History
In 1891 T. G. Masaryk introduces a motion at the Imperial Council in Vienna calling for the establishment of a second Czech university in Moravia. Twenty years later, he submits a petition to the Council in support of the founding of a university in Brno.
An act unanimously adopted on 28 January 1919 approves the establishment of the university in Brno along with its four founding faculties.

Student services
You will have the opportunity to join many student clubs. Students form family-like communities around the theatre, international relations, investing, languages, radio, reading, and so on. You may also join the Student Chamber and participate in the university’s decision-making. Also, if you would like to meet more international students, the Erasmus Network club would be the perfect match for you. But of course, there are many, many more to choose from.
The construction of the Bohunice campus cost over five billion CZK and lasted almost six years. State-of-the-art laboratories now serve future doctors and biologists.
