FAQ

Can I apply even if I am not from Slovakia?

A foreign applicant has the same conditions as an applicant from the Slovak Republic, but must complete a language and professional training course for the purpose of mastering the requirements of the study programme in the Slovak language. The test for the entrance exam must be taken in Slovak language (except for applicants from the Czech Republic).

• An applicant who has been issued a certificate of a Slovak living abroad under a special regulation is considered to be a citizen of the Slovak Republic.
• An applicant who has passed a non-matriculation examination in the Slovak language is obliged to submit a certificate proving the level of proficiency in the Slovak language (hereinafter referred to as the "certificate") or a confirmation of completion of an accredited course in the Slovak language (hereinafter referred to as the "confirmation"). The certificate or certificate must be issued by a Slovak language school that is registered in the network of schools and educational establishments of the Slovak Republic or by a university in the Slovak Republic that organises or carries out language or vocational training for study at the university. The certified document must be submitted by the date of enrolment.
