Types of Institutions - Higher Professional Education
The
transformation of experimental fields to the study fields of higher
professional study will lead in legislation to introduction of a new
kind of postsecondary study, the so-called higher professional study.
In this kind of study the secondary technical schools will provide the
graduates with secondary education or secondary technical education
completed by school-leaving examination the higher professional
education but will not provide the higher education that in the light
of higher education law may be provided by higher education institution
only. At the same time, it will be possible to transform the verified
experimental study fields of higher professional education to the
bachelor study programmes of professional higher education institutions.
According
to the Education Act No. 29/1984 of the Law Code, as amended, the
higher professional education is carried on at the conservatoire, the
school of applied art, the secondary health school, and at other SOŠ.
The conservatoire is a specific type of secondary school. As a rule, it takes six years to complete, in the field of dance eight
years (including the upper secondary school). The conservatoires also
prepare the students for the world of work and for higher education
study.
Types of Higher Education Institutions
The
Act No 131/2002 of the Law Code on higher education, as amended,
distinguishes three types of higher education institutions: public
higher education institutions (20), state higher education institutions
(3), private higher education institutions (10) and amendment to the
Act also allows establishment of foreign higher education institutions.
Public,
state and private higher education institutions can provide Bachelor,
Master and Ph.D. degree study programs depending exclusively on the
conditions of accreditation. The higher education institutions may
admit the students only to the study in accredited study programs based
on credit system. Foreign higher education institutions provide the
study programmes according to regulations of countries of their origin.
The
Bachelor study takes three to four years, Magister’s study and
Engineer’s study takes at least one year and at most three years.
Approximately 80 per cent of students pursue this kind of study. The
Doctor’s study in medical and veterinary branches last six years with
about eight per cent of students studying.

etc.). The largest university cities measured according to number of

Nitra.
After 1989, other new forms of study designed primarily
for "non-traditional" groups of students also started developing at the
inception and operation of which a significant role is played by
various foreign institutions.
On 1 November 1990 Academia
Istropolitana, later on renamed to Academia Istropolitana Nova, was
founded which offers the study for graduates of higher education
institutions. The City University in Bratislava is successfully
running. Based on an agreement with the Open University in the United
Kingdom this University has introduced the form of distance education.
Altogether, 5 city universities are operating in different regions of
Slovakia. These the educational institutions, however, have not the
status of a higher education institution.

education institutions and non-higher education institutions (external
educational institutions) carry out PhD study in the study program in
the appropriate study field according to Section 54 of Act No. 131/2002
of Law Code on Higher Education and on the Change and Supplement to
Some Acts, as amended.

legal entity performing research and development on the territory of
the Slovak Republic, which may participate in implementing PhD study in
cooperation with a higher education institution, upon being granted the
accreditation by the Ministry of Education on a contract base.
The PhD study is carried out in full-time or part-time form of study.
