We asked each higher education institution in Slovakia to provide us not only with a list of study programmes offered in English, or any other foreign language, but also with a short description of the programme and information about tuition fees, 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 contact on a person responsible, but you can also find in each institution profile a link on a website, where contacts and more information can be found). Since the objective of this publication is to help people from outside Slovakia to find a suitable study programme in Slovakia, we have summarised for you also an overview of higher education system in Slovakia together with general information about application procedures and authentication of the documents issued outside Slovakia needed for the study application in Slovakia. Should you need any other type of information, e.g. information about visa, temporary residence, working while studying, general information about daily life in Slovakia, we recommend you to visit 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. HEIs in Slovakia 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 HEIs provides education in study programmes of all three levels of higher education (bachelor, master and doctoral level) with a significant portion of study programmes of the second level and study programmes of the third level. Study programmes are carried out in connection with activities of HEIs 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 HEIs. b) The non-university type of HEIs provides higher education mostly in study programmes of the first level of higher education. Based on founding and funding, there are 3 types of HEIs: . Public higher education institutions are established by law. They are financed mostly by the government. They are statutory and self-governing institutions. At present, there are 20 public HEIs in Slovakia, comprising 9 more or less traditional universities, 5 universities of technology, 3 HEIs of art and music, 1 university of economics, 1 university of veterinary medicine and pharmacy and 1 university of agriculture. State higher education institutions (3 HEIs) are military, police and medical schools. They are established by law and governed by the state through the respective ministries of the government. State HEIs are fully funded by the state budget. Private higher education institutions (12 HEIs) need a state approval issued by the Government of the Slovak Republic. They are established and funded by non-governmental institutions or founders. Most of the private HEIs provide education in the field of economics, business, management, public administration, law, international relations, regional development, medical and social work. HEIs can be divided into organisational units, i.e. faculty (“fakulta”; self-governing unit with a higher level of autonomy), institute (“ústav”; governed by the respective HEI or faculty, usually comprising more departments) and department (“katedra”). Also foreign HEIs established and situated in the territory of another member state of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland may provide higher education in accordance with the law of their country of origin in 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 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.
