ctu-thesis

A clean Typst thesis template for CTU in Prague.

ctu-thesis is an unofficial Typst template for qualification theses at the Czech Technical University in Prague. It currently focuses on the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (fel-thesis).

Important

This template is still WIP. Always verify the final PDF against your faculty's current thesis requirements before submitting.

Features

• Nice cover page with logo, study branch, thesis type, author, supervisor/details grid, and submission date.
• Czech and English abstract pages with localized keywords.
• Styled table of contents via fel-toc.
• Sensible thesis layout: 11pt serif text, justified paragraphs, numbered headings, first-line indentation, and clean figures/code-blocks.
• Optional print binding gutter with wider inside margin.
• Template project with CTU logo and ISO690-numeric citation style.

Quick start

Important

This package isn't published to the Typst Universe yet, so it can't be imported like this as of this time!

Initialize a fresh project with:

typst init @preview/ctu-thesis:0.0.1 my-thesis
cd my-thesis
typst watch main.typ

Typst will copy the starter project (from the template folder) and keep recompiling the PDF whenever you make changes.

Usage

A minimal thesis starts with a single show rule:

#import "@preview/ctu-thesis:0.0.1": fel-thesis

#show: fel-thesis.with(
  title: "Velmi zajímavá studie",
  subtitle: "Bakalářská práce",
  author: "Jan Novák",
  details: (
    "Vedoucí": "Prof. Jiří Dvořák",
    "Školitel-specialista": "František Vomáčka, Ph.D.",
    "Studijní program": "Enterprise architektury",
  ),
  date: "Květen 2026",
  abstract-cz: [
    This is the Czech abstract of the thesis.
  ],
  abstract-en: [
    This is the English abstract of the thesis.
  ],
  keywords-cz: ("pes", "a", "kočička"),
  keywords-en: ("dog", "and", "cat"),
  branch: "Obor Softwarové inženýrství a technologie",
  logo: image("assets/cvut-logo.svg"),
)

= První kapitola
// TODO: start writing here

The bundled starter also includes a bibliography call:

#bibliography(
  "references.yaml",
  style: "assets/iso690-numeric-brackets-cs.csl",
)
