Teaching

The Department of Spatial Planning guarantees to teach in the courses of the Master's degree of the Faculty of Architecture in the Architecture and Urbanism programmes and the dual degree programme Smart Cities. We participate in teaching in the Landscape Architecture and Design degree programmes. We offer selected courses to students of foreign universities in the EuroTeQ program.

We also guarantee teaching in the Spatial Planning Module, which has received the international teaching quality certification Quality Recognition of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP).

Practical teaching is provided in the studio of Veronika Šindlerová, which focuses on urban planning and spatial development planning, and in the studio of Šimon Vojtík, which focuses on the design of quality urban space.

At the PhD level, we work in the study programme Architecture and Urbanism and Smart Cities.

We participate in the education of practitioners: we provide a preparatory course for the examination of special professional competence of public administration employees in the field of spatial planning (ZOZ)
