The university also has many catering facilities available both to students and employees. Apart from the usual canteens with modern equipment, there are snack bars, cafés, a pizzeria and a club. In the canteens, people can choose from up to 12 meals every day.

BUT has also very good facilities for sports activities and is thus able to offer students about 50 different sports at 5 performance levels. Sporting sites with modern equipment are used not only by students. Sport matches are also held here and the facilities are rented by sports clubs. The Pod Palackého vrchem campus is unique especially thanks to its facilities for disabled athletes. In addition, athletic surfaces, which have obtained first class IAAF certificate (the only one in the Czech Republic), now match the Olympic quality.

BUT has the highest capacity of accommodation beds of all Brno universities. It can accommodate students in 5 halls of residence, most of them at the Pod Palackého vrchem campus. Almost all services are located in its vicinity — canteens, sports campus and a university club. Two BUT accommodation facilities were among the TOP 3 in the competition for the best halls of residence, which testifies to their good quality.

BUT provides good-class accommodation, mostly in double rooms. Half of the bedrooms are equipped with their own bathroom and toilet, another half has a common bathroom unit for a certain number of rooms. Most of the rooms are two-bed and three-bed rooms, a small number are single rooms.

Students have a study room, TV room, bicycle room, music room with a piano, and a darkroom at their disposal.All halls are equipped with laundries and dryers as well as public phones.

The premises offer various sports facilities like multipurpose fields, quality body building gyms, gymnasiums, pool tables, table tennis equipment and other sports facilities of the Center for Sports Activities.

According to the last survey of graduates, almost 50% of students find a job even before graduation. The fact that 9 out of 10 students would choose BUT again (if they were given a chance) is proof of their satisfaction. Besides receiving feedback from the graduates, BUT also cooperates with managers of the companies where the graduates work. Representatives of these companies can also be actively involved in establishing the degree programme structure providing consultancy and even teaching courses. In this way, they help educate another generation of their potential successful employees. Some faculties organize career fairs and company days where students meet their potential employers to get new ideas about their prospective jobs.
