I have studied 4th year Informatics on science faculty University Palackého in Olomouc. During my studies I passed a lot of cursus, which some of them were really good and some simply be so hard, that some students didnt't pass them and finished their studies. I made this part of my web pages for some students who looking for some informations about study this department.
Of course, on web exist much informations about universities (and about our department, too). Some informations are on department pages or on the pages, which compare different universities, but I want to write here about my our experiences with studies here.

At first, the branch on this department has name "mathematical infomatics", not "electrotechnics", what is a big different. The biggest different is, that here is not physics. For somebody big advantage, for somebody disadvantage. Anyway for me it was one of the biggest advantage, why study just here. Informatic's curses are, in my opinion, at the rate of mathematical curses in good ratio. So if You don't like mathematic, You will have quite lot problems with it.
Next marked property of this scool is, that here are teaching quite lot curses from the "theoretic informatics" branch, which exams are one of the hardest and You will study them six semesters. One of the shadowy property of this school is, that here are not so much practical curses, which, in my opinion, can be here much more. Except "Project's seminar" and some other curses, where You develop bigger project (in C#, C++ or similar language) and some other smaller application, is not here much practical curses. These curses are really good and You can learn developing and other important skills, which You can use in future. I don't say, that the other curses You cannot use in future, but these curses are simply more practical.
In the third year You must pass Bachelor's exam, what is also see on teachers' behaviour, who give You more time to study hour and they don't require so much work to school.
When I draw up this school as complex, I must rebuke less practical curses or rather less emphasis on them.

This school give You very good principles of theoretical informatics, mathematics and quite good bases of programming. But if You want to be really brilliant programmer or program analyst, You must spend more time for study hour of programming and some technologies, which aren't in school taught.
