Besides, Purkyně ranks among the world´s most outstanding physiologists. Just as well-rounded a personality Purkyně in his time was, we too, in these days, offer a wide variety of study programmes and specialisations (55 programmes and 173 specialisations) focusing on the most varied areas of human activities. Not only because of that are we – with our assorted offer – attractive for the current young people."
