Tell us about the trends in modern education, are more and more Ukrainians really thinking about entering universities in Europe?
A good education is usually also a good start for a successful career and a higher standard of living. Due to many economic, social and financial factors, Ukrainians are beginning to look for a better fate in other countries, and this applies not only to work and part-time work, but also to education. According to research data, 35% of the Ukrainians surveyed would like to get an education abroad.
If you need a diploma not just for show, but in order to achieve great heights, European education is best suited to this.
The main feature of universities in Europe, in Slovakia in particular, is high-quality and free education in the national language of the country. In Ukraine, there are always not enough budget places, and the competition of applicants in some areas reaches incredibly high rates. There is no need to talk about the high cost of Ukrainian commercial universities, while the cost of studying in Slovakia, with an even higher quality of bachelor's programs, will cost several times cheaper.
What exactly does Slovakia attract potential students? After all, there are alternative countries such as Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.
Slovakia is a small country with great opportunities and prospects. With a population of 8 million, the length between the extreme cities on the border figuratively 550 km and a calm measured lifestyle, this country remains potential and attractive for a new step in life. We are not saying that it is easier to study here, because in any case, no matter what direction you choose, you will have to be patient, be persistent, put a lot of effort into learning a foreign language and diligently go towards the goal. But, despite the prestige and high reputation of Slovak universities (17 of which, by the way, are included in the top 5000 universities in the world), it is somewhat easier to enroll here, and the living costs are moderate. Depending on the city, you can minimize your expenses for housing, food, maintenance, utilities and entertainment up to $ 400 per month. In Slovakia, there are benefits for students to travel by public transport.
Of course, it is difficult for yourself to understand all the intricacies of the process of entering a European university, you can be afraid of a lot and be mistaken in many ways. That is why the language school "Slovak International School" helps everyone who wants to study in Slovakia to learn the Slovak language at the proper level, choose a suitable specialty, and draw up all the necessary documents for admission to a local university.
