This university is the oldest in all of Central Europe; it opened its doors more than seven centuries ago, in 1348, on the decree of Pope Clement VI. The four departments of learning back then were liberal arts, medicine, law, and theology (there are now 17 faculties offered). Charles I sanctioned it in 1349, and distinguished alumni include Bernard Bolzano the famous mathematician-philosopher, Gerti Cori the Nobel-winning biochemist, and Franz Kafka, the celebrated absurdist author.
