Dear Students, Welcome to the May edition of our newsletter! We wish you strength and success as you prepare for your exams and final projects. We also hope you’ll find a moment to check out our latest updates. There’s a lot happening this May.

You can also improve your presentation skills in English through our dedicated sessions. We’re looking forward to the Rector’s Sports Day and the May picnic — great opportunities to meet new people and enjoy the sunny days. There’s truly a wide range of events, so if you have any questions, feel free to visit the International Student Hub Office at Celetná Street.
