Why study at FI MUNI?

Our own theatre, film festival and student clubs

The Faculty of Informatics at MU has long had a strong community of students who create their own projects, events and friendly backgrounds alongside their studies. Thanks to societies and informal groups, you can quickly meet classmates across study programmes and years and try things that you simply won't find in the syllabi of compulsory courses - from organising events to creative production to popularising science.
The FI MU Film Festival is a traditional showcase of short films that has been giving space to student creativity across Masaryk University since 2000 - and is also a great "showcase" of creativity at FI. The festival is created under the auspices of the LEMMA laboratory, brings together students and teachers and motivates them to try acting, camera, editing, sound or visual effects in practice, even without previous filmmaking experience.
proFItheatre is a theatre company based at FI that is open to all interested parties and is a counterbalance to the otherwise technically oriented studio. Every spring, it rehearses a new production that premieres as part of the Dies Academicus in May, after which it is performed outside the faculty on stages in Brno. You can get involved in proFItheatre on stage and behind the scenes (production, lights, sound, music, visuals, social media, ...).
The Friends of the Nordic Wildlife (Zvěřinec) brings together enthusiasts not only from FI who are close to computer science, natural sciences and especially to clever, playful activities popularizing science. In addition to events for high school students to get them excited about studying at MU, they are also behind a program for the general public, where one typically encounters logic, ciphers, games, and a community that loves to create and pull together.
The FI Student Union (SUFI) is a society that makes the college a place to not only study, but to live. After its recent rebirth, SUFI organises leisure events especially for faculty students where it's a quick way to meet, switch off from studying and get to know each other across year groups. Some of their regular events include faculty balls, board nights, movie nights and picnics.
In addition to these societies, students have the opportunity to have a real influence on what happens at the faculty. The FI MU Academic Senate Student Chamber represents the faculty's students and makes sure that the student voice is reflected in key decisions. Students are also an integral part of other university self-government bodies: they are members of programme councils of study programmes, they form half of the faculty disciplinary committee, they can form a dormitory council in their halls of residence, they are members of the university-wide committee on canteen catering policy and they represent MU in the national student chamber of the Council of Universities.
