Registration Guidelines

Events and services of the Counselling and Career Centre of the UCT Prague 

 
 
  • Any interested person ( an applicant, student, graduate or employee) can register for a CCC event/service on the selected date and time via the registration system, or by e-mail or other offered method (depending on the selected event/service)
 
  • After registration, the place at the event/service is reserved for the participant and the CCC is counting on their participation.
 
  • The registration fot an event/service can be independently cancelled in the same way as the registration (i.e. in the registration system, by e-mail or otherwise). Especially for events/services bookable via the login system, please use the system again for possible cancellation, e-mail only in extreme cases (e-mail communication gets stuck easily).
 
  • Unless otherwise stated (in the registration system), you must cancel the registration at least 24 hours before the scheduled time.

  • For late cancellation, or even absence without canceling, we will issue a "warning".

  • After two warnings have been issued, i.e. on the third late or unexcused absence (in all CCC events/services) we issue a "stop notice" on all of the CCC development events/services (lectures, courses and workshops, career counseling, mentoring). For CCC counselling events/services (psychological counselling, services for SSN students) cancellations will be dealt with on an individual basis.
 
  • Warnings and stop notices are valid for one academic year.
 
 

Why?

We offer events and services free of charge. They are administratively, financially and staff-intensive to organize. If you sign up for an event/service and end up not using it (with or without a late apology), you are unnecessarily draining our capacity and taking up space for someone who would like to use it to its full potential. Last but not least, proper scheduling and a proper early excuse, if any, is the basic equipment of an educated person and an indispensable skill for life.

Studying and time spent at university is full of new experiences, but often also challenges and smaller or bigger problems. At the CCC, we can help you with them and offer the services of a variety of experts or experienced colleagues and classmates.

During counselling sessions (psychologicalsocio-legalcareer), you can deal with questions about your studies, your future direction, and difficulties that are preventing you from studying, whether it be psychological problems, legal disputes or your social security. Senior colleagues known as Tutors will also be able to advise you on your studies. Once registered, students with specific needs can benefit from compensation and study support that takes into account their medical condition.

 You can also make use of the thematic e-learning course Survival Kit, which covers issues of motivation, planning, effective learning, as well as relationships and time management on social media. If you prefer discussion to self-study, join one of the support groups where, under the guidance of an experienced lecturer, you and your classmates will discuss your difficulties and questions and work together to find the best solution.

Do you need help with your studies? Tutoring is there for anyone who wants to catch up on their subjects or, on the contrary, offer their knowledge to others.

If you don't know which service to use, contact the CCC and we will work out a suitable course of action together.

We are committed to being your helping hand

UCT Prague places great demands on its students, which it undertakes to balance with support services through its Counselling and Career Centre (CCC). The school profiles its graduates as versatile problem solvers or innovators who, thanks to their expertise, can become exceptional members of work teams. It also emphasizes holistic development in personal issues including stress management and finding psychological well-being.

The CCC aims to act as a service, support and innovation body offering care, development, and support to students. It creates a liaison between students and school administrators by seeking to understand each other's motivations, needs and barriers. It seeks to develop students' potential while minimizing the negative effects of academic demands.

All projects and the running of the Centre are handled by the CCC team.

We follow ethical principles

All staff of the Counselling and Career Centre are bound by confidentiality and are governed by the Code of Ethics for University Counsellors.

Lectures, participation at the job fair, job opportunities

UCT Prague has long been cooperating with various companies and employers from the chemical-technological industry to provide students with insight into the labour market and offer adequate opportunities for further development.

In cooperation with companies, we organise lectures, workshops and other seminars at the school, which introduce students to individual work sectors or research topics, often in a practical way. We advertise job offers, part-time jobs, and internships. Last but not least, every year we organise the Job Fair, where employers have the opportunity to present their company and get in touch with our students.

The Counselling and Career Centre also partners with employers and helps companies to build brand awareness among our students. We also organize workshops and training sessions for employers, which provide insight into the student world and younger generations' way of thinking about the world of work. We also offer qualitative and quantitative surveys, based on which companies can make strategic decisions about their approach to their own brand and students. 

  • Want to expand your brand awareness?
  • Not sure why students aren't interested in your company?
  • Do you have a different problem or idea about how to work with us?

The transition to university


Moving from secondary school to university is a big change that brings you a lot of new opportunities, but also a lot of responsibility. You get freedom in how to organise your time and how much to spend on your studies. On the other hand, you have to keep in mind that school is sometimes challenging and can present you with difficult obstacles.

So be responsible in your approach to your studies but remember that school results are not everything. Take an interest in the people and opportunities around you, network and get involved in other activities. Create a balance that will fulfil you, develop you, and most importantly, entertain you.

Survival Kit for freshmen


Attend lectures from the Survival Kit series that we have prepared especially for first year students. You'll learn how to manage university, how to study and work effectively with time, when to relax, and how to get through your first exams. You'll find out everything you need for the transition to university – including the tricks that will save you while studying.

Ask questions and get advice

The first weeks will be challenging, but you will soon get used to everything. You will have your study group tutor or the Tutors Society at your disposition - senior students who will be happy to help you with questions about your studies, tutoring, or other school-related issues. For questions related to the organisation of your studies and the schedule, you can contact your study officer who is available at the study department during office hours.

Help with studying

If you have a problem with a subject, check out the tutor database and get help in time.
UCT Prague also offers opportunities for students who have difficulty studying due to health reasons (dyslexia, etc.). Simply register as a student with special needs and the CCC will help you study in an adapted way.

All the information in one place

Essential information about the beginning of your studies, how the university works etc. can be found on the main UCT Prague webpage.

We've compiled all the tips, hints and tricks for your first steps at UCT Prague in the Freshmen's Guide. Information you need about dormitories can be found in the Housing handbook.

Studies and life outside school


You are studying and school takes up a significant portion of your time. Spend enough time on it to complete your studies successfully but remember to include other activities as well. Go to lectures and societies, find part-time work or an internship and try anything you might enjoy. Develop yourself, find your direction and meet new people. This will help you broaden your horizons during your Bachelor's studies, and then you can start to focus on specific fields and goals during your Master's studies.

Study guidance and scholarship assistance


If a subject is a problem for you, visit the tutor database at the Tutors page and get help in time. UCT Prague also offers opportunities for students who have difficulty in studying due to health reasons (dyslexia, etc.). All you have to do is register as a student with special needs and the CCC will help tailor your studies to you.

If you are facing a difficult personal situation complicating your studies or you don't know which direction to take at school and in your career, take advantage of counselling services. The CCC can provide you with a psychologistcareer counsellor or socio-legal help.

Get involved in extracurricular activities

You can get involved in a number of student societies that focus on everything from sports, culture, gaming, to event organisation. You can also get involved in the Academic Senate and have a say in the school's affairs.

Sign up for the mentoring programme to find out more about working in the field you're interested in. The school will connect you with a mentor who will show you what their job entails and help you decide on your next career path. They will give you experience and contacts that are guaranteed to come in handy.

The CCC regularly organizes  courses and workshops to help you improve your practical skills. External experts focus on topics such as critical thinking, effective communication and financial literacy. In addition, a number of workshops offer the possibility of awarding a certificate, which may prove useful when you apply for a job.

Work experience and job opportunities


Development within part-time jobs or internships can also help you with your future direction. In cooperation with chemical technology companies, UCT Prague provides internship programmes or part-time work that allows you to get a glimpse into the industry and try out how a working team operates. 

At the latest in Year 3, visit the school Chem-iK Job Fair and find out what opportunities the job market offers. The sooner you start looking at job offers, attending lectures with practitioners, reading interviews and getting to know people in the field, the easier it will be to find the right career path. Observe what's going on around you, evolve and sooner or later you will find whatever fulfils you.

All the information in one place

Essential information concerning your studies, study regulations and administration etc. can be found on the main UCT Prague webpage.

We've compiled everything you might need during your studies in the Bachelor Studies Guide. How to choose a topic for your bachelor's thesis, how to pass the state exams, but also what to do outside of school.

In the Master Studies Guide (only in CZ for now) we look at school commitments, but also what comes afterwards, such as finding your first job.

Information you need about dormitories can be found in the Housing handbook.

In the e-learning course Survival Kit, you will find articles, podcasts, videos and other inspiration on topics such as well-being, lifestyle and relationships.

Graduation is mainly associated with writing a good final thesis and the successful completion of state examinations. But beyond that, you also have to decide where to go next. There are plenty of options, so it's a good idea to explore all of them carefully – do you want to continue your studies or start a job in the industry? Which position is best for you?

How to write a thesis

On the school Intranet, you will find (after logging in) basic information on writing theses - a sample document, tips on writing and citing, how to print and submit the thesis, etc.

The National Library of Technology (NTK) offers you free participation in courses, workshops and personal consultations that can help you a lot with writing your thesis. You will learn how to structure your text, where to find expert sources, and how to cite them. Other useful lectures are also organized by the Tutors Association.

Final graduation

Graduation is the final ceremony that officially concludes your studies. Together with your classmates, after completing state exams and defending your final thesis, you will take the solemn oath and receive your diploma. The ceremony has a specific programme and dress code, which you will learn in due time (see the brochure Graduation and Alumni for basic information).

Find a job you enjoy

If the time has come to find a job after school but you're still not sure which direction to take, take advantage of the free career counselling services. Expert counsellors can help you decide where to develop further and what kind of work would be best for you. They can also advise you on your CV or cover letter. In addition, you can use the tips in the Personal Brand, CV, Cover Letter handbook (in CZ only for now).

On its website, the CCC publishes job offers that are suitable for graduates of UCT Prague.

The Best Preparation for Freshman Year

 
The Survival Kit is a series of lectures specifically designed for first year students. You'll learn how to manage university lifestyle and speed, how to study and work effectively with time, when to take a break, as well as how to handle your first exams. In short, you'll know everything you need to know as you transition to from high school to university - including the tricks that will "save your neck" as you study.
 

Interesting Free Lectures

 
Lectures from the Survival Kit series are given by experienced experts as well as older students and graduates of UCT Prague. They will give you a wide range of ideas, recommendations and experiences that will help you better plan your future study, life and career path.

For now, the lectures are held in Czech only. We are working on providing recordings with English subtitles.

Study and psychological well-being

Learn how to work with stress and emotions or how to relax properly.

 

Relaxation

Relax and study? They go together! Try a relaxation lesson on campus and learn how to work effectively with stress.

To study effectively and integrate your knowledge, it is crucial to regularly release accumulated tension and let your brain and body relax. Relaxation is the ideal opportunity to refresh yourself for your next work.

 

How will it work? In a small group, you will try out different types of relaxation, mindfulness or imagery. You will be sitting or lying on blankets, so comfortable clothes are recommended (not the best way to relax in tight jeans or a short skirt).

 

Come repeatedly! Regular relaxation can help you with improving attention and reducing anxiety. The Tuesday appointment once every 14 days, always at 3pm, is particularly good for this. But of course you can choose any available dates that suit you.

 

Lecturer:  Mgr. Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague

 

Workshop: working with emotions

Learn to understand your own emotions! In a safe environment, you will try creative and unconventional ways to find out who you really are and how you function. You will use techniques with therapeutic cards or other tools or imagery. At the same time, you will activate your right cerebral hemisphere, develop your creativity and in turn give your analytical thinking a rest.

 

The workshop is intended for students of the Prague University of Technology and the Czech Technical University. It also offers a unique opportunity to meet people outside your social bubble.

The workshop is held once a week on Wednesdays throughout the winter semester. It is possible to take advantage of all the sessions or only those that are convenient for you.

 

Lecturers: Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague, Mgr. Barbora Vavřichová, psychologist at CTU

Augmented reality & virtual reality

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) connect the digital and physical worlds. They allow you to experience information and content visually in the same way you experience the world. AR greatly expands the ways our devices can help us in everyday activities such as finding information, shopping and expressing ourselves. VR, in turn, allows us to experience what it's like to go anywhere - from the front row at a concert to distant planets in space.

  

What is the future of VR and AR, who are the industry leaders and is it worth investing in virtual and augmented reality?

  

Lecturer: Thomas De Bruyne

Date: 17 October 2023 from 16:00 to 19:00; during the event there will be an opportunity to try out AR and VR

 

Build your personal brand!

In today's world, we need to be able to sell ourselves well - our skills and talents. That's why today not only entrepreneurs, but also employees and job seekers are building their personal brand. It sends a clear message to the world about who they are, what they can do and where they are going. Then they use it to get a good job, develop their career or go into business.

 

The workshop will give you practical tips on how to find out what you have to offer and how to make a good strategy for promoting yourself. And how to use it all in creating a unique CV, editing your LinkedIn profile, or the way you present yourself at a job interview.

 

In many multinational companies, further work on your personal brand is now a must. It can be very useful when you get promoted to a higher position or get the opportunity to work on an interesting project. Come and think about what makes you unique and how to communicate this to others.

How to get along with a boss a generation older

At work, you are likely to meet people who are significantly older than you and will be your superiors. They will try to guide you, motivate you, evaluate you... and they may not fully understand you, or you them. It is said that the gap between generations is now widening thanks to the development of technology and new technologies, and in practice this is often borne out. This is due to the fact that the world is changing very rapidly and our views and beliefs are largely shaped by the times we grew up in. People 20 (or more) years older than you see the world very differently.

 

Let's talk about how these worlds are generally different, and together we'll figure out what to do to build bridges between them - how to get along better, get along better together. There will also be space for practical practice and "acting out" situations if you wish. 

  

Lecturer. Dr. Ing. Markéta Raková

How to "sell" your SVK

It is said that you become a master when you have accumulated 10,000 hours or served 10 years in a given field. Most of us start speaking around the first year of life, so we should all be masters of speaking before entering high school. So, how is it that we are still afraid to speak in public after 10 years? And why isn't the same thing happening to us when it comes to telling stories in Carbone? Does the presentation of results always have to be bland and austere, or can it be done in other ways?

The basics of storytelling and effective communication, using body language or overcoming fear and stage fright. All this will be discussed in the workshop, which will be followed by a presentation consultation for SVK.

Lecturer. Ing. Václav Bystrianský

Date: 6 November 2023 from 14:00

Freshman, sophomore behind you: figure out where you're going

The moment you've done a bit of research at university, it's a good time to start taking the first steps towards your future career. If you leave all this until after you graduate, you'll probably find that your better-prepared classmates have passed you by. Or you may find out quite late that you're missing something essential to getting your dream job.

 

We'll talk about how to think about your future career, how to choose a field or environment in which you'll thrive, and how to gradually build a good foundation for a successful leap into practice. We'll also talk about part-time jobs during your studies and what you're most likely to say to a future employer on your CV or at interview.

Master your budget and navigate basic contracts and legislation

Financial and/or legal literacy will come in handy every day.  

Financial literacy

How does a financially literate person behave? How to avoid becoming a debtor today? And what does a typical borrower look like? Do you know the basic financial products? Can you make a budget?

If you want to know the answer to these and other questions, come! The workshops are loosely connected, participation in the second meeting is not conditional on participation in the first.

Part I - What will you learn?

  • We will explain how to be financially literate.
  • We will review basic financial products and how to choose them according to your life situation.
  • We'll look at why and how to set personal and family budgets.

Part II - What will you learn?

  • You'll find out what you need to pay, what to watch out for and how to prevent debt.
  • We'll go over the characteristics of a "typical" debtor.
  • We will look at the different paths between debt and foreclosure.

Lecturers:  Veronika Jírová & Ing. Lukáš Bažanovský

Date: 24 October 2023 - Part I, 31 October 2023 - Part II, always from 16:00

Legal literacy

The legal literacy lecture series will provide participants with a basic overview of the legal system and insight into various legal matters (contracting, civil litigation, criminal proceedings). You will learn the general basics of law, the principles of legal proceedings and how to navigate the law. We will take a detailed look at contract and promissory note law, which are useful to understand better, including a detailed analysis of specific contracts and promissory notes.

The entire series is designed to be interactive, discussing specific real-world situations, what to watch out for, and there will be plenty of room for your questions (prepare questions on anything that interests you). The series will prepare you for common life situations - you will learn to understand the basic types of contracts and how to check or adjust them.

There are three lectures that build on each other and you must take all three.

Job opportunities in clinical research in pharmaceuticals and medical devices

Clinical research is one of the areas where students of the University of Applied Sciences and Technology can find a good job. At the same time, they usually learn only theoretical information about it, e.g. about the phases of CH, ethical aspects and legislative regulation. The aim of the lecture is to convey information that will allow us to imagine the practical implementation of projects of international scope and the roles of the individual participants. It describes the progress of projects from the search for collaborating centres and the selection of suitable countries, through the conclusion of contracts, approval by regulatory authorities, the actual implementation and the conclusion of the project. The usual composition of teams/division of work among specialists on the side of the contracting or service organization, regulatory authorities. The division between activities carried out centrally and at the level of the individual countries involved: potential career paths, necessary qualities, knowledge, and experience.

The Best Preparation for Freshman Year

 
The Survival Kit is a series of lectures specifically designed for first year students. You'll learn how to manage university lifestyle and speed, how to study and work effectively with time, when to take a break, as well as how to handle your first exams. In short, you'll know everything you need to know as you transition to from high school to university - including the tricks that will "save your neck" as you study.
 

Interesting Free Lectures

 
Lectures from the Survival Kit series are given by experienced experts as well as older students and graduates of UCT Prague. They will give you a wide range of ideas, recommendations and experiences that will help you better plan your future study, life and career path.

For now, the lectures are held in Czech only. We are working on providing recordings with English subtitles.

Study and psychological well-being

Learn how to work with stress and emotions or how to relax properly.

 

Relaxation

Relax and study? They go together! Try a relaxation lesson on campus and learn how to work effectively with stress.

To study effectively and integrate your knowledge, it is crucial to regularly release accumulated tension and let your brain and body relax. Relaxation is the ideal opportunity to refresh yourself for your next work.

 

How will it work? In a small group, you will try out different types of relaxation, mindfulness or imagery. You will be sitting or lying on blankets, so comfortable clothes are recommended (not the best way to relax in tight jeans or a short skirt).

 

Come repeatedly! Regular relaxation can help you with improving attention and reducing anxiety. The Tuesday appointment once every 14 days, always at 3pm, is particularly good for this. But of course you can choose any available dates that suit you.

 

Lecturer:  Mgr. Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague

 

Workshop: working with emotions

Learn to understand your own emotions! In a safe environment, you will try creative and unconventional ways to find out who you really are and how you function. You will use techniques with therapeutic cards or other tools or imagery. At the same time, you will activate your right cerebral hemisphere, develop your creativity and in turn give your analytical thinking a rest.

 

The workshop is intended for students of the Prague University of Technology and the Czech Technical University. It also offers a unique opportunity to meet people outside your social bubble.

The workshop is held once a week on Wednesdays throughout the winter semester. It is possible to take advantage of all the sessions or only those that are convenient for you.

 

Lecturers: Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague, Mgr. Barbora Vavřichová, psychologist at CTU

Augmented reality & virtual reality

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) connect the digital and physical worlds. They allow you to experience information and content visually in the same way you experience the world. AR greatly expands the ways our devices can help us in everyday activities such as finding information, shopping and expressing ourselves. VR, in turn, allows us to experience what it's like to go anywhere - from the front row at a concert to distant planets in space.

  

What is the future of VR and AR, who are the industry leaders and is it worth investing in virtual and augmented reality?

  

Lecturer: Thomas De Bruyne

Date: 17 October 2023 from 16:00 to 19:00; during the event there will be an opportunity to try out AR and VR

 

Build your personal brand!

In today's world, we need to be able to sell ourselves well - our skills and talents. That's why today not only entrepreneurs, but also employees and job seekers are building their personal brand. It sends a clear message to the world about who they are, what they can do and where they are going. Then they use it to get a good job, develop their career or go into business.

 

The workshop will give you practical tips on how to find out what you have to offer and how to make a good strategy for promoting yourself. And how to use it all in creating a unique CV, editing your LinkedIn profile, or the way you present yourself at a job interview.

 

In many multinational companies, further work on your personal brand is now a must. It can be very useful when you get promoted to a higher position or get the opportunity to work on an interesting project. Come and think about what makes you unique and how to communicate this to others.

How to get along with a boss a generation older

At work, you are likely to meet people who are significantly older than you and will be your superiors. They will try to guide you, motivate you, evaluate you... and they may not fully understand you, or you them. It is said that the gap between generations is now widening thanks to the development of technology and new technologies, and in practice this is often borne out. This is due to the fact that the world is changing very rapidly and our views and beliefs are largely shaped by the times we grew up in. People 20 (or more) years older than you see the world very differently.

 

Let's talk about how these worlds are generally different, and together we'll figure out what to do to build bridges between them - how to get along better, get along better together. There will also be space for practical practice and "acting out" situations if you wish.

How to "sell" your SVK

It is said that you become a master when you have accumulated 10,000 hours or served 10 years in a given field. Most of us start speaking around the first year of life, so we should all be masters of speaking before entering high school. So, how is it that we are still afraid to speak in public after 10 years? And why isn't the same thing happening to us when it comes to telling stories in Carbone? Does the presentation of results always have to be bland and austere, or can it be done in other ways?

The basics of storytelling and effective communication, using body language or overcoming fear and stage fright. All this will be discussed in the workshop, which will be followed by a presentation consultation for SVK.

Lecturer. Ing. Václav Bystrianský

Date: 6 November 2023 from 14:00

Freshman, sophomore behind you: figure out where you're going

The moment you've done a bit of research at university, it's a good time to start taking the first steps towards your future career. If you leave all this until after you graduate, you'll probably find that your better-prepared classmates have passed you by. Or you may find out quite late that you're missing something essential to getting your dream job.

 

We'll talk about how to think about your future career, how to choose a field or environment in which you'll thrive, and how to gradually build a good foundation for a successful leap into practice. We'll also talk about part-time jobs during your studies and what you're most likely to say to a future employer on your CV or at interview.

Master your budget and navigate basic contracts and legislation

Financial and/or legal literacy will come in handy every day.  

Financial literacy

How does a financially literate person behave? How to avoid becoming a debtor today? And what does a typical borrower look like? Do you know the basic financial products? Can you make a budget?

If you want to know the answer to these and other questions, come! The workshops are loosely connected, participation in the second meeting is not conditional on participation in the first.

Part I - What will you learn?

  • We will explain how to be financially literate.
  • We will review basic financial products and how to choose them according to your life situation.
  • We'll look at why and how to set personal and family budgets.

Part II - What will you learn?

  • You'll find out what you need to pay, what to watch out for and how to prevent debt.
  • We'll go over the characteristics of a "typical" debtor.
  • We will look at the different paths between debt and foreclosure.

Lecturers:  Veronika Jírová & Ing. Lukáš Bažanovský

Date: 24 October 2023 - Part I, 31 October 2023 - Part II, always from 16:00

Legal literacy

The legal literacy lecture series will provide participants with a basic overview of the legal system and insight into various legal matters (contracting, civil litigation, criminal proceedings). You will learn the general basics of law, the principles of legal proceedings and how to navigate the law. We will take a detailed look at contract and promissory note law, which are useful to understand better, including a detailed analysis of specific contracts and promissory notes.

The entire series is designed to be interactive, discussing specific real-world situations, what to watch out for, and there will be plenty of room for your questions (prepare questions on anything that interests you). The series will prepare you for common life situations - you will learn to understand the basic types of contracts and how to check or adjust them.

There are three lectures that build on each other and you must take all three.

Job opportunities in clinical research in pharmaceuticals and medical devices

Clinical research is one of the areas where students of the University of Applied Sciences and Technology can find a good job. At the same time, they usually learn only theoretical information about it, e.g. about the phases of CH, ethical aspects and legislative regulation. The aim of the lecture is to convey information that will allow us to imagine the practical implementation of projects of international scope and the roles of the individual participants. It describes the progress of projects from the search for collaborating centres and the selection of suitable countries, through the conclusion of contracts, approval by regulatory authorities, the actual implementation and the conclusion of the project. The usual composition of teams/division of work among specialists on the side of the contracting or service organization, regulatory authorities. The division between activities carried out centrally and at the level of the individual countries involved: potential career paths, necessary qualities, knowledge, and experience.
