On July 14, 2026, an excursion to VUT (Brno University of Technology) took place. A group of applicants from Ukraine visited the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication Technologies, located at: Technická 3058/10. Oksana Stupak, the founder of EdVista, organized the visit. Read the report about this event below. You may want to join the next meeting of a similar format.
How the excursion to VUT faculty in Brno took place
Not only Oksana Stupak but also Vice-Rector for Internationalization Stanislav Klusáček and Vice-Rector for Studies Vlasta Sedláková welcomed the applicants interested in studying in the Czech Republic. The young people explored student life and the bachelor’s programs at FEKT.
Admission to a Czech university is a step you should carefully consider. Visiting the institution helps a lot in this: it is better to see and hear everything yourself. On the website you can learn about English-language and other educational programs, and moreover explore the admission conditions and the structure of study. However, a tour of VUT is a live communication and a completely different experience.
As part of the meeting, university representatives presented the FEKT VUT faculty, talked about its structure and the nuances of preparing for admission. The tour program included the following parts:
- Getting to know the faculty.
- Overview of available educational programs.
- Providing information on studying in English and Czech.
- A story about all the nuances of admission.
- A conversation about the life of student youth.
- Discussion of the course of study.
That is, it was not just a walk through the corridors, but a truly useful meeting. The students had an interesting time and received answers to all their questions from representatives of the faculty.
It was the live format that became the main component of the meeting. The applicants were not readers of information. They directly communicated with university representatives. This turned the usual acquaintance with information into an active dialogue. As a result, the students left without a single unclear moment.
Excursion to VUT: what applicants learned about the faculty and programs
The excursion to VUT let the students explore the educational opportunities of FEKT in detail. In particular, the applicants learned that the faculty has 11 full-time bachelor’s programs with a duration of 3 years. The main ones are as follows:
- Automation and measurement technology.
- Bioinformatics and biomedical technology.
- Communication technologies and electronics.
- Information security.
- High-current electrical engineering and power engineering.
- Microelectronics and technologies.
- Audio engineering and others.
In general, the directions cover a wide range of modern electrical engineering and electronics, communication and information technologies. Therefore, such a wide choice showed young people that directions within one faculty can be different. The students learned that within FEKT there is a place for everyone who is interested, in particular, in electronics, automation, information security, semiconductors and biomedical technologies.
An important part of the excursion was obtaining information about the English-language bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering. Ukrainian applicants were told that FEKT can be considered not only in the context of studying in the Czech language. This program has two specializations: Power Systems and Automation and Electronics and Communication Technologies.
What accession issues were discussed at the meeting?
The main goal of the excursion to VUT was to present the faculty. Students also asked dozens of questions that interested them. FEKT representatives provided comprehensive answers. During the discussion, the university admission procedure was actively discussed. Young people were also very interested in the course of study and the nuances of student life.
For applicants, the discussion turned out to be no less important than the presentation. Each person present was able to clarify the points that concerned him. Obtaining the maximum amount of information turned out to be relevant for Ukrainian students. The fact is that now they need not only to choose an educational program, but also to understand the following points:
- how is the study organized;
- what is the student environment in the Czech Republic;
- what are the requirements for applicants.
However, the meeting that took place cannot be called a substitute for obtaining up-to-date information about admission. Current requirements, deadlines and a list of documents – all this needs to be clarified directly and taking into account the chosen program. On our website you will also find a lot of useful information. In particular, you may find useful material on how to choose a university and a specialty in the Czech Republic just 9 months before admission.
Why visits like the VUT tour are important for prospective students
A prospective student needs to compare Czech universities and understand where exactly he wants to study. At EdVista, we do everything we can to ensure that applicants can get to know Czech universities not only online, but also in person. The excursion to VUT provided an opportunity to:
- learn more about the faculty;
- see how the university lives;
- learn about the educational opportunities of the institution;
- talk to representatives of the faculty;
- ask questions about admission and study.
An important component of the excursion was communication within the group itself. Applicants came to the meeting with different interests, expectations and questions. During the event, they heard the opinions of other participants, learned about their interests and
Impressions from the meeting
As the students noted, the excursion to VUT turned out to be very important for them, especially now – at the stage of comparing several educational institutions. Personal acquaintance with the faculty gave the boys and girls the opportunity to understand what questions they need to ask themselves for the final choice.
For us, excursions and other similar events are part of comprehensive support for students. The goal of EdVista is not only to prepare young people for admission. We want students to orient themselves in the Czech higher education system and consciously make a choice of university. Thanks to the event, we have understood the needs of Ukrainian applicants even better. This will help us to continue to pay maximum attention to the practical aspects of preparing young people. The support should be useful for those who plan to get an education in the Czech Republic.
EdVista is grateful to the representatives of FEKT VUT for the excursion and the opportunity to clearly show everything to applicants. We hope that there will be even more such meetings. This way, our future students will be able to get to know different universities, compare their educational programs and other features.
To sum up: the excursion to VUT was one of the important steps for the group of applicants from Ukraine. There are still many stages of preparation ahead of them. However, already now, getting to know the university environment has made the future path for students more concrete and understandable.
