Campus Dejvická is located in the Dejvice district, which is known for its vibrant student community and excellent transportation connections. It is home to several educational institutions (Czech Technical University, Charles University – Catholic Theologic Faculty), including our university, which is one of the country's leading institutions in the field of chemical and technological sciences.
The University of Chemistry and Technology consists of 3 buildings (A, B, C) on the Dejvická campus in Prague 6. We recommend using the university application EMIL (Android | Apple) for better navigation for UCT Prague buildings.

Where to eat/drink?
The simplest and swiftest choice for good and healthy meals among students is the canteens, also known as "menza." There is one canteen within the Volha dormitory and another two canteens on the university campus, a mere 5-minute stroll away from UCT Prague.
- Volha Canteen: K Verneráku 45, Prague
To get the student discount on lunch, you must pay with your student card (you will get it at the university on Enrollment day), which you can charge with your money. There are two options for how you can set your card:
- Either in cash (!) directly in the canteen, where you inform the cash desk personnel that you would like to deposit the money on your ISIC/university card. They will put the money there, and then you can pay for the meal. In the Red and Blue canteens, you take the food from the food desk first and then go to the cash desk. In the Volha canteen, money is deposited on the cash desk on the left side of the food desk, and to choose the meal, you need to press the number of the meal on the display of the meals and pay with the student card first. Then you can take the meal from the food desk.
- You can use the “Strávník app” for the Red and Blue Canteen to check your account balance.
Otherwise, you can pay for your meal in cash or by credit card, but without a discount. The discounted price for students is approximately 80–130 CZK (3 – 5 EUR).
| Red Canteen (Menza Studentský dům) | Mon–Thu | 9:00–19:00 |
| Fri | 9:00–15:00 | |
| Blue Canteen (Technická menza) | Mon–Fri | 10:45–14:20 |
| Volha Canteen | Mon–Thu | 11:00–19:00 |
| Fri | 11:00—14:30 |
- You may meet a canteen personnel who does not speak English well, in such a case prepare the card and the amount of money you need to deposit and smile.
- Most Czech traditional meals are meat-based, with thick, often creamy sauces served with carb-dense sides such as dumplings or potatoes. However, there is usually some familiar food like spaghetti, fried cheese, or chicken meat. You can find some vegan options in the Blue canteen.
- Eating Czech dumplings with a hand is a big no-no. :-)
