In 2005, the Government of Slovakia invited EUA to evaluate all public institutions of higher education in the country. This evaluation intends to support Slovak higher education institutions in their continuing development to meet the best international academic standards and practices adapted to their specific context. The Government also invited private universities and third-level institutions to join in the exercise, and VSM took this opportunity, opting for a particular focus on e-learning. VSM is the only private institution included among the 23 taking part in this process. For the full version of the report, click here (EUA Report).
