Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU, ?eské vysoké u?ení technické v Praze – ?VUT in Czech) is one of the largest universities in the Czech Republic and the oldest technical university in Central Europe.

Faculties

Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering

The Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering CTU (FNSPE CTU, ) was established in 1955 as part of the Charles University but in 1959 became a new special faculty of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The establishment of the Faculty was connected with the beginning of a new era of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. A complex approach to all nuclear branches was intended, so specialists from universities, technological institutions, and industry were brought together to comply with this task. Later, newly developed areas of physics application, e.g. plasma and solid state physics, lasers, cosmic research, etc., were included in the Faculty curricula.

The Faculty is equipped with several large research facilities, such as the VR-1 training nuclear reactor, scanning electron microscopes, high power laser systems, computational and advanced radiochemical laboratories, satellite laser ranging station (Helwan, Egypt), etc.

The current structure of FNSPE includes 10 academic departments:

• Mathematics
• Physics
• Nuclear Chemistry
• Dosimetry
• Application of Ionizing Radiation
• Materials
• Solid State Engineering
• Physical Electronics
• Nuclear Reactors
• Software Engineering in Economics

The Department of Mathematics has established a centre for supporting training of visually impaired university students, referred to as the Tereza Centre. The centre is equipped with Braille displays, large monitors, speech outputs, a closed circuit television, scanners, a Braille printer, and a specialized device enabling perception of pictures and other graphic information. Visually handicapped students can connect themselves to the Internet.
