For more than one thousand and one hundred years, visitors to Prague have been trying to give Prague a suitable name: stone Prague, golden Prague, magic Prague, hundred-spired Prague, Prague, mother of the all cities... Each of these highlight one of its many attractive features.
Hundred-spired Prague – as this name suggests, Prague is the city of architectural treasures. It might be impossible to count all the large and small spires of Prague churches, palaces and houses. This city has been developing for more than one thousand years, in the course of time many memorable buildings have been built. In spite of often having been destroyed, Prague was able to keep its enormous legacy. It excels in Romanesque monuments; it is known as a world-renowned work of Gothic city planning. The re-catholicization of the country was accompanied by a remarkable development of the Baroque style. Hundreds of artists, mainly from Italy and Germany, gave Prague its Baroque appearance, which the city has been preserving since that time. The countenance of Prague reflects every cultural period and every artistic style.
The name Magic Prague is known all over the world. Doctor Faust's Prague, Golem's Prague - this name was given to the city after the mythical clay giant symbolizing Jewish magic. Rudolphian Prague - after Emperor Rudolf II, who contributed to its reputation to a great extent. This emperor of alchemists, the admirer of occultism and Maecenas gathered in Prague one of the biggest collections of art of that time. The remains of this collection, still preserved in Prague, are remarkable. However, the emperor left behind something that cannot be taken from the city - the atmosphere of mystery.
CZU was founded in 1952 and consists of six faculties (Environmental Sciences; Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources; Economics and Management; Forestry and Wood Sciences; Engineering; Tropical AgriSciences) and one institute (Institute of Education and Communication). The University focuses on education and research activities of various aspects of sustainable natural resources utilization – forestry, agriculture, water management, landscape protection, country development, fishing, hunting, game keeping, soil protection, renewable resources, energy, bioenergetics, environmental education, environmental management, waste management, biotechnologies, food industry, etc. Conservation biology is an important part of education and research (including a study programme entitled Nature Conservation) – protected area management, endangered species protection, ecosystems management, etc. The University also cooperates with international research and educational institutions (international projects, summer schools, international study programmes etc.). The University offers bachelor’s and master’s programmes in English and Czech, as well as doctoral studies (Ph.D.). The University campus is unique among Czech universities in the sense of facility concentration. The University is located in a suburban area which enabled the creation of a green, open but centralized campus.
