Hradec Králové

Hradec Králové is situated at the confluence of the Rivers Labe and Orlice in north-eastern Bohemia of the Czech Republic. It ranks among the largest and most important cities in the Czech Republic. It is a metropolis of Eastern Bohemia, a regional capital, with seats of state institutions, important companies, museums, galleries, theatres and other cultural and sporting organisations. In addition, Hradec Králové is a university city since there are six faculties of three higher education institutes. The population in the city is almost one hundred thousand and Hradec Králové offers a high standard of living. There are many architecturally important sites in Hradec Králové. To make sure that you do not get lost in this open-air textbook of architecture, follow the Sightseeing Routes of the City. Each route has its own topic of a certain architectural or historic period of the development of the city. Information boards are placed along these routes and more materials about these walks can be obtained at information centres on request.

University of Hradec Králové

The University of Hradec Králové is a young established public educational institution founded in 1959. The university consists of four parts which are: the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Informatics and Management, Philosophical Faculty and Faculty of Science — all offer studies in more than a hundred fully accredited bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree courses enroll around 9,000 students annually.
The rich spectrum of educational activity includes fields of economy, management and computer science at the Faculty of Informatics and Management; social sciences at the Philosophical Faculty; educational and artistic disciplines at the Faculty of Education, and science and technology courses at the Faculty of Science. The faculties prepare their students with an emphasis on their future successful professional life.
The continually developing university campus Na Soutoku (At the Confluence), is very conveniently located right in the city centre and is easily accessible for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike, and is linked by public transport to all parts of Hradec Králové.
The university pays great deal of attention to the care of its human potential (we tend to see potential in humans, rather than a resource), including international students and employees. The indisputable advantage of the university is its relatively intimate environment that allows students and teachers to establish personal contact, which helps to discover each pupil’s individual needs and set specific learning targets according to the student’s performance and the chosen specialization. Although we are modern school with focus on the future, we are proud to keep alive the legacy of the old European academic tradition.
