Today we will tell you about the best higher education institutions in the field of natural sciences in Slovakia. According to the rating ARRA, the best universitiesareComenius University in Bratislava, Pavel Josef Safarik University in Kosice, University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra.
Comenius University in Bratislava (Univerzita Komenského v Bratislave).
Comenius university in Bratislavais the oldest and biggest university in the Slovak republic. Comenius university in Bratislava has 13 faculties. They offer diverse study programmes encompassing a broad range of human knowledge - from medicine, humanities and social sciences, to natural sciences, mathematics and theology. Almost 2,400 international students from 70 countries enjoy studying at the oldest university in Slovakia.
Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics (Fakulta mat., fyziky a informatiky)
The BSc (bakalár) programme of 3 years is the lowest undergraduate degree. This programme ends with the Final State Examination, after which the graduate is awarded the degree of “Bakalár (Bc.)”. Successful BSc. graduates can then apply to continue in the appropriate Mgr. programme at Comenius University or at other universities in Slovakia or abroad. The majority of students take this Mgr. (magister) programme which has a nominal span of 2 years.
Faculty of Natural Sciences (Prírodovedecká fakulta)
They have Bachelor Study Programmes [B.Sc.] of 3 years in English (Environmental Studies and Biological Chemistry) and Study Programmes in Slovak:
· Biochemistry
· Biology
· Systematic Biology
· Environmental Science
· Geography, Geoinformatics and Cartography
· Geography in Public Administration
· Geography and Geoecology for Landscape Planning
· Geography and Demography
· Geography, Regional Development and European Integration
· Geology
· Chemistry
· Education
Master Study Programmes [M.Sc.] of 2 years is only in Slovak:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Biotechnology
- Geology
- Geography
- Environmental Science
- Education
PhD programmes generally last for four years and students are expected to submit a thesis within this period. In the first year, students normally devote themselves to identifying a topic and surveying as much pertinent literature as possible to prove the originality of their research. Here, they will have guidance from their academic supervisor. The second and third years are spent on the work required to prove their hypotheses and to formulate specific conclusions. Most of the final year of the Ph.D study is spent on writing up the thesis.
Pavel Josef Safarik University in Kosice (Univerzita Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach)
This University was established in 1959. It is the second oldest University in Slovakia.
