Lifelong learning

Lifelong learning is an important component of the University‘s educational activity. There are many options of gaining professional knowledge in specific branches of study available at the Faculty in addition to full-time studies.

I. Preparatory courses for admissions proceedings to the University

The applicants may take the opportunity of preparing for the entrance examinations by attending official courses organized by the Faculty.

We offer:

II. EXCEPTIONAL STUDY OF SELECTED COURSES

Within these courses, the Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague enables anybody interested to take selected individual courses taught in the Bachelor or Master Degree studies and that according to the applicant’s own choice. Participants may attend the course even without taking the final credit test or examination.

III. PROFESSIONALLY FOCUSED COURSES OFFERED BY INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS

Some departments of the Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague have prepared other comprehensive courses for those interested in lifelong learning. In this way, they respond to the participants’ interest in extending their professional career options. The courses reflect the current issues and trends in the building industry.

IV. UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE

U3A is an educational programme aimed at 60+ participants from the general public. These courses offer a variety of interesting and useful topics contributing to the participant’s personal development in the area of technical and natural sciences (e.g. historic bridges, optical illusions and other “magic deceptions” in mathematics), or architecture and culture (e.g. Prague’s historical heritage). Thus, U3A students may also get an insight into the branches they did not have the opportunity to develop during their professional life, extending the horizon of their knowledge and interests at a higher age. Another benefit is networking with other course participants and sharing common experiences.
