Have a nice summer

Dear students,

This summer, the Faculty of Arts is closer to you than ever. At the beginning of July, the faculty area was transformed into an outdoor cinema, with the Scala University Cinema screening the latest domestic and international films every evening. If you plan to spend most of the summer travelling outside Brno, you can listen to the new faculty podcast Artefakt, in which exciting personalities talk about topics they have been working on for a long time. All episodes can now be found in all podcast apps.

Have a great summer!
