Even someone who is not currently a student of the FA can, for a fee, complete the study of an individual subject. This option relates to the study of individual courses that in terms of content and credit are in line with the courses of accredited FA study plans. Participants in lifelong learning complete courses under the same conditions as students engaged in a regular course of study (they can only be persons who are not simultaneously regular students of the Faculty of Architecture).
Lifelong LEARNING
Distance learning is not available at the Faculty of Architecture. On the other hand, it is possible to continue your education almost indefinitely – although it will cost you something. Besides this, experienced practitioners can deepen their knowledge in special fields. Lifelong learning at the Faculty of Architecture is governed by Act No. 111/98 Coll. as amended, and CTU’s Lifelong Learning Statutes.
Study of individual subjects within the scope of study programs

The list of selected subjects must include a consent from the teacher regarding enrolment in the relevant course. Each participant in lifelong learning concludes a contract, which stipulates the amount for the completion of the selected subjects/courses. For the fee for completing individual courses inquire to the coordinator Kristýna Sedlaříková This fee must be paid before the start of study to account number 19-5505650247/0100, variable symbol 148.

Language Courses
The Department of Languages at the Faculty of Architecture not only gives students knowledge of professional terminology in a foreign language, but also organizes courses for CTU employees and the public. Foreigners, on the other hand, can register for a Czech language course.
