National student fee
In Slovakia each public university decides on its own fees. Students with standard progress pay only small fees, such as admission costs and the student ID card, which apply to first-year students; in 2023/24 these ranged from EUR 5 to EUR 105 a year, with EUR 14 as the most common amount. Tuition can be charged in both cycles to part-time students, students who exceed the standard length of study, students enrolled in two or more programmes at once and students in programmes taught in a foreign language, which cost significantly more than programmes in Slovak or a national minority language.
In 2023/24 the maximum annual tuition was EUR 2,725 for full-time study, EUR 5,970 for part-time first-cycle study and EUR 8,830 for part-time second-cycle study. The rector can reduce, waive or postpone fees, taking into account your academic results, social or health situation or other special circumstances.Student grants
Need-based grants are available to home full-time students, which means students with permanent residence in Slovakia, or, under certain conditions, those granted asylum, subsidiary protection or temporary refuge. Students with disabilities can keep receiving them even after exceeding the standard length of study. In 2023/24 the most common need-based grant was EUR 2,404 (all cycles together).
Merit-based grants are open to home and international, full-time and part-time students; the most common amount was EUR 693. Under the 2023 rules, 10% of full-time students could receive EUR 500, and at least 15% could receive on average EUR 1,200 in selected fields. There is no age limit for grants.Loans
Publicly subsidised loans are available to home full-time and part-time students: Slovak citizens, Slovaks living abroad, EU citizens with permanent residence in Slovakia and their family members, and students granted asylum, subsidiary protection or temporary refuge. Loans can be combined with grants. In 2023/24, 417 students (0.44% of students at public universities) received a loan. Eurydice gives no loan amounts or repayment details.Tax benefit for student's parents
