International
Cooperation & Programmes
International relations at the University of Economics
in Bratislava (UEB) has grown in terms of quantity and quality.
The types of activity, co-operative partners and assistance
to university and individual faculties vary. Most international
activities are organised with the co-operation of European
Union countries, which corresponds with Slovakia’s wish
to become a member of the EU. Co-operation with other countries
of Central and Eastern Europe and with the U.S.A. has been
developed.
The University has concluded collaborative agreements with
about 20 foreign universities. It is also
involved in various multinational programmes with universities
in the EU and in Central and Eastern Europe. These links allows
students and university members to joint an international
network of more than 60 European universities.
Much student and teacher mobility is accomplished through
programmes such as SOCRATES-ERASMUS, LEONARDO DA VINCI, CEEPUS,
MIBP PECO, etc. Despite the great emphasis put on mobility,
the University develops links with universities in abroad
also within the framework of other research and educational
projects aimed to bring qualification closer together in Slovakia
and the EU.
STUDY IN FOREIGN
LANGUAGES.
In response to the growing demand for courses taught
in English, the UEB offers selected courses in economics,
management, business and related subjects in English. Students
can choose from a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate
lectures and seminars taught by qualified faculties’
members.
To further strengthen its international dimension, the University
is opening a PARTIAL STUDY PROGRAMME
IN FRENCH, as well as a PARTIAL
STUDY PROGRAMME IN GERMAN as an expression
of co-operation between the UEB and partner universities abroad.
Becoming an integral part of university studies, it offers
deepening the knowledge and skills in both economic and linguistic
areas. These programmes are focused on domestic students,
nevertheless they enable foreign students to participate also.
