career, but also for an active and responsible life in a rapidly changing world.

How do we achieve our goals?

• Innovation in study programmes
  We are constantly developing our range of accredited programmes and fields of study. Many of them are taught in foreign languages, which ensures openness and accessibility for students from all over the world. We regularly update our teaching content to reflect the latest technological trends and the needs of society.
• International cooperation and mobility
  Thanks to the European ECTS Label and DS Label, we offer a transparent system of recognition of studies and support a wide range of exchange opportunities. Students can participate in Erasmus, CEEPUS or joint and double degree programmes.
• Sustainability as part of education
  We integrate sustainability principles not only into the operation of the university, but also into teaching and research. We offer students the opportunity to learn how to design technologies and solutions with the environment and social responsibility in mind.
• Cooperation with practice
  We cooperate with industrial companies, research institutions and partners at home and abroad. This results in programmes and internships that enable students to combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience and prepare them for the rapidly changing job market.

Entrepreneurial University - support for start-up and spin-off companies

The BUT has an ecosystem called ContriBUTe, which offers support to students and employees in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation through several types of separate programmes. It includes, for example, teaching a course focused on the development of a business idea, a competitive showcase of these ideas, the possibility of individual consultations for starting and developing a business, workshops, providing access to research and creative infrastructure, networking events or legal and methodological support in the framework of knowledge transfer.

Competitions, events and community

Various events and competitions are organised at the BUT to promote student ideas. These include, for example, the Come to Business! competition, BoosterChallenge, Star(t)up@FIT and others. For all DIYers and makers, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has set up a design and prototyping workplace called StrojLAB.

From idea to company: start-up, spin-off and spin-out companies of the BUT

BUT fully supports the creation of companies founded by students or employees that use intellectual property created at the university for its commercialization.

Connection to the regional ecosystem

In cooperation with the South Moravian Innovation Centre (JIC), BUT participates in the operation of technology incubators on campus and the KUMST creative incubator.
