科技大学被认为是高等教育的现代化发展。然而，位于布拉格的捷克技术大学（CTU），世界上最古老的科技大学之一，于1707年开办
这所大学由皇帝约瑟夫一世创建，早期教授的最重要的科目之一是防御艺术，因为皇帝希望提高捷克对入侵者的防御能力。还讨论了与平民生活有关的其他专题，包括勘测、测绘、排水和建造起重机械
如今，该大学已将防御工事从课程中删除，取而代之的是八个学院：土木工程、机械工程、电气工程、核科学和物理工程、建筑、运输科学、生物医学工程和信息技术。提供120多个学习课程，其中一些课程可以选择英语学习
每个学院都有自己的录取要求，有些可能会要求申请人参加考试
该大学有自己的管弦乐队，CTU学院管弦乐队，总部设在伯利恒教堂。该乐团的创作灵感来自剑桥大学管弦乐团的访问；几年后，反恐组的管弦乐团得以在剑桥演出
CTU的家乡布拉格是欧洲最美丽的首都之一，与巴黎或罗马不相上下。它的老城是一个鹅卵石街道的迷宫，与它的美术馆的现代怪癖形成鲜明对比。世界上最大的古堡耸立在城市的上方。游客可以欣赏警卫的更换，或者只需支付少量费用，就可以在里面欣赏宏伟的旧大厅
Technical universities are thought of as a modern development in higher education. However, the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), one of the oldest techs in the world, opened in 1707.
The university was founded by Emperor Josef I. One of the most important subjects taught in its early days was fortification arts, as the Emperor wanted to improve Czech defences against invaders. Other topics relevant to civilian life were also covered, including surveying, mapping, drainage and constructing mechanisms for lifting heavy loads.
Today the university has dropped fortifications from its curriculum and instead has eight faculties: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering, Architecture, Transportation Sciences, Biomedical Engineering and Information Technology. Over 120 programmes of study are on offer, some with the option to study in English.
Each faculty sets its own admission requirements and some may require applicants to sit an examination.
The university has its own orchestra, the CTU Academic Orchestra, based in the Bethlehem Chapel. The orchestra’s creation was inspired by a visit from the Cambridge University Orchestra; several years later, CTU’s Orchestra was able to perform at Cambridge.
CTU’s home, Prague, is one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe, on par with Paris or Rome. Its Old Town is a maze of cobbled streets, contrasting with the modern eccentricity of its art galleries. The biggest ancient castle in the world rises above the city. Sightseers can enjoy watching the changing of the guards or, for a small fee, look inside at the magnificent old halls.
