The Bakala Foundation will newly support students of the interdisciplinary Bachelor's Science Program which has been running for the third year at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University.
As part of this collaboration, scholarships will be awarded to four students, each receiving financial support covering their annual tuition fees. This unique Science program, taught in English, is designed for exceptionally talented students from around the world and is the only program of its kind in the Czech Republic.
The Science program draws inspiration from the Western educational model, similar to the Natural Sciences program at the University of Cambridge. It integrates three core scientific disciplines—biology, chemistry, and physics—closely interconnected with mathematics and computer science. This unique multidisciplinary approach allows students to develop deep knowledge and excel in addressing the scientific challenges of the future.
"The world is changing, and we strive to prepare successful scientists who will respond to today's new challenges. The goal of our program is to create a small Czech Cambridge in Prague," stated one of the program's founders, renowned immunologist and science popularizer Professor Jan Černý.
