BUT Junior opens the door to knowledge for children. They began their studies with matriculation.

The next edition of the popular program BUT Junior I is here! A hundred children passionate about science, technology, and art started their junior studies over the weekend with a ceremonial matriculation at the Rectorate of BUT. During the year, they will take part in eight weekend lessons at the faculties and institutes of Brno University of Technology, where they will discover university life.

Thanks to the BUT Junior I educational program, future scientists will once again dive into diverse fields ranging from physics and IT to architecture and entrepreneurship. At the start of their study journey, a ceremonial matriculation took place, where the new juniors took an oath, received their matriculation certificates, and became part of a community that will allow them to experience how technology and innovation work in practice.

The youngest students were guided through the ceremony by BUT Vice-Rectors Vlasta Sedláková and Milan Houser. “I am extremely pleased that you have decided to join this exceptional journey designed especially for you – young, curious, and courageous souls eager to explore the world, learn new things, and go beyond the boundaries of traditional school education. Our junior university opens the door to a fascinating world of science, technology, and art.

From October to May, the children will gradually visit eight faculties and institutes of Brno University of Technology, and the academic year will culminate with a ceremonial graduation. BUT has been organizing the BUT Junior I program for many years with the goal of bringing the world of technical and natural sciences closer to the younger generation and introducing them to university life, modern technologies, and the latest discoveries. The faculties will also welcome parents, presenting their facilities as well as current research and scientific topics resonating in society.
