The Institute of Applied Psychology at the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Comenius University Bratislava offers education covering all areas of psychology.

Some also work for non-governmental organisations or have started their own businesses. We offer all levels of study: bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes. Bachelor’s and doctoral studies are also available in English. All our Slovak-language programmes are tuition-free. Our English-language bachelor’s programme is subject to tuition fees. The current fee is available under Forms and Legislation. You can find out more about the study programs here.

We are part of the youngest faculty of Slovakia’s oldest university. We approach education innovatively while maintaining high standards. We are a small faculty where almost everyone knows one another, and our lecturers treat students as partners, with respect. However, what sets us apart most is our focus on a smaller number of courses. Our study plans do not overload students with lectures, and there are fewer examinations, allowing us to explore topics in greater depth. We believe in quality over quantity.

We specialise in applied psychology, which focuses on solving real-world problems. Our programmes also offer students the opportunity to participate in excellent research conducted by our leading researchers and academic experts.

Throughout their studies, we strive to provide students with opportunities to engage with professional practice. We invite practitioners working in relevant fields to contribute to our classes. We also arrange practical placements for our students in settings where they can gain valuable experience and develop their skills. The quality of our education is ensured by a team of lecturers who are leading researchers as well as recognised experts with extensive professional experience.
