Absolvent
I got to the school quite by accident, after leaving my job in Brno, when I decided to extend my student years. I enjoyed the field of applied computer science very much, not to mention the good student years. But the Polytechnic College basically changed my life. Thanks to this school, besides my education, I have a job I enjoy, in which I want to develop myself, right on the grounds of this university with great people.
