The Pan-European University is a private institution of higher education established in 2004 in the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava. The University offers programs on all three levels of higher education at its 5 faculties (Faculty of Law, Faculty of Economy and Business, Faculty of Mass Media, Faculty of Informatics, Faculty of Psychology). The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is fully applied to all courses offered. International co-operation with partner universities abroad is one of the main goals of the University which follows international trends in its study programs by emphasizing its international orientation. Thus, from the very beginning, not only a considerable number of foreign teachers were included in the staff of the University, but also its students were given the opportunity to take part in study programs at partner universities abroad. The University welcomes, therefore, students from universities outside the Slovak Republic on the basis of an exchange scheme. The University involves actively in the ERASMUS+ mobility framework of the European Union. During their studies at PEU, the students may choose from courses taught in Slovak or in Czech language as well as a number of courses taught fully in English or German. English programs are prepared to follow to combine the expertise of the faculties of PEU to offer creative, interdisciplinary and practice oriented approaches in education. Using its international partnerships, the PEU is active in initiatives of international academic cooperation with universities in the European Union, the former Soviet Union, the Balkans region, Southeast and East Asia and Latin America.
