What University of Economics in Bratislava does

The University of Economics in Bratislava (Ekonomická univerzita v Bratislave, EUBA) is the largest public university in Slovakia dedicated to economics and management, founded in 1940 and operating across seven faculties (National Economy, Commerce, Economic Informatics, Business Management, International Relations, Applied Languages, and the Faculty of Business Economics with seat in Košice). It serves approximately 7,096 students at bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels in Slovak and foreign languages (English, German, French), and claims a 121,000-strong alumni network. Since 2021 the university has held AACSB International accreditation, placing it within the global tier of accredited business schools, and it is a member of EUA, EFMD, ERSA, EDAMBA, PRME, Magna Charta, and CIDD, with 200+ Erasmus+ and bilateral partner institutions supporting student mobility.

The university's underlying technology stack centers on the internal Academic Information System (AiS2) for course registration, timetables, grading, and administration; an e-learning platform; the ISIC digital student card integrated with CardPay electronic payments; the Univerzitný terminál (TransCard) self-service terminals; and the online cafeteria ordering system at jedalen.euba.sk. Ancillary infrastructure includes the Slovak Economic Library (SEK), EUROSTAT microdata access, the EKONÓM publishing house, dormitories, canteens, a sports centre, and the Aula event venue.

The business model combines state government allocations (the primary funding source for a public university), tuition and study fees set annually under regulations B/5/2025 (effective 2026/2027) and B/4/2024 (effective 2025/2026), ISIC card issuance and annual prolongation fees (€25/€10 new, €15/€12 annual), subsidised cafeteria meal sales at two Bratislava locations, continuing-education and lifelong-learning programmes through the Centre of Lifelong Learning (including the University of the Third Age, controller training, and language preparation courses), and publishing/event-venue revenue. Go-to-market is multi-channel: top-of-funnel digital (euba.sk, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram), mid-funnel events (Deň otvorených dverí / Open Days, Children's University of Economics), and a centralised e-prihláška admissions portal, supplemented by the Career Centre's annual Job Fair that connects roughly 6,500 students with major employers including KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Lidl, Kaufland, Allianz, ČSOB, Slovnaft, OMV, HPE, Kyndryl, and the European Central Bank.
