8. January 2025

The cooperation between the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (STU) and the University of Economics in Bratislava (EUBA) has reached a new milestone. They will create a total of six study programmes within the STU-EUBA University Consortium. The STU Internal Quality Assurance Board and the EUBA Quality Council agreed on this on 25 April 2025.

These innovative programmes will link knowledge from traditional engineering disciplines with the fields of economics and management. Their graduates will be able to navigate the complex environment of modern industry and commerce.
