On the final day of March, students from the technical and economic foundation programmes in Poděbrady embarked on a trip to Mladá Boleslav as part of a series of educational excursions organized by UJOP for its students. Their destination was Škoda Auto, the iconic Czech automaker celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. The students had the opportunity to explore both the company’s rich history and its production processes.
The visit began with a guided tour through the Škoda Auto production facility. Students were taken through the impressive automatic press machines that shape car body parts and various components, before arriving at the assembly line. There, they observed firsthand the process of car assembly. The guide also shared fascinating details about Škoda Auto, including the fact that the factory is like a small city, equipped with its own clinic, library, high school, and university.
The second part of the excursion led students to the Škoda Auto Museum, where they explored the evolution of the brand and discovered iconic car models produced throughout the company's long history. Of particular interest to many students was the racing car simulator and the display of futuristic Škoda car designs.
After a break at a local shopping centre for lunch, the group made their way back to Poděbrady.
This event is designed for international students taking preparatory courses who are preparing to apply to Czech universities in economics and technical fields. You can get a European degree in Czech, where education is free, or in English, at affordable prices.
