Institute for Language and Academic Preparation for foreign students (UJOP) is the only institution in Slovakia providing comprehensive training for further education in Slovak universities and is the first step for foreigners in obtaining higher education in Slovakia.
Its goal is to provide foreign students with language concepts so they are able not only to communicate in a new language environment but also to obtain expertise on subjects on which they want to specialize in the study at the university.
In addition, UJOP offers preparatory courses in English, mainly for training in medical-biological and technical fields.
A variety of programs:
Program A
10-month course of Slovak language (Intensive)
Students are divided into groups based on the following specializations:
- medical and biological specialization
- technical specialization

- economic specialization
- humanitarian specialization and law
- architecture and art
The program starts in September with a 6-week intensive course of either Slovak language (30 hours/week) or both Slovak and English in the English program (15 hours Slovak / 15 hours of English). This is followed by a 20-hour-a-week course in which students can choose the number of hours of Slovak language and their specialization. Student can have free consultation on his/her subjects or buy additional courses.

Upon successful completion of training the student is given a certificate of completion of training in language and special subjects.
