The University of Chemistry and Technology consists of 3 buildings (A, B, C) on the campus of Dejvice in Prague 6. We recommend using the university application EMIL (Android | Apple) for better navigation on the UCT premises.
Studying
Laboratories
Central Laboratories at the University of Chemistry and Technology are located in building A and B and consist of the following laboratories:
- Laboratory of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
- Laboratory of Infra-Red (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy
- Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry (MS)
- Laboratory of X-ray Diffractometry and Spectrometry
- Laboratory of Thermal-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
- Laboratory of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)
- Laboratory of Organic Elemental Analysis
- Laboratory of Surface Analysis
- Laboratory of transmission electron microscopy
Laboratories provide research background for students, professors, and research staff, and are equipped with modern and top-level instrumentation. The laboratory staff is experienced in routine as well as specialized experiments. The services of Central Laboratories are used for grants, industrial applications, or student projects, as well as are offered to external customers (universities, private companies, and others).
Central Laboratories staff teach several courses, seminars, workshops, and other for members of the UCT Prague community. The courses include practical skills as well as spectra interpretation.
Computer Rooms
Computer rooms are located in building B. Use EMIL (Android | Apple) maps to find the rooms.
- Ground floor (opposite Respirium)
- First floor, room B13
- Basement, rooms BS4 and BS5
There are also computer labs for students in their faculty departments.
Copy Center
The Copy Center provides printing and scanning services. The price of printing a black and white page is 0,9 CZK and the price of a color page is 6,5 CZK.
If you need to print a document, you can do so at the self-service printers located in the Copy Center in building B. You can find the Copy Center, if from the main entrance door in building B, you go to the right-side hallway, you pass the Respirium, and continue to the first staircase. You will see a sign Kopírovací centrum at the column of the staircase, and you need to go one floor down. You will find the Copy Center behind the gray door.
The printers are connected to all computers in adjacent classrooms, the study room, and virtual classrooms.
Printing requires the inserting of money on your ISIC or university card (done by the copy center staff). Note that there are separate "wallets" in your ISIC / university cards, which means, that with the money put on the card in the Copy Center, you cannot pay in the canteens and vice-versa.
- Location: Building B, basement S82
- Opening hours: Mon– Thu 8:00–16:00 | Fri 8:00–15:00
Library ChemTK
The UCT Prague Library, ChemTK, is housed in the National Library of Technology (NTK), opposite building A.
You can register at the NTK registration desk on the ground floor of the library with your valid ISIC/university card and your national ID Card or passport.
The UCT Prague Library was one of the first chemistry-oriented institutions in Europe to install the electronic version of Chemical Abstracts on its local network. This resource provides constantly updated information dating back more than 20 years. Beilstein's Handbuch and Gmelins Handbuch, which cover the fields of organic and inorganic chemistry from the very beginnings of scientific chemistry at the end of the eighteenth century up to the present day, are now available via the CrossFire database in practically every UCT Prague workplace.
It houses more than 100 000 volumes of books, handbooks, encyclopedias, periodicals, and other publications. Together with access to electronic sources, the UCT Library represents the largest chemical library in the Czech Republic and one of the largest libraries in Central Europe.
UCT Prague Press
The UCT Prague Press publishes a number of scientific books, textbooks, and other publications in Czech and English. You can use the online catalog of publications and buy the books in a bookshop which is located at the National Library of Technology.
