Study Breaks
At UCT Prague, we understand the importance of balance in academic life. University study breaks allow students to relax, recharge, and indulge in enjoyable activities during their demanding educational journey.
Respirium
AT UCT Prague, there are two dedicated study rooms called "Respiria" located in building B. Respirium is a relaxation zone and a popular meeting place for students, especially during breaks. You can study there, enjoy a chat with your friends, have a snack, or hang around and meet new friends.
Respirium I (on the picture below) ⇒ ground floor to the right of the main entrance. This room offers a microwave, kettle, sink, vending machines and a cloakroom for storing clothes and luggage. You can also buy school promotional items. There are regular board games, occasional concerts and orchestra rehearsals.
Respirium I is open:
- during the semester from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (collecting items from the cloakroom until 6:30 p.m.)
- during the exam period, the staff presence time may be reduced (always indicated on the door
- during the holidays, the staff is not present, but the respirium is usually accessible
Note: access to the respirium may be restricted during planned events.
Respirium II (room B2302) ⇒ 1st floor, the entrance from Zikova street is smaller, cosier, and thus provides a place to rest and prepare for lectures in the newest part of building B. One floor above, you can find vending machines.
Club Carbon
Club Carbon is a non-smoking student café in the basement of building B designed to be a modern and friendly place to meet with fellow students and teachers. In addition to small snacks, good beer and coffee, Carbon regularly hosts PubQuiz and other social events. It's a tradition to celebrate passing the exams with your friends there. The club is the best place for strengthening contacts and friendships.
