At the Faculty of Architecture, a large part of the study is traditionally conducted in the form of teaching on specific projects developed in design studios. The possibility of choosing a design studio project leader for each semester ensures direct feedback between students and teachers. Teaching takes place in so-called "vertical" studios in which students from the second to the fifth year work side by side on different types of projects. The projects are led by leading architects, urban planners and designers from Czechia and abroad. For example, in 2023, one of the design studios was hosted by Dutch architect Winy Maas from the MVRDV architecture practice.[1]

In the academic year 2023/24 there were 1083 students studying in the Bachelor cycle. In the follow-up Master's cycle 701 students. There were 136 students in the doctoral programme. That means 1920 students in total.

23 professors, 48 associate professors and 126 assistant professors teach at the faculty. That is 197 teachers in total.
