Law and economy, mathematics, geometry, civil and military architecture, history, and geography were lectured there.

[3] Due to the extinction of the University in Olomouc, no institution would provide an academic education in Moravia, and only one technical school, besides the German one, could not cover the lack of need, so the students mostly left to Prague, Vienna, or Kraków.

Related to this situation the voices that called for the establishment of a university, but not a regional one in Olomouc but in the province capital – Brno, grew stronger.

In September 1899 the disputes were partially solved by founding the Ceská technická vysoká škola Františka Josefa v Brně (roughly translated into English: Imperial Czech Technical School of Franz Joseph in Brno).

In the beginning, the university was settled in Augustine Street and had to make do with 4 professors and 47 students who could study only Civil Engineering.

In 1911 the university was moved into a newly built luxurious building in Veveří Street which is still used by the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

In the interwar period, it was connected with Deutsche Technische Hochschule Brünn and was renamed the Brno University of Technology.

After the end of the war in 1945, the university was restored to its pre-war state, also taking over buildings of Deutsche Technische Hochschule Brünn (the German technical school) which was closed.

In more than 120 years BUT has matured into an internationally recognized institution offering education in a broad spectrum of fields ranging from technical and scientific disciplines through economics to the arts.

Important documents and guidelines are discussed and approved by the Academic Senate which consisted of an employee and a student chamber.

Besides bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs in this field the faculty offers in cooperation with foreign universities postgraduate MBA studies.

In 1899 the university started its activities with this branch and that faculty was the only one which survived a violent change - transformation BUT into the Military Technical Academy in 1951.

[27] CEITEC is a centre for progressive innovative education which encourages scientific creativity in its research groups and a fostering of the principles of engagement.

[28] In 2018, CEITEC BUT launched two ERC grants, one aimed at enhancing cancer treatment efficiency, led by Vojtěch Adam, and another focusing on new spectroscopy and microscopy technologies, spearheaded by Petr Neugebauer.

A third ERC grant commenced in 2021 under Eric D. Glowacki, exploring innovative wireless nerve stimulation in humans.

Additionally, CEITEC BUT inaugurated the Industry 4.0 Testbed in winter 2022, a major component of the international European project RICAIP.

[29] The school is a holder of the European Commission ECTS certificates (European Credit Transfer System) - Label and DS (Diploma Supplement) Label for the period 2009-2013, reflecting the appreciation of quality of the university education in keeping with the principles of the Bologna Declaration.

Students can obtain a range of practical experience during their studies, thereby facilitating the selection of employment and competitiveness of BUT graduates.
