Today is the 675th anniversary since the founding of Charles University in Prague back in 1348.
Univerzita Karlova was founded by Emperor Charles IV, and it is the oldest, and largest, university in Czechland. It was modelled after the universities in Bologna and Paris. It was the 31st university in Europe and the first in Central Europe.
There were four faculties when the university opened: theology, law, medicine, and arts. Today there are more than 51.000 students studying in 17 different faculties.
While universities in Brno are well regarded, Charles University is the only Czech university to rank among the top 250 universities worldwide, amongst the top 1,5% of 17.000 universities worldwide.
Here's a short English-language video about Charles University that I found on YouTube.
