"After education and research, student activities and organizations are the third pillar of this school."
– Vice-Rector emeritus for Education Zdeněk Bělohlav
"According to my personal experience and the experience of many of your predecessors, it turns out that participation in student activities is the best school of life that you can take into account for your studies. It means that you enter adulthood with a desire to change the world around you, to leave a mark and to not settle for average.”
– Rector Pavel Matějka
"UCT Prague aims to accommodate all constructive activities of students, especially those that develop the abilities of (participating) students themselves, student life or otherwise help build a richer and more dynamic community at VŠCHT Prague."
– Rector emeritus Karel Melzoch
A diploma is not enough
The EDUin survey shows that employers look at much more than just educational attainment during interviews. Participation in student associations and senates is a striking part of career success. Why? In an organization, you and your peers experience what it's like to lead a team, manage an organization, deal with partners, promote, manage finances, etc.
You will meet other capable classmates and start to attract people who are interested in similar goals, you may use the valuable experience more in the future than you expected.
