History
USB is a relatively young institution (established in 1991). However, if we look further back into history, it had what to build on. There had been the decades-long tradition of training teachers and higher education specialists for a variety of branches of agricultural production but also for theological and philosophical studies, or the tradition of pond management and fish farming, which go back even further into the past.
Education
There are currently about nine thousand students studying at the University in more than 200 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes and fields of study. Full-time and part-time forms of studies are on offer. The University of South Bohemia also offers joint and double degree programmes in cooperation with partner universities.
Over the past twenty years, a whole series of study fields have built up significant reputations and the work of certain departments has placed us among the foremost centres of science in the country and abroad. Our students have the chance to work with the foremost experts and benefit from cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences and other cooperating institutions. Great emphasis is placed on practical training, involvement in science and research projects and cooperation with the world of entrepreneurship.
Research
Over the years, we have become a respected centre of university science and research not only within Czechia but in certain areas also on European and world level. The international prestige of the University is based, for example, on the activities of research teams in a variety of parts of the world such as the Arctic and Papua New Guinea, where we have our own research stations, but also the South Bohemian Research Centre of Aquaculture and Biodiversity of Hydrocenoses (CENAKVA) offering its research capacities to domestic and international scientists. We involve our students in science and research projects, and we attempt to ensure that the most modern equipment and technical support is available to them.
Career
Our aim is to educate a modern generation of teachers, agricultural specialists, experts in economics and business, natural sciences and their application, health and social services, and human and social sciences. The quality of the education is to be such that the overwhelming majority of graduates of the University can find employment without difficulties. We wish to stay in touch with our former students through the USB Alumni Club that is being developed.

Like a family
Our university is like a family. Our teachers are understanding and care about our success in our studies. They organize a lot of events for us, from association events, to a competition for the best business idea, to a career day. We have a beautiful faculty, a cool canteen and nice spaces to study.
Central South Bohemia campus
The University of South Bohemia has a great management and cares about their students. Their campus is at one place so one is lost on their way to classes, even dorms are at the same place. It is located near the city center, only 10 minutes walk and feels accommodating.
student life
Studying at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen surprised me with its unique atmosphere and community. What few people mention is the availability of quiet areas on campus � for example, the gardens at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art, which are ideal for relaxing between lectures. As a mechanical engineering student, I appreciated not only the modern laboratories, but also the university's connections with local companies, which allowed me to get an interesting internship during my studies. The university also organizes so-called "Open Mic Nights," where students from various fields share their interests � from poetry to playing the guitar. Pilsen itself has a pleasant student atmosphere, and thanks to the relatively small city, you quickly feel at home. The only challenge may be navigating the administrative processes, but the support of students is always helpful. Studying here is not only about learning, but also about discovering new experiences and friendships.
