During the time of preparation, we asked each higher education institution in Slovakia to give us not only a list of study programmes offered in English, or any other language, but also a short description of the programme and information about tuition fees for third country nationals, if applicable. Therefore, if there is some insufficient information about any programme, or if you need any further information, we recommend you to contact the respective institution directly (for each programme there should be a person responsible, but also you can find at each institution profile a web page, where contacts can be found). Since the objective of this publication is to help foreigners to find a suitable study programme in Slovakia, we have summarised for you also an overview of higher education system in Slovakia together with the general information about application procedures and validation of the documents from abroad needed for the study application. Should you need any other type of information, e.g. information about visa, residence permit, working while studying, general information about the life in Slovakia, we recommend you to have a look at our website www.saia.sk/en, where you can find the „International Student’s Guide to Slovakia” and also other links to useful websites. 4 Study in Slovakia Higher education system in Slovakia Higher education institutions Higher education institutions (HEIs) are third‑level education, scientific and art institutions. The major task of HEIs is to provide higher education and creative scientific research or creative artistic activity. Higher education institutions are classified by the nature and scope of their activities into university type of HEIs and non‑university type of HEIs. a) The university type of higher education institutions provides education in the study programmes of all three levels of higher education (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral) with a significant portion of study programmes of the second level and study programmes of the third level. The study programmes are carried out in connection with activities of higher education institutions in the field of science, technology or art, and in compliance with the current state and development of such fields. The term “university” may only be used in the name of a university type of higher education institution. b) The non‑university type of higher education institutions provides higher education mostly in the study programmes of the first level. Based on founding and funding there are 3 types of HEIs: . public higher education institutions – public institutions of higher education are established by law. They are financed mostly by the government. They are statutory and self‑governing institutions. At present, there are 20 public institutions of higher education, comprising 9 more or less traditional universities, 5 universities of technology, 3 higher education institutions of art and music, 1 university of economics, 1 university of veterinary medicine and 1 agricultural university. state higher education institutions – state institutions of higher education (3 HEIs) are military, police and medical schools. They are established by law and governed by the state through the corresponding ministries of the government. The state HEIs are fully financed from the state budget. private higher education institutions – private institutions of higher education (11 HEIs) need a state approval issued by the Government of the Slovak Republic. They are established and financed by non‑governmental institutions or founders. Most of the private higher education institutions provide education in the fields of economics, business, management, public administration, law, international relations, regional development, medical and social work. Also foreign higher education institutions established and situated on the territory of another EU Member state or EEA State or Switzerland may provide higher education in accordance with the law of their country of origin on the territory of Slovakia once they have been granted official approval by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic. 5 List of all higher education institutions in Slovakia: Public higher education institutions Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica Akadémia umení v Banskej Bystrici www.aku.sk Academy of Fine Arts and Design Vysoká škola výtvarných umení www.vsvu.sk in Bratislava v Bratislave Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava Vysoká škola múzických umení v Bratislave www.vsmu.sk Trenčianska univerzita Alexandra Alexander Dubček University of Trenčín www.tnuni.sk Dubčeka v Trenčíne Catholic University in Ružomberok Katolícka univerzita v Ružomberku www.ku.sk Comenius University in Bratislava Univerzita Komenského v Bratislave www.uniba.sk Constantine the Philosopher University Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre www.ukf.sk in Nitra J.
