The Faculty of Architecture does not have its own association of former students Alumni FA. Our graduates can stay in touch with the school and the university through the Alumni CTU and Friends Association.
The Alumni CTU organizes regular events for its members, which informs on its website (where you can register) and in the form of newsletters.
