Come and Enjoy Studying at UJEP
UJEP is not just about studying. If you like sports, you can use the premises of the Faculty of Education of UJEP, where we have a gym, go swimming in the swimming hall in Klíše, become a member of the University Sports Club Slávie or fight your way into the university ice-hockey club, HC North Wings! The Victoria University Sports Centre at UJEP will help you combine your career as an active athlete with your studies. The choice is yours. Maybe you will start your own sports club with us.
And if you like the outdoors, the city offers the Elbe Cycle Path, which can be enjoyed by cyclists, skaters and pedestrians. There are countless trails in the Central Bohemian Highlands on all sides.
For art lovers, there is the DUUL or the House of Art Ústí nad Labem or the Emil Filla Gallery. Musical talents are welcome in the Chorea Academica, the Girls' Chamber Choir PF, the mixed choir NONA and other groups. If you prefer dancing to music, you can enter the professionally judged competition, Movement Pieces Showcase.
Films are screened at UJEP in the UJEP Research Library, in the UJEP Amphitheatre or in the Cajk Club run by the UJEP Student Union.
Student affairs also include going abroad with Erasmus+ or helping international students and organizing events for them. If you speak a bit of a foreign language, don't hesitate to contact people at Erasmus Student Network.
To get to know the new university environment, you will certainly find the UJEP Guide useful. In this guide, you will find information not only about your faculty and the services offered by the university, but also about where to eat or play sports in Ústí.
Snadná doprava do Ústí nad Labem
Mládí otevírá spoustu cest. Doražte na místo, kde se vybudovaly tisíce přátelství na celý život. Můžete k tomu využít jak automobilovou, autobusovou, tak i vlakovou dopravu.
Společně se však dostanete nejen do školních lavic. Stačí jet 15 minut z centra a poznáte krásy místní přírody - České středohoří a Krušné hory jsou co by kamenem dohodil.

We Have Modern Study Programmes and Courses
At the University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně, we know that in order for the educational process to be of high quality, we need not only experienced teachers and motivated students, but also modern facilities and equipment.
The latest acquisitions among buildings: Centre for Natural Sciences and Technologies (CPTO), Centre of Materials, Mechanics and Technologies (CEMMTECH), Centre for Biological and Environmental Studies (CBEO) and the UJEP Counselling Centre.

New Buildings and Labs
Centre for Natural Sciences and Technologies (CPTO)
Environment for Modern Teaching
The CPTO building is the largest building on the university campus and the new architectural landmark of the city. Its construction, costing more than 700 million Czech crowns, was completed in June 2020. It is home to the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Environment of UJEP. The facilities of this generously conceived building, dedicated to science, research, education and the meeting of inquisitive people, are one of the key steps on the way to raising the traditionally industrial region of Ústí to a new level.
Centre of Materials, Mechanics and Technologies (CEMMTECH)
The new building of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of UJEP is growing before our eyes and its grand opening is planned for January 2022. There are new classrooms, specialised laboratories, consulting rooms and, last but not least, relaxation areas and a terrace with a magnificent view of the city inside the building. The entire project is implemented from the RE:START project aimed at the economic restructuring of the Ústí, Moravian-Silesian and Karlovy Vary regions.

Centre of Bilogical and Environmental Studies (CBEO)
CBEO was established on the campus area, in Za Válcovnou Street, which is the main seat of the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Science of UJEP. The new building has a lecture hall, a large indoor and outdoor teaching laboratory and several smaller laboratories for graduate students with modern laboratory equipment, offices, social facilities and a rest area for students. The adjacent greenhouse was renovated and a new phytotron was set up not only for the cultivation of plants but also of various microorganisms.

We Have Innovated
All classrooms, lecture theatres and other study areas are regularly upgraded to ensure that our students and teachers feel as comfortable as possible.









Get Involved in Research
Students here have the opportunity to engage in various professional projects in collaboration with researchers. They can participate in scientific competitions with their professional work.
We address many interesting research topics in the fields of economics, humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, health sciences and the arts.

We have a swimming hall behind the dorms in Klíše and our great rowing team overcomes the inhospitability of the Elbe. We let our muscles grow at the Faculty of Education of UJEP in the newly renovated gym.
