Most study abroad programs in Slovakia will enable you to either study at a full local university or else at an international satellite school which designs courses specifically for foreign students. This latter option, while not offering as extensive a potential course load as a full university, can be a great way to take introductory classes which survey a wide scope of Slovak history and culture.

Classes will be taught in English as well at international schools, whereas at local universities the language barrier can be an inhibitor to your enrollment if you do not speak Slovak. Still, if you are adept in or plan on learning the local language, then studying at a Slovak university can be an amazing immersive experience into local student life.

Some of the most popular subjects to study abroad in Slovakia include international relations, language studies, economics, and the liberal arts (although you can obviously expand your studies into many more academic fields than just these). Study abroad programs in Slovakia are generally offered over the summer term, during fall or spring semester, or for a full academic year. There are pros and cons to all these options, so begin a dialogue with your home university about which might be most plausible given your degree track.
