Slovak language courses for university admission
If you want to save money on higher education, it is worth considering the option of learning Slovak. Let's compare the costs of a bachelor's degree in English and an intensive Slovak language course at iCan School, which will prepare you to study Slovak for free in 10 months.
The tuition in English will cost about 2,000 euros per year and you will pay about 6,000 euros over 3 years.
An intensive Slovak language course at iCan School costs only 4,000 euros for 10 months.
The difference in cost is obvious: 6,000 - 4,000 = 2,000 euros.
Thus, in 3 years you will spend only 4,000 euros for an intensive Slovak language course instead of 6,000 euros for an English course. This is much more cost-effective and allows you to save up to 2,000 euros by choosing the path of intensive Slovak language learning.
