Faculty of Information Technology

The Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) at Brno University of Technology was established on 1st January 2002. It was developed from the former Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Brno University of Technology. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was established in 1964 and has had a long tradition in teaching computer science and informatics in the framework of the former Faculty of Electrical Engineering, later called Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (FEECS). At present, the Faculty of Information Technology provides education to future specialists in the Bachelor study programme and the Master study programme in Computer Science and Engineering and the Doctoral study programme in the scientific branch Information Technology. From academic year 2002/3 the Faculty offers a new three-year Bachelor study programme Information Technology (Bc.). Starting form the academic year 2005/2006 a two-year follow-up Master study programme Information Technology (Ing.) will be opened. These study programmes respect the principles of the Bologna Declaration for the development of tertiary education in Europe. The structures of both study programmes are fully compatible with the European space for higher education. The second-level students and postgraduate doctoral students are involved in research projects, which form an important part of the Faculty activities. A considerable part of teaching and research activities is centralized in the Computer Centre. Apart from the scheduled laboratory work, students work individually on their own semester, year or diploma projects. Laboratories equipped with personal computers are at their disposal as well as the laboratory with workstations. All the computers are interconnected in the local network Intranet, which is connected to the Internet.
