Overview

Institution type: Public
Founded: 1919
Good At: MENDELU offers many highly specialized fields of study, some of which are unique in the Czech Republic – for example, viticulture or furniture design and production. In addition to the campus and dormitories, the school also includes places where students can do internships, expand their knowledge, and conduct research – these include extensive university forests, fields, gardens, an arboretum, and vineyards.

Campus
The university campus is located close to the centre of Brno in the Černá Pole neighbourhood. The campus is home to all MENDELU’s faculties – except for the Faculty of Horticulture in Lednice – a library, canteens, and an extensive garden. A dormitory is also nearby. MENDELU students thus have all facilities in one place

Botanical garden and arboretum
The campus includes a large botanical garden and an arboretum, which are great places to relax, run, and study. The garden houses an extensive collection of orchids. It is also used for practical exercises for students.

University forests
MENDELU’s forests are unique in Europe. No other university on the continent has such extensive, continuous, and species-diverse forests in close proximity to the school. In the forests, a third of which are located in a protected landscape area, students can try out managing forest resources in an era of climate change.

University farm
The university farm in Žabčice is a place for hands-on learning. In addition to experimental fields, we also keep livestock at the farm, with about 1,200 head of cattle. Vineyards can also be found here, a third of which produce grapes and the rest of which serve as a unique gene bank of grape varieties.
Total number of students: 9200
Number of international students: 20% students from abroad.
For international students: The university offers over 250 courses in English in different fields of study. Every international student is provided with accommodation in MENDELU halls of residence. New incoming exchange students participate in the Welcome Week at the beginning of the semester. Programme packed with social events, entertainment and supporting activities is organized by the International Student Club throughout the academic year. Most international students come from Southern Europe, Finland, Turkey, Mexico, Ukraine and Sub-Saharan Africa. Jorge Angel Santana Malles from the Canary Islands, who spent a year at MENDELU as an exchange student, says, ‘Brno is such a charming and vibrant student city. And MENDELU? What a great place to study and just feel relaxed. I love it!’
International cooperation: Erasmus+ partnership with over 200 universities in Europe and more than 100 bilateral agreements with institutions from all over the globe. We offer a wide range of mobility options, possibilities to join international project and research teams and to participate in international conferences and seminars.
