Faculty of Information Technology

Our mission is to provide top technical education in the major fields of informatics, focusing on informatics and communication technologies at bachelor, master and doctoral level, and to conduct research and development comparable with that carried out at leading European faculties of information technology.

In the Czech Republic, we are unique

  • Our graduates have a 100% employment rate thanks to high-quality education in all areas of IT and two career fairs, COFIT, organized at the faculty
  • We cover all areas of computer science 
  • Students learn in the most modernly equipped classrooms:
  • We cooperate with the University of Antwerp within the Double Degree program, allowing graduates to receive a degree from both universities in a single course of study. This program offers a doctoral program or a master's specialization in Digital Business Engineering, focused on integrating IT, business, and economics
  • We offer a follow-up master's program in Quantum Informatics, aimed at preparing specialists for the technological practice related to the second quantum revolution

Globally, we are unique

  • We received the prestigious European grant PoliRuralPlus worth nearly 6 million EUR. The goal is to improve and support the sustainability of regional development using AI and spatial data
  • We contributed to the research of programming languages in the Evolving Language Ecosystems (ELE) project and the Big Code project of Prof. MSc. Jan Vitka, Ph.D.
  • We participated in the international Research Center for Informatics (RCI) project, collaborating with other faculties of CTU
  • In cooperation with a Dutch institution, we developed the groundbreaking web portal Data Stewardship Wizard, which aids researchers and data managers in the current trend of massive data growth
  • We are experts at weather prediction and planetary atmosphere modeling – our scientists won a competition for modeling exoplanet atmospheres and the competition for the most accurate weather prediction at the prestigious NeurIPS 2022 conference
  • As a partner, we contribute to a key part of the European project Open Science Plan-Track-Assess Pathways (OSTrails) under the Horizon Europe program

Future plans

  • Launching a large research project GAČR EXPRO by Prof. Jan Vitka within the Programming Languages Laboratory
  • Expanding the study offer with a new master's specialization in Computer Graphics, Vision, and continuously innovating existing programs and specializations
  • For the academic year 2025/2026, we are opening two new master's study programs: Quantum Informatics and Computer Science Teaching for Secondary Schools

We are members of

Our academic staff are members of

  • International Association for Cryptographic Research
  • EUROMICRO (Board of Directors – Representative for the Czech Republic)
  • The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

What we are proud of

  • We are the most sought-after faculty at CTU – FIT has nearly 1/5 of all applications to CTU
  • FIT graduates have 100% employment in the job market
  • We cover all areas of computer science
  • We have opened the most modernly equipped Robotic Agents Laboratory and the Graphics and Game Design Laboratory (ggLab), and we have built the Network Visualization Laboratory SAGElab in collaboration with Cesnet and FEL CTU
  • We enabled the creation of the faculty research group G²OAT, which organizes regular seminars
  • We organize significant conferences – LAW FIT, The Prague Stringology Conference, Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS), Prague Embedded Systems Workshop (PESW), Prague PostgreSQL Developers Day (P2D2)
  • We founded and equipped a recording studio with professional equipment.
  • Every second month, we release a new episode of our podcast Jedničky a Nuly, where we interview FIT scientists on current IT topics
  • We organize events for applicants and secondary schools such as Open Days, summer schools, excursions, the FIKS seminar, and others
  • For our students, we organize Research Summer (VýLet)
  • FIT students come up with innovative ideas in their final theses, national and international hackathons, and competitions, contributing not only to the professional community
