The University comprises one University Institute and five faculties: AgriSciences, Business and Economics, Forestry and Wood Technology, Regional Development and International Studies and Horticulture.

At the same time, these are the areas into which the available scientific research capacity of the university departments is directed.

University botanical garden

Mendel University is a hidden treasure for nature enthusiasts. Beyond its strong academic reputation, students enjoy unique perks like access to the university�s botanical garden�a peaceful retreat that doubles as a living classroom. One standout feature is the beekeeping workshop, where you can learn sustainable practices while tasting the honey you helped produce. The annual �Green Fest� celebrates eco-innovation and includes a quirky recycled fashion show that students love. Mendelova isn�t just about earning a degree; it�s about living in harmony with nature while building a sustainable future.

Applied sciences courses

Mendel University in Brno is a standout institution for students interested in agriculture, forestry, and environmental sciences. As a student in the Faculty of AgriSciences, I was impressed by the hands-on approach to learning. The university has well-maintained research farms, greenhouses, and modern labs that allow students to connect theory with practice. Professors are approachable and highly knowledgeable, often incorporating real-world challenges into coursework. The campus itself is cozy and green, perfect for fostering both academic focus and relaxation. International students will appreciate the university�s efforts in creating a welcoming atmosphere, including an active international office and programs in English. While Brno is a smaller city, its student-centric vibe and affordable cost of living make it ideal for studies. One area for improvement could be the expansion of student housing, as demand often outpaces supply.
