    A liberal arts education offers you all of this! Not only will it equip you with the skills you will need to get an engaging job as a young professional, but you will become a knowledgeable citizen who can benefit society. Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts (BISLA) is a liberal arts college, the first of its kind in central Europe. Situated in Bratislava, near the borders of four countries – Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, and the Czech republic – BISLA's beautiful campus is right next to Bratislava's historical center, which offers you a real European environment and a vibrant atmosphere. You will study in English, in international classes led by excellent academics from Slovakia and worldwide.
    BISLA's focus on critical thinking skills, attention to the development of personal relations, and engagement in the broader community have brought results in the quality of education offered at BISLA. The OECD's 2013 survey, Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes, confirmed that our education approach is right. BISLA offers small classes (typically ten students) where each student's voice is heard with attention and respect. All courses are taught in English. If you are from Slovakia or another non-English speaking country, your English command will be improved by BISLA's intensive training program in academic English. During their studies, every BISLA student undergoes an internship in a challenging position in the media, a public institution, or an NGO. Students are active in organizing various activities such as theatre, film and sports clubs, debating societies, student journal, etc. Every student is encouraged to spend a semester abroad at our partner universities in Europe, the USA, and Asia.
    BISLA students acquire the skills and knowledge to apply for positions in the private sector, public administration, media, and non-governmental organizations. Over 95% of BISLA alumni continue to pursue graduate education after BISLA. They have a very high admission rate to prestigious universities across Europe. More than 60% of our graduates have completed or are pursuing graduate degrees abroad. Our alumni do come back to Slovakia after their graduate studies and pursue careers in the public sector, non-profit organizations, media, marketing, culture, business, or academia. BISLA provides a well-rounded, skills-centered education, which serves as a springboard for a broad range of professional careers.
    Many of BISLA's graduate's study abroad in English, either English-language programs in central Europe or the United Kingdom or the United States. Our alumni have studied at 19 universities and faculties, almost half of them at institutions abroad like the London School of Economics, King's College, University of Oslo, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, Central European University in Budapest, and more. We have alumni who continue to pursue their Ph.D. degrees in the United States and at Purdue University and the University of Chicago.
    Our vision is that universities provide an appropriate education to equip leaders with the abilities to succeed in a diverse world, bring long-term solutions to local and global problems, and contribute to society's healthy and democratic development, one that honors peace and sustainable human well-being. We also believe that the real purpose of education is not merely to secure a job. Education is essential for its own sake, as a conduit to a meaningful life, to understand world events and appreciate and draw energy from the diversity of arts and culture that our civilization has produced over millennia.
    BISLA aspires to provide its students with an excellent education that will become the basis for their professional career, personal well-being, and awareness of the moral values and ethical standards that are the precondition for becoming a responsible citizen of their community, be it local or global. BISLA follows the tradition of modern liberal arts and sciences, which we believe is the best way to provide appropriate education and teach each student the intellectual skills necessary to become a creative and critically thinking person in the 21st-century knowledge economy and to engage meaningfully in today's culturally and politically diverse world. BISLA endeavors to advance liberal arts education in Europe as the most efficient way to allocate resources into undergraduate education – the time, effort, and skills of students on the one hand and the funds and benefits offered by governments, companies, and society in general on the other.
