The academic year schedule is changing. Given the development of the the current situation, the FIT management has excluded "Option 1" from the plans of the examination period and state final examinations. Therefore, the examination period is postponed by at least three weeks for all students and will not start before 25 May 2020. "The situation is constantly changing, so far we are counting on 'Option 2'. The examination period is formally extended to 30 September. That does not mean the exams will run throughout this period, but we have more room to set dates for exams, state final examinations and graduations according to previously published plans. By the end of April we will provide further information," said Jaroslav Dytrych, Vice-Dean for Education in the Bachelor Study Program.

The deadlines for electronic submission of theses are also changing. The faculty management has set final deadlines, which are on May 28 for bachelor thesis and June 3 for master thesis.

The faculty also prepares measures for the operation of the study department or library in the emergency mode when the relevant measures are released by BUT.

BUT contact teaching will be cancelled until at least April 17, 2020. This applies to all BUT faculties and departments as well as to individual tuition in laboratories or studios. Further information on distance learning, obtaining credits, examinations, final theses and exams, study fees or halls of residence can be found HERE. 

Dear students,

In view of the declaration of the state of emergency as of March 12, 2020 and based on today's (March 13, 2020) decree of the BUT Crisis Staff, we are hereby urging you to return immediately from abroad back home. This applies to all BUT students and staff who are currently abroad.

All Erasmus+ participants will be able to reimburse travel expenses or other extraordinary related costs that will need to be supported by documents, so please keep them. All prematurely terminated mobility under Erasmus+ will be recognised as force majeure. We will deal with administrative matters related to early termination of study stays and internships after your return to the Czech Republic. In the case of difficulties or unprovisable but expedient expenses, you will be reimbursed to the FIT in agreement with the coordinator.

If you continue your study abroad, there is a high risk that the local university will also be closed over time and that the lessons will take place on-line. Based on the information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a later return may be impossible due to stopped cross-border traffic. More on the website of the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of the Interior.

If you have not already done so, or if your decision has changed, please tell us immediately your decision - to return or continue to stay abroad. If you decide to return, contact the study advisor. FIT will help you to solve your study complications. 

We also remind you of the mandatory quarantine, which applies to all who return from high-risk countries from 13 March. The list of risk countries may change, so check the Ministry of Health website. Carefully read and follow instructions on Information to ensure teaching at university.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in managing this situation
