Interesting facts about the faculty
100% employability of graduates in practice - after graduation, only those graduates who do not want to or cannot work for objective reasons do not work.
Connecting students with practice - partners from practice participate directly in teaching, not only in the form of lectures, but above all by leading the so-called clubs, which are implemented in the form of workshops. Thus, students participate in solving projects and assignments for practice, solve the topics of final theses in direct cooperation with practice, or obtain work positions with business practice partners.
Students already work during their studies - we support students to gain work experience already during their studies, so they have a higher chance of applying to the labor market in the future. Part of the study is professional practice, which they can complete with partners from practice, but also abroad as part of the Erasmus+ program, to which we send them throughout the year (not only during the holidays).
First place in the number of students sent to study abroad - The Faculty of Business has long held the first place in the ranking in the number of students sent to study abroad among individual EU faculties in Bratislava. Approximately 100 students go on study stays or practical internships every year, in the last 10 years we have sent 981 of our students abroad.
MarCet - Marketing Center of the Faculty of Business - a platform for talent scouting and for creative students who want to develop their skills in marketing, marketing communication, product photography and video editing.
Bees at the faculty - with the aim of drawing the attention of students, employees and the general public to the need for environmental protection and sustainability, we planted 9 bee families on the university campus. Our effort is to participate in the protection of the life of bees, whose importance in nature is irreplaceable.
