Specialized classrooms and facilities
The department uses its own specialized classrooms adapted to teaching the journalism profession.

A backup network storage is available for storing projects and materials.
Classrooms (except AVC) are accessible to students using the ISIC card access system – the room PC54 for all students of the department; Editing room, Radio, TV studio and Studio 5.27 for students who attend courses taught in the classrooms or are involved in student media.
Editing room
The editing room is intended for more complex audiovisual projects, such as bachelor's and master's theses, and for specialized courses related to the processing of audiovisual content are taught here. The editing room also houses the control panel and technical facilities for the TV studio.
Students have access to 8 workstations with 4K monitors and an external sound card.
The classroom also has a 65" 4K LCD television, high-quality sound equipment and a Blu-ray player. All PCs can be mirrored to the television and use the sound equipment.
Studio 5.27
The multifunctional Studio 5.27 classroom is used to simulate an editorial environment, teach smaller seminars and basic skills such as speaking on camera, etc. For this, the classroom is fully equipped with a television control panel with up to 4 cameras.
The central desk of the classroom has 10 built.in computers for students and 1 for a lecturer. In addition to standard software, Atlas.ti software is available for teaching analysis of qualitative data.
The classroom is also ideal for recording focus groups - omnidirectional microphones are built into the central desk.
Radio station
The radio station is used both for the actual broadcasting of the Internet Radio R, and for courses on sound and radio production.
The radio station includes a broadcasting studio, from where the actual broadcasting takes place, and a recording studio, where courses as well as sound editing take place.
At the station, there are 6 computers for editing audiovisual materials, graphics or regular media analysis - simply everything that any radio station needs.
The radio broadcast uses professional DAD software, so our students get the full experience.
TV studio
The studio is used to teach advanced television skills courses. The studio has two robotic cameras controlled from the director and one static camera with a reading device. The studio also has a 60" screen for visual control by the presenter.
We use NewTek Tricaster for broadcast control. The system allows for high-quality recording, live streaming to social media and also provides green screen keying.
The room is acoustically modified and soundproofed. Sound is primarily handled using wireless microphones. An intercom is available for communication between the director and the studio – via speakers or the presenter's headset. We are also able to provide sound and control for a regular music band.
Computer classroom PC54
The classroom is primarily used to teach basic journalistic skills, create media content for student training media, and for statistics and media analysis.
The classroom has 20 computers for students and 1 for the lecturer connected to two 75" 4K screens. The unconventional layout of the room is intended to support contact between the teacher and students.
AVC classroom
The Audio-Visual Center Classroom is mainly used for lectures for larger groups, but as the name suggests, the classroom is equipped with a large screen, a high-quality wide-angle projector and a powerful 5.1 sound system. It can be completely darkened, making it ideal for film screenings, for example. It is possible to play DVDs or Blu-Ray (including 4K) discs.
