CU took part in education fairs in the Balkans
Between 11 and 13 October, 2024, for the first time, Comenius University Bratislava (CU) was represented at World Education Fair (WEF) events in Ljubljana and in Zagreb, and at EDUfair in Belgrade. University representatives promoted CU’s study programmes in Slovak and English, aiming to reach potential students from Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.
Bi-lingual study programmes in the areas of management, medicine, biochemistry, mathematics and physics attracted the greatest interest. Comenius University offers potential students Slovak lectures and preparatory courses to master the language. Visitors were also interested in continuing their master or doctoral studies in Slovakia, and asked about the practical aspects of student life in Bratislava, like accommodation options, living expenses and possible study mobilities abroad.
World Education Fair is the largest network of recruitment events in Southeast Europe. For 16 years, it has been holding events focusing on education in Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania, Serbia, and in Lithuania in the Baltics, connecting educational institutions with current and potential students, and creating opportunities for personal meetings.
The participation of CU in fairs in the Balkans was supported from the Recovery and Resilience Facility of the Slovak Republic as part of the "Support for the promotion of universities abroad" call.
