University of Economics in Bratislava (EUBA)

Why students choose it

• The only university in the country devoted entirely to economics and business; employers in Bratislava — banks, audit firms, IT and shared-service centres — know the EUBA degree well.
• Plenty of internships in the capital: career centre, job fairs, partnership programmes with business.
• Double degrees and exchange programmes with universities in France, Germany, Austria, Finland, the USA; an active Erasmus+ network.
• Study is tuition-free in both Slovak and English (bachelor's and master's; application fee 90 €).
• Campus in Petržalka with dormitories, a library and sports halls; convenient connection to the city centre.
• Faculty of Applied Languages and Faculty of International Relations — for those combining economics with languages and diplomacy.

Faculties and programmes

How international students apply

Application deadlines

Bachelor's applications for 2027/2028 — from 1 January to 30 April 2027 (English-taught programmes — by 28 February 2027). Application fee 40 €, Ekonómia a právo 60 €, English-taught programmes 90 €. If places remain, faculties announce an additional round in summer.

Entrance exams

• For 2027/2028 EUBA holds a written entrance exam: a general study prerequisites test and one foreign language (Ekonómia a právo adds history and civics, FinTech adds mathematics). Applicants with a SCIO result (VŠP and foreign language) at the 60th percentile or higher, or olympiad prize-winners, are admitted without the exam.
• Faculty of Applied Languages — may test the level of two foreign languages.
• English-taught programmes — proof of English level (certificate or interview).

Documents

• online application on the EUBA website and the application fee;
• nostrified school certificate — the recognition decision (or proof of filing) by the deadline;
• official translation of the certificate into Slovak;
• proof of Slovak level as required by the faculty (usually B1–B2).

International students apply on the same terms. We match the faculty to the student's interests, handle nostrification and the application — see turnkey admission and the route after the 11th grade.

Dormitory and costs

EUBA has its own dormitories in Bratislava: ŠD Dolnozemská next to the main building, ŠD Starohájska, ŠD Prokopa Veľkého, ŠD Ekonóm (Prístavná) and ŠD Vlčie hrdlo. A place for a first-year student costs roughly 85–165 € per month depending on the building and room (2026, check the EUBA dormitory website). Application — after admission, usually in summer; international students get places on equal terms.

EUBA or economics at a classical university?

Economics and management are also taught at classical universities in Slovakia — for example at the Faculty of Management of Comenius University or the Faculty of Economics of Matej Bel University. What sets EUBA apart is that its entire infrastructure — from the library to the career centre — is built around economics: more specialised programmes, dedicated faculties (finance, commerce, business informatics, international relations) and the widest network of business partners in the capital. If the goal is banking, finance, consulting or international trade, EUBA is usually the first choice.
