  • 00:00:11
    great so i would like to welcome you to
  • 00:00:14
    our presentation about slovakia and how
  • 00:00:18
    to get a scholarship stay
  • 00:00:20
    to our beautiful as we call it little
  • 00:00:23
    big country
  • 00:00:24
    but firstly let me introduce myself and
  • 00:00:28
    the agency that i work for
  • 00:00:31
    uh my name is magdalena nice to meet you
  • 00:00:34
    and i work for slovak academic
  • 00:00:36
    information agency
  • 00:00:38
    which is a national agency that promotes
  • 00:00:41
    education in slovakia and we are a
  • 00:00:45
    non-profit and non-governmental
  • 00:00:47
    we have been in slovakia for 30 years
  • 00:00:50
    and we aim to strengthen the civic
  • 00:00:53
    society
  • 00:00:54
    via
  • 00:00:56
    internationalization of science and
  • 00:00:58
    education
  • 00:00:59
    which simply means that we want foreign
  • 00:01:01
    students and researchers to come to
  • 00:01:04
    slovakia and enrich our
  • 00:01:07
    education and society with their new uh
  • 00:01:10
    insights and perspectives
  • 00:01:13
    so basically we want you to come to
  • 00:01:15
    studies of slovakia
  • 00:01:17
    and let me tell you why
  • 00:01:19
    a slovakia is a little country in the
  • 00:01:22
    center of europe
  • 00:01:24
    or we like to call it in the heart of
  • 00:01:26
    europe
  • 00:01:28
    and it is not to me not to be mixed up
  • 00:01:31
    with slovenia which is also a country in
  • 00:01:34
    fairly center of europe
  • 00:01:36
    and actually those
  • 00:01:39
    two names are so similar that
  • 00:01:41
    and that is a fact that slovak and
  • 00:01:44
    slovenian embassy have to meet on a
  • 00:01:47
    regular basis
  • 00:01:48
    like maybe once in a several months to
  • 00:01:51
    exchange wrongly addressed mail like
  • 00:01:54
    letters or
  • 00:01:56
    something that you get from post office
  • 00:01:58
    so that is a fun fact
  • 00:02:01
    are some basic facts about slovakia
  • 00:02:04
    um there is fine 5.4 million inhabitants
  • 00:02:08
    in our country
  • 00:02:10
    we are a parliamentary democracy and a
  • 00:02:13
    member of uh european union and as well
  • 00:02:16
    a member of the schengen area which
  • 00:02:18
    means that you can freely move around
  • 00:02:21
    the whole of europe if you
  • 00:02:24
    come to slovakia and we used to be a
  • 00:02:26
    part of czechoslovakia until 1993 so
  • 00:02:29
    maybe the word czechoslovakia
  • 00:02:32
    might ring a bell to you
  • 00:02:35
    now we are a separate and independent
  • 00:02:37
    country
  • 00:02:39
    and our currency is euro
  • 00:02:41
    and as i already said we are a member of
  • 00:02:43
    schengen area
  • 00:02:46
    which is uh quite um i would say um
  • 00:02:50
    very efficient and really nice to
  • 00:02:54
    be in a country like that because when
  • 00:02:56
    you come
  • 00:02:57
    to slovakia in our currency is euro you
  • 00:03:00
    can for example go to
  • 00:03:02
    uh the country just across the borders
  • 00:03:04
    for example austria and you can pay with
  • 00:03:07
    the same currency you don't have to
  • 00:03:09
    exchange any money and you can go there
  • 00:03:11
    without any
  • 00:03:12
    um
  • 00:03:14
    any problems at the border
  • 00:03:18
    so this is a little map of slovakia as
  • 00:03:21
    you can see we are surrounded by poland
  • 00:03:23
    czech republic austria and hungary
  • 00:03:26
    and our capital city is the most western
  • 00:03:34
    and now you can see in a little bit of
  • 00:03:37
    perspective
  • 00:03:38
    and i think that our location is really
  • 00:03:41
    great because if you for example want to
  • 00:03:43
    go for a trip from bratislava to for
  • 00:03:45
    example prague vienna or budapest which
  • 00:03:49
    are um
  • 00:03:51
    world famous metropolis
  • 00:03:53
    you just have to spend maybe from one to
  • 00:03:56
    three hours in a car
  • 00:03:58
    which is a great uh
  • 00:04:01
    you know
  • 00:04:02
    great time to spend just traveling and
  • 00:04:04
    then you are there so maybe even for a
  • 00:04:06
    day trip
  • 00:04:09
    so
  • 00:04:10
    now i would like to tell you some more
  • 00:04:12

  • 00:05:14
    5.4 million yes so you can try to turn
  • 00:05:17
    yes yes it is working
  • 00:05:20
    is everyone now seeing it moving
  • 00:05:23

    you can even say it out loud if you wish
  • 00:05:53
    okay so maybe i will just show you for a
  • 00:05:55
    little bit of the slides as i already
  • 00:05:58
    told you there are 5.4 million
  • 00:06:00
    inhabitants we are democracy we have uh
  • 00:06:04
    euro as a currency we used to be a part
  • 00:06:06
    of czechoslovakia
  • 00:06:08
    and this is a little map so you have
  • 00:06:11
    some idea of what slovakia is
  • 00:06:14
    it's a country and for the most part we
  • 00:06:17
    are covered by mountains and lowlands
  • 00:06:20
    and we have a lot of rivers and lakes
  • 00:06:23
    and now here as i said you can see
  • 00:06:26
    bratislava at the most western part of
  • 00:06:29
    the country at vienna prague and
  • 00:06:31
    budapest are just one to three hours
  • 00:06:34
    right away
  • 00:06:36
    so i hope that you can already and still
  • 00:06:39
    see the slides and the presentation is
  • 00:06:41
    working again
  • 00:06:45
    okay i hope there is no complaint so
  • 00:06:48
    yep okay
  • 00:06:50
    great
  • 00:06:51
    so uh let me now tell you some
  • 00:06:53
    interesting facts about slovakia and uh
  • 00:06:56
    convince you that really coming to
  • 00:06:58
    slovakia is a good idea
  • 00:07:10
    due to our location which is in the
  • 00:07:12
    center of europe
  • 00:07:14
    we have always been on the crossroads of
  • 00:07:17
    cultures and on of the historical events
  • 00:07:21
    and we have also crossed all the
  • 00:07:23
    historical milestones of europe
  • 00:07:26
    and sometimes for the worse and
  • 00:07:28
    sometimes for the better as you probably
  • 00:07:30
    know um after the second world war
  • 00:07:34
    we have been a part of the soviet union
  • 00:07:37
    and uh we had
  • 00:07:41
    nearly half a century of communism
  • 00:07:45
    and from that
  • 00:07:48
    we inherited for example even the
  • 00:07:50
    buildings that you can see the typical
  • 00:07:53
    blocks of flats that were built during
  • 00:07:56
    the communist era
  • 00:07:58
    and we also inherited um
  • 00:08:01
    civic society
  • 00:08:03
    and ideas ideas that we can always
  • 00:08:06
    protest when something is wrong
  • 00:08:08
    so we have passed from communism to
  • 00:08:11
    independence in a matter of
  • 00:08:13
    um half a century
  • 00:08:15
    and that is that is very interesting to
  • 00:08:18
    see in the
  • 00:08:19
    um in the historical surroundings that
  • 00:08:21
    you see when you come to slovakia but
  • 00:08:23
    also in the minds of people
  • 00:08:28
    except of our history we have
  • 00:08:30
    breathtaking nature as i already said
  • 00:08:34
    our country is for the most part covered
  • 00:08:36
    in mountain ranges and with that nature
  • 00:08:40
    comes also wildlife because we have more
  • 00:08:42
    than
  • 00:08:44
    10 natural preserves and you can see
  • 00:08:48
    a great variety of wild animals there
  • 00:08:53
    and maybe you uh have already heard
  • 00:08:55
    about our most famous mountains which
  • 00:08:57
    you can see on the pictures they are
  • 00:08:59
    called high tetras
  • 00:09:01
    and they are on the northern part of our
  • 00:09:04
    country on the borders with poland so if
  • 00:09:07
    you come to slovakia it's really easy
  • 00:09:10
    to go somewhere for a hike or for a walk
  • 00:09:13
    in nature because at any point nature is
  • 00:09:16
    maybe like
  • 00:09:18
    10 minutes to 30 minutes 30 minutes away
  • 00:09:20
    from you even if you live in the capital
  • 00:09:24
    we are also a country that is filled
  • 00:09:27
    with castles actually we hold a world
  • 00:09:30
    record for that because we have the most
  • 00:09:33
    number of castles per capita in our
  • 00:09:35
    country which is maybe like more than
  • 00:09:38
    600 castles in slovakia
  • 00:09:41
    and those castles are not fun to see
  • 00:09:44
    from outside but only also from the
  • 00:09:46
    inside because they are a great
  • 00:09:48
    historical inheritance
  • 00:09:51
    and when you come there there you feel
  • 00:09:54
    like a prince or princess in a maybe
  • 00:09:57
    in a in a fairy tale
  • 00:10:01
    except
  • 00:10:02
    castles and mountains you can also visit
  • 00:10:05
    a lot of caves in slovakia because we
  • 00:10:08
    have
  • 00:10:10
    many many caves that are accessible for
  • 00:10:13
    public even a cave that has stalactites
  • 00:10:16
    and stalagmites made from made from ice
  • 00:10:19
    as you can see
  • 00:10:20
    on the left
  • 00:10:22
    upper part of the slide
  • 00:10:27
    as i already said with history comes
  • 00:10:30
    also historical inheritance and we also
  • 00:10:33
    have for many world heritage sites in
  • 00:10:35
    slovakia including the castle that you
  • 00:10:37
    can see here on the picture and that is
  • 00:10:39
    the biggest
  • 00:10:40
    uh castle in the central europe
  • 00:10:44
    and believe me when i say when you go
  • 00:10:46
    there it's breathtaking
  • 00:10:49
    except castles and nature we also have
  • 00:10:51
    many historical towns
  • 00:10:53
    uh many historical uh monuments and
  • 00:10:56
    buildings for example like the blue
  • 00:10:58
    church
  • 00:10:59
    or
  • 00:11:00
    the famous mining towns in the center of
  • 00:11:02
    slovakia that are very beautiful because
  • 00:11:06
    uh in the past the mining and the mining
  • 00:11:09
    industry and the precious metals brought
  • 00:11:12
    them wealth
  • 00:11:13
    so when you go there you feel like
  • 00:11:16
    you are um
  • 00:11:18
    200 years back in the past
  • 00:11:22
    and also uh we have to mention our
  • 00:11:24
    gastronomy which is mainly based on
  • 00:11:27
    milk and a cheese as historically
  • 00:11:30
    slovakia has been a country
  • 00:11:33
    where
  • 00:11:34
    people would have a lot of sheep and
  • 00:11:38
    mainly in the northern part of the
  • 00:11:40
    country there were a lot of shepherds so
  • 00:11:42
    our gastronomy is made
  • 00:11:45
    basically on cheese flour
  • 00:11:47
    potatoes
  • 00:11:50
    and
  • 00:11:52
    things like this for example even poppy
  • 00:11:55
    which is
  • 00:11:57
    banned in some countries
  • 00:12:01
    and on the
  • 00:12:03
    bottom left part of the slide you can
  • 00:12:06
    see the meal which is called halushki
  • 00:12:10
    is the most famous meal of slovakia
  • 00:12:12
    maybe you heard about that and it's made
  • 00:12:14
    of
  • 00:12:16
    pasta which is similar to gnocchi in
  • 00:12:18
    italy and then you mix it with sheep
  • 00:12:21
    cheese and top it with bacon and if you
  • 00:12:23
    come to slovakia you have to try it
  • 00:12:27
    and of course alcar culture is also very
  • 00:12:31
    rich
  • 00:12:32
    we have some inheritance in the fold
  • 00:12:35
    folk culture folk dances and folk
  • 00:12:37
    singing but also maybe you didn't know
  • 00:12:40
    that andy warhol comes from slovakia and
  • 00:12:43
    he even has a museum dedicated to him in
  • 00:12:47
    the
  • 00:12:48
    little village that he was born in
  • 00:12:53
    and except all of that that i just said
  • 00:12:55
    we are not crowded we have
  • 00:12:58
    many areas with excellent air quality
  • 00:13:01
    and 30 of our surface is covered in
  • 00:13:04
    forests and we are as safe as germany
  • 00:13:07
    sweden belgium or netherlands
  • 00:13:10
    so i hope that all of these facts
  • 00:13:13
    convinced you that slovakia is really
  • 00:13:15
    worth visiting
  • 00:13:17
    and
  • 00:13:18
    now i told you why you should visit
  • 00:13:20
    slovakia by why should you study here or
  • 00:13:22
    do your research here well basically we
  • 00:13:25
    have a few points to convince you with
  • 00:13:28
    and first is location because as i
  • 00:13:30
    already said when you come to slovakia
  • 00:13:32
    the door to all of europe is open to you
  • 00:13:36
    we have loved low tuition fees
  • 00:13:39
    and with that also high quality
  • 00:13:41
    education in many highly ranked
  • 00:13:43
    universities
  • 00:13:45
    so how is the slovak higher education
  • 00:13:47
    system
  • 00:13:48
    well it's very similar to other european
  • 00:13:52
    countries but basically if you want to
  • 00:13:54
    come to study at the university you
  • 00:13:56
    start with a bachelor degree which
  • 00:13:58
    usually takes for three to four years
  • 00:14:01
    and the four years if you study
  • 00:14:03
    architecture arts or design then you
  • 00:14:06
    continue with master which usually takes
  • 00:14:08
    from one to three years or five to six
  • 00:14:11
    years if you study medicine veterinary
  • 00:14:13
    medicine or pharmacy and then if you
  • 00:14:16
    wish to
  • 00:14:17
    you
  • 00:14:18
    come to study doctorate
  • 00:14:20
    and that is from three to four years
  • 00:14:23
    and if you have any questions you can
  • 00:14:25
    just stop me and raise your hand and ask
  • 00:14:27
    them
  • 00:14:30
    we offer our education in
  • 00:14:34
    20 public three state and 11 private uh
  • 00:14:38
    universities in slovakia and together
  • 00:14:42
    they offer more than 400 study programs
  • 00:14:45
    offered in english language or other
  • 00:14:47
    foreign languages
  • 00:14:51
    and
  • 00:14:52
    of course when it comes to education and
  • 00:14:54
    studying in slovakia you must ask a
  • 00:14:57
    question
  • 00:14:58
    that how much does it cost
  • 00:15:00
    so
  • 00:15:01
    to tell you simply students studying
  • 00:15:03
    full-time in slovakia
  • 00:15:05
    in slovak language pay no tuition fees
  • 00:15:08
    and it's a legal requirement that
  • 00:15:13
    education in slavic language is free of
  • 00:15:15
    charge for people who study in slovak
  • 00:15:18
    language
  • 00:15:19
    and if you come to study in a foreign
  • 00:15:21
    language you do pay tuition fees but
  • 00:15:24
    they vary from maybe 500 euros to 12 000
  • 00:15:29
    euros per year but don't worry the
  • 00:15:31
    higher end of um tuition fees is not
  • 00:15:34
    that common and it's mainly
  • 00:15:37
    with the programs like medicine or
  • 00:15:40
    veterinary medicine
  • 00:15:44
    and um
  • 00:15:45
    when we are talking about money and
  • 00:15:47
    tuition fees you also must probably
  • 00:15:50
    wonder how
  • 00:15:52
    expensive is it to live in slovakia well
  • 00:15:55
    even though we are as safe as maybe
  • 00:15:57
    belgium germany or netherlands we are
  • 00:16:00
    not that expensive and it also depends
  • 00:16:04
    on the lifestyle that you lead so for
  • 00:16:07
    example for food you may pay from 100 to
  • 00:16:11
    250 euros per month depending on if you
  • 00:16:15
    cook your own food or you eat in a
  • 00:16:17
    restaurant
  • 00:16:21
    we have a question that if it's there
  • 00:16:23
    any scholarship and yes of course there
  • 00:16:25
    is and we will get
  • 00:16:27
    uh to that in a minute
  • 00:16:29
    and for accommodation in a private
  • 00:16:31
    apartment you may pay around 300 euros
  • 00:16:35
    but even
  • 00:16:36
    lower
  • 00:16:37
    if you for example share a room or also
  • 00:16:40
    depends on the city that you live in
  • 00:16:43
    but for dormitory you may pay from
  • 00:16:47
    80 euros per month and even lower in
  • 00:16:50
    some cities
  • 00:16:51
    so if you live in a dorm for example
  • 00:16:53
    during your scholarship stays
  • 00:16:56
    it is not
  • 00:16:57
    very expensive it's quite
  • 00:17:00
    well priced
  • 00:17:02
    and for internet or tv you pay from 10
  • 00:17:04
    to 20 euros per month
  • 00:17:06
    and that is probably if you live in a
  • 00:17:08
    private apartment but for example if you
  • 00:17:11
    do live in a dorm
  • 00:17:13
    the
  • 00:17:13
    internet is already
  • 00:17:16
    provided to you
  • 00:17:21
    and if you wish to work alongside your
  • 00:17:23
    studies you can do so because students
  • 00:17:25
    in slovakia can work up to 20 hours per
  • 00:17:28
    week legally
  • 00:17:29
    and there is a small tip for you that
  • 00:17:32
    after graduation you can extend your
  • 00:17:35
    residence permit up to nine months to in
  • 00:17:38
    order to find a job or start a business
  • 00:17:40
    in slovakia
  • 00:17:41
    if you like it here which i hope you
  • 00:17:44
    would
  • 00:17:46
    and if you are interested in all of this
  • 00:17:48

    your questions that you have regarding
  • 00:19:20
    scholarships and let me tell you
  • 00:19:22
    something more about this program
  • 00:19:25
    a national scholarship program of the
  • 00:19:27
    slovak republic is a program that is for
  • 00:19:31
    any student in any country in the world
  • 00:19:34
    world that would like to come to
  • 00:19:36
    slovakia
  • 00:19:38
    it supports the mobility of students and
  • 00:19:41
    if you are a student you can come here
  • 00:19:43
    for one to two semesters
  • 00:19:45
    and of course also of phd students and
  • 00:19:48
    researchers university teachers and
  • 00:19:51
    artists and if you fall into these
  • 00:19:53
    categories you can come to slovakia for
  • 00:19:55
    a study stay of 1 to 10 months
  • 00:20:01
    here you can see the scholarship that
  • 00:20:04
    you get and if you are a university
  • 00:20:06
    student you get a scholarship of 400
  • 00:20:09
    euros per month
  • 00:20:11
    so it's a scholarship on a monthly basis
  • 00:20:14
    if you are a phd student you get 734
  • 00:20:18
    euros per month and if you are a
  • 00:20:20
    university teacher researcher or arctic
  • 00:20:23
    artist
  • 00:20:24
    you get um
  • 00:20:26
    depends on
  • 00:20:28
    the
  • 00:20:29
    qualification that you have if you are a
  • 00:20:32
    university teacher yet without phd
  • 00:20:35
    degree or equivalent you get the same as
  • 00:20:38
    a phd students if you already have your
  • 00:20:40
    phd degree
  • 00:20:42
    and work less than 10 years then you get
  • 00:20:46
    980 euros and if you have a phd degree
  • 00:20:50
    and work for more than 10 months
  • 00:20:53
    as a university teacher then you get
  • 00:20:56
    more than 1 000 euros per month so i
  • 00:20:59
    think those scholarships are really
  • 00:21:01
    really nice
  • 00:21:04
    also um
  • 00:21:05
    you have to take into regard that living
  • 00:21:08
    in slovakia is not
  • 00:21:09
    that expensive as for example in finland
  • 00:21:12
    or other european countries
  • 00:21:18
    and in addition to the scholarship you
  • 00:21:21
    also can be awarded and you can apply
  • 00:21:24
    for a travel allowance
  • 00:21:26
    and uh with this uh information
  • 00:21:30
    i have to tell you that it depends on
  • 00:21:32
    how long you travel and if your distance
  • 00:21:35
    is less than 350 kilometers you do not
  • 00:21:39
    get a travel allowance but
  • 00:21:42
    as i can um
  • 00:21:44
    as i know that know that this
  • 00:21:48
    webinar is for students in indonesia
  • 00:21:50
    your distance is more than 7 000
  • 00:21:53
    kilometers so
  • 00:21:54
    you would get a travel allowance of 1000
  • 00:21:57
    euros so
  • 00:21:58
    that's also a great help
  • 00:22:00
    if you would like to travel to slovakia
  • 00:22:04
    for a scholarship stay
  • 00:22:07
    and regarding the application procedure
  • 00:22:09
    and deadlines scholarship applications
  • 00:22:12

    academic year but the year after that

    tell you something more and we can pay
  • 00:25:03
    attention to them at the end
  • 00:25:07
    so regarding the national scholarship
  • 00:25:09
    program of the slovak republic you
  • 00:25:12
    should you probably ask
  • 00:25:14
    the question how to correctly prepare
  • 00:25:16
    attachments to application or what do
  • 00:25:19
    you need to provide if you want to apply
  • 00:25:22
    so you need to
  • 00:25:24
    attach to the application
  • 00:25:27
    your curriculum vitae motivation letter
  • 00:25:30
    program of the stay two letters of
  • 00:25:33
    recommendation from your university
  • 00:25:35
    teacher
  • 00:25:36
    teachers
  • 00:25:38
    if you ask what is the program of the
  • 00:25:40
    state that is a brief or even lengthy
  • 00:25:43
    description of the things that you would
  • 00:25:45
    like to do in slovakia for example you
  • 00:25:48
    apply for a scholarship state at the
  • 00:25:51
    communist university and you study
  • 00:25:54
    for example economics then then you
  • 00:25:57
    stayed in your program of the state all
  • 00:26:00
    the subjects that you would like to
  • 00:26:02
    um
  • 00:26:04
    go to
  • 00:26:05
    or enroll to
  • 00:26:07
    or you stayed there all the libraries
  • 00:26:10
    that you would like to visit that you
  • 00:26:11
    maybe would like to work with some
  • 00:26:13
    university teacher and so on
  • 00:26:16
    then uh you need student status
  • 00:26:18
    confirmation and that is a document from
  • 00:26:21
    your university that states that you are
  • 00:26:23
    a full-time student of their university
  • 00:26:28
    then you'll need a scan of applicants
  • 00:26:29

    thank you so much from elena
  • 00:29:22
    actually there are some questions from
  • 00:29:24
    the chat chat box so you can check
  • 00:29:27
    the chat box yes yes i'm already looking
  • 00:29:30
    at them
  • 00:29:32
    so we have a question from leah
  • 00:29:35
    and hi lia
  • 00:29:37
    nice to meet you
  • 00:29:38
    and she wants to ask she if she should
  • 00:29:41
    have a letter of
  • 00:29:43
    sorry can you explain letter letter of
  • 00:29:46
    um application before applying to
  • 00:29:48
    scholarship
  • 00:29:50
    letter of acceptance
  • 00:29:52
    letter of acceptance sorry yeah
  • 00:29:55
    yes before applying to scholarship you
  • 00:29:58
    should already have the letter of
  • 00:29:59
    acceptance because when you apply via
  • 00:30:03
    the online application system that is
  • 00:30:06
    one of the uh attachments that you
  • 00:30:10
    attach to the application
  • 00:30:12
    because if you do not have the letter of
  • 00:30:15
    acceptance then um
  • 00:30:17
    maybe the committee wouldn't be sure if
  • 00:30:19
    there is any university that you could
  • 00:30:22
    go to
  • 00:30:23
    but it's not
  • 00:30:25
    to be honest very hard to get the letter
  • 00:30:27
    of acceptance they are always happy to
  • 00:30:30
    have international students at their
  • 00:30:32
    departments
  • 00:30:34
    and if you are struggling with which
  • 00:30:36
    university to choose you can always ask
  • 00:30:38
    us
  • 00:30:39
    and we will uh
  • 00:30:40
    be very happy to give you advice or you
  • 00:30:43
    can even uh search through the
  • 00:30:45
    um document the publication about
  • 00:30:48
    scholars
  • 00:30:49
    about
  • 00:30:51
    study programs in slovakia that i told
  • 00:30:53
    you about and there are
  • 00:30:56
    a lot of them maybe as i already said to
  • 00:30:58
    you more than five or four hundred
  • 00:31:06
    uh so we have another questions a
  • 00:31:09
    question is there any university applied
  • 00:31:12
    of of applied sciences
  • 00:31:15
    in the eastern europe countries um
  • 00:31:18
    i think so of course there are
  • 00:31:21
    um
  • 00:31:23
    universities that offer applied sciences
  • 00:31:26
    programs even
  • 00:31:27
    we have
  • 00:31:29
    i don't know if you are a student or
  • 00:31:31
    phd students but we also have a slovak
  • 00:31:34
    academy of sciences
  • 00:31:35
    where you can
  • 00:31:36
    do also your research with this
  • 00:31:39
    scholarship
  • 00:31:41
    so i would also give you this piece of
  • 00:31:43
    advice and that is to look through our
  • 00:31:45
    publication of study programs in
  • 00:31:48
    slovakia and i think that you will find
  • 00:31:51
    there
  • 00:31:52
    what you are looking for
  • 00:31:54
    or even write me an email and i will
  • 00:31:58
    look
  • 00:32:00
    have a look at it and
  • 00:32:03
    you know
  • 00:32:04
    search for study programs that would be
  • 00:32:06
    ideal for you
  • 00:32:10
    if you have any more questions regarding
  • 00:32:13
    your question that i have not answered
  • 00:32:15
    you can give
  • 00:32:17
    type a new one
  • 00:32:21
    we have a question from zara
  • 00:32:24
    and she says i would like to ask is
  • 00:32:26
    there any slovakia student mobility or
  • 00:32:29
    exchange program for undergraduate
  • 00:32:31
    students thank you very much in advance
  • 00:32:34
    hi zara nice to meet you and
  • 00:32:36
    unfortunately right now there is not but
  • 00:32:40
    we are working on it and in a matter
  • 00:32:42
    maybe of several months
  • 00:32:44
    there would there should be an
  • 00:32:46
    information that
  • 00:32:48
    there is
  • 00:32:49
    already a program for undergraduate
  • 00:32:51
    students
  • 00:32:53
    i don't know if you know but in slovakia
  • 00:32:55
    we have now this great wave of
  • 00:32:57
    reformations and this is one of them
  • 00:33:01
    so maybe next a year or a year after
  • 00:33:04
    that they will there would already be a
  • 00:33:06
    program for undergraduate students
  • 00:33:15
    do we need to submit yales or trifle if
  • 00:33:19
    yes what are the minimum requirements
  • 00:33:22
    that
  • 00:33:23
    depends on the university that you
  • 00:33:25
    applied some universities require a
  • 00:33:28
    language certificate and some just
  • 00:33:31
    require a statement for from your
  • 00:33:33
    teacher
  • 00:33:34
    saying that you do speak english and
  • 00:33:37
    some do not require any language
  • 00:33:39
    certificate at all
  • 00:33:40
    if i'm speaking about the program and if
  • 00:33:43
    it's in the attachments that you have to
  • 00:33:44
    submit no you do not have to submit any
  • 00:33:47
    certificate and the rest is only
  • 00:33:51
    on the university and their decision so
  • 00:33:54
    if you choose the university and you
  • 00:33:58
    you would
  • 00:33:59
    like to ask them for a letter of
  • 00:34:01
    acceptance that is also one matter that
  • 00:34:03
    you should discuss with them
  • 00:34:11
    i'm glad that i see some messages that
  • 00:34:14
    uh already some people have decided to
  • 00:34:17
    communicate with me or my colleague via
  • 00:34:19
    email and i will be happy to hear from
  • 00:34:22
    you
  • 00:34:24
    another question is their language
  • 00:34:26
    preparation before you start the
  • 00:34:28
    master's degree
  • 00:34:30
    well if you start a master's degree in
  • 00:34:33
    english there is no language preparation
  • 00:34:36
    and they automatically assume that you
  • 00:34:38
    speak english but if you for example
  • 00:34:40
    come to slovakia and you would like to
  • 00:34:43
    study in slovak language uh there are
  • 00:34:46
    some car courses some are paid some are
  • 00:34:49
    free
  • 00:34:50
    offered by
  • 00:34:51
    slovak universities
  • 00:34:53
    but mind you
  • 00:34:56
    if you would like to study in slovak
  • 00:34:58
    they automatically assume that you speak
  • 00:35:00
    slovak at the level that you
  • 00:35:02
    understand of them speaking in slovak at
  • 00:35:05
    classes
  • 00:35:12
    another question from stella i would
  • 00:35:14
    like to ask are there any special
  • 00:35:16
    criteria for the letter of
  • 00:35:17
    recommendation does it have to be from a
  • 00:35:19
    professor or can it be a lecturer
  • 00:35:22
    without the professor title thank you
  • 00:35:25
    no it does not have to be a professor
  • 00:35:27
    and it is best if it's someone that
  • 00:35:30
    knows you
  • 00:35:31
    so the letter of recommendation
  • 00:35:33
    shouldn't be maybe from the head of your
  • 00:35:35
    department that had
  • 00:35:37
    didn't have any classes with you during
  • 00:35:40
    the course of your studies but should be
  • 00:35:43
    maybe from um the
  • 00:35:45
    teacher that was uh
  • 00:35:48
    your advisor on your for example
  • 00:35:50
    bachelor thesis
  • 00:35:52
    on or some course that
  • 00:35:55
    the teacher got to know you and it's
  • 00:35:59
    important that the letter of
  • 00:36:00
    recommendation
  • 00:36:01
    uh expresses that
  • 00:36:04
    the teacher sincerely recommends you for
  • 00:36:06
    the stay so that's why it's best if it's
  • 00:36:09
    someone that knows you and
  • 00:36:11
    knows um
  • 00:36:12
    who you are and can
  • 00:36:15
    sincerely
  • 00:36:16
    uh
  • 00:36:17
    say some things about you
  • 00:36:20
    so no it may be even a phd student that
  • 00:36:24
    teaches you some lessons
  • 00:36:26
    and
  • 00:36:28
    that's all
  • 00:36:30
    but if you would like to know more
  • 00:36:32
    information then
  • 00:36:34
    write me an email or to our national
  • 00:36:36
    scholarship program coordinator
  • 00:36:39
    and
  • 00:36:40
    we will try to help you the best we can
  • 00:36:52
    we have another question is it possible
  • 00:36:54
    to bring my family there regarding with
  • 00:36:56
    the scholarship availability or your
  • 00:36:59
    country regulation
  • 00:37:01
    that is the question i don't know an
  • 00:37:03
    answer to
  • 00:37:04
    but
  • 00:37:05
    um
  • 00:37:07
    if you drop me an email i will ask our
  • 00:37:10
    program coordinator
  • 00:37:12
    and
  • 00:37:13
    our people that are experts on
  • 00:37:16
    international mobility
  • 00:37:18
    and we will have an answer ready for you
  • 00:37:29
    we have
  • 00:37:30
    another question from
  • 00:37:33
    i hope i pronounced it correctly chelsea
  • 00:37:38
    i would like to ask if i have interest
  • 00:37:40
    about medicine is it possible if my
  • 00:37:42
    previous education is for example from
  • 00:37:44
    computer science
  • 00:37:46
    and how many students will be accepted
  • 00:37:48
    in the scholarship
  • 00:37:50
    regarding the letter questions and
  • 00:37:52
    question and how how many students will
  • 00:37:55
    be accepted in the scholarship it
  • 00:37:57
    depends from year to year because some
  • 00:37:59
    year we have
  • 00:38:00
    more finances from the government some
  • 00:38:03
    year we don't have that many
  • 00:38:05
    but generally
  • 00:38:07
    there is
  • 00:38:09
    it moves in hundreds of hundreds of
  • 00:38:12
    students each each scholarship deadline
  • 00:38:16
    so
  • 00:38:17
    if you
  • 00:38:18
    prepare your application well
  • 00:38:22
    and
  • 00:38:23
    you know what you're looking for and
  • 00:38:25
    your um
  • 00:38:27
    attachments to applications are all
  • 00:38:32
    of quality and not of quantity then you
  • 00:38:35
    have a gracious great chance of success
  • 00:38:39
    and i don't understand the question
  • 00:38:41
    would you like to come for a full study
  • 00:38:43
    of medicine or for a scholarship stay in
  • 00:38:47
    medicine because if it's a scholarship
  • 00:38:49
    stay
  • 00:38:50
    about medicine then it's not possible
  • 00:38:53
    because if you come for a scholarship
  • 00:38:55
    stay with the national scholarship
  • 00:38:56
    program you should
  • 00:38:58
    study something that um
  • 00:39:01
    clearly is
  • 00:39:03
    in line with the object or object of
  • 00:39:05
    your studies
  • 00:39:07
    but if you would like for to come for a
  • 00:39:09
    full study of medicine yeah it's not
  • 00:39:11
    problem if you
  • 00:39:12
    um if you do the
  • 00:39:16
    entrance exam then they will accept you
  • 00:39:19
    no matter what you studied before
  • 00:39:28
    is there any age limit for master
  • 00:39:30
    program applicants um i
  • 00:39:35
    think there is a limit
  • 00:39:37
    that says that you have to
  • 00:39:41
    have uh you have to
  • 00:39:43
    study of for example two and a half
  • 00:39:46
    semesters at least at the university but
  • 00:39:49
    i don't know of any age limit but again
  • 00:39:52
    that's a question that i will have to
  • 00:39:54
    discuss with the program scholarship
  • 00:39:56
    coordinator
  • 00:39:58
    i think it's something to do with the
  • 00:40:00
    age of the applicants when they started
  • 00:40:03
    to apply for the master's program
  • 00:40:07
    i am not sure yes yes i understand the
  • 00:40:10
    question but i only know that if you
  • 00:40:13
    apply that you have to already have
  • 00:40:16
    passed two semesters and a half so you
  • 00:40:19
    can already apply as a bachelor but you
  • 00:40:22
    have to be for example in the third year
  • 00:40:24
    and how in the in the second half of
  • 00:40:27
    your third year of your bachelor studies
  • 00:40:31
    but i don't know of any age limit uh
  • 00:40:34
    stated
  • 00:40:36
    explicitly thank you
  • 00:40:39
    sure
  • 00:40:43
    and for now that that's all of the
  • 00:40:46
    questions if you
  • 00:40:48
    are interesting to know anything else
  • 00:40:51
    just write a question or even
  • 00:40:53
    you can
  • 00:40:54
    turn on your camera and your mic and i
  • 00:40:57

  • 00:41:11
    question is it possible to apply this
  • 00:41:13
    the scholarship in the same time
  • 00:41:16
    with applying to university
  • 00:41:18
    you mean for your master's program
  • 00:41:25
    um
  • 00:41:26
    yes it should be possible to apply
  • 00:41:29
    and
  • 00:41:31
    if you are not already accepted at the
  • 00:41:33
    time of your application to your
  • 00:41:35
    master's program in university
  • 00:41:38
    then you would have to explain it in
  • 00:41:41
    your application attachments and if you
  • 00:41:44
    would be accepted you would be accepted
  • 00:41:46
    conditionally and the condition would be
  • 00:41:48
    that you get accepted to your master's
  • 00:41:50
    program
  • 00:42:02
    another question from imelda i wonder if
  • 00:42:04
    there's any joint research in slovakia
  • 00:42:07
    um what do you mean
  • 00:42:12
    i think there are many programs or maybe
  • 00:42:14
    research cooperations within
  • 00:42:16
    universities in slovak academy of
  • 00:42:18
    sciences or with foreign university or
  • 00:42:21
    research centers so
  • 00:42:24
    yes that is the case there are many um
  • 00:42:28
    joint research
  • 00:42:30
    activities in slovakia but
  • 00:42:32
    if you would like to know something else
  • 00:42:34
    then um
  • 00:42:35
    explain yourself

    the 1960s what subjects did they study
  • 00:43:30
    well
  • 00:43:31
    for that i would probably have to look
  • 00:43:33
    through the archives but maybe you know
  • 00:43:37
    if you ask
  • 00:43:47
    uh we have another question from hilaria

    i know that the moderator of our
  • 00:47:24
    discussion
  • 00:47:26
    has asked a question about
  • 00:47:28
    czechoslovakia and students in indonesia
  • 00:47:30
    do you know something more about it did
  • 00:47:32
    you study in slovakia
  • 00:47:35
    in the 60s some of our
  • 00:47:38
    former indonesian ministers went to
  • 00:47:41
    czechoslovakia but i i didn't know where
  • 00:47:44
    what university did they go they they
  • 00:47:47
    went at the time
  • 00:47:48
    perhaps you can tell us what subjects
  • 00:47:51
    that that were very strong at that time
  • 00:47:54
    because indonesia
  • 00:47:56
    i was very
  • 00:47:58
    close to
  • 00:47:59
    the eastern bloc now in in the 60s so i
  • 00:48:03
    would like to know what subjects
  • 00:48:05
    perhaps
  • 00:48:06
    which were indonesian
  • 00:48:09
    students favorite at that time
  • 00:48:12
    well i don't know specifically but i do
  • 00:48:14
    know that a lot of students from
  • 00:48:17
    indonesia and also for example vietnam
  • 00:48:20
    uh came to study in slovakia
  • 00:48:22
    and
  • 00:48:23
    usually uh like generally
  • 00:48:27
    it do
  • 00:48:28
    they they were subjects
  • 00:48:30
    like from the
  • 00:48:32
    uh technical topics or economic uh and
  • 00:48:35
    so on
  • 00:48:37
    okay
  • 00:48:39
    thank you there's a question from
  • 00:48:41
    gahanna
  • 00:48:42
    yes yes
  • 00:48:44
    so another question from gahanna how you
  • 00:48:47
    how do you think about studying magister
  • 00:48:51
    with different major with bachelor
  • 00:48:53
    degree
  • 00:48:54
    do you ever know about it so
  • 00:48:58
    if you come to slovakia for a full study
  • 00:49:03
    right now there is no scholarship
  • 00:49:05
    available but in the future there will
  • 00:49:07
    be as i said with also the undergraduate
  • 00:49:10
    scholarships
  • 00:49:13
    and if you want to study a different
  • 00:49:15
    major than your bachelor of course it's
  • 00:49:18
    possible
  • 00:49:20
    as any in any other country
  • 00:49:23
    in the world
  • 00:49:25
    and
  • 00:49:26
    of course there are even many slovak
  • 00:49:28
    students that choose something different
  • 00:49:30
    from their bachelor degree you just have
  • 00:49:33
    to
  • 00:49:33
    pass the
  • 00:49:35
    entrance exam
  • 00:49:41
    and if you would like to come for a
  • 00:49:43
    scholarship stay unfortunately uh you
  • 00:49:45
    have to be accepted to your local
  • 00:49:48
    university
  • 00:49:49
    in indonesia for
  • 00:49:51
    us
  • 00:49:53
    for example
  • 00:49:55
    the
  • 00:49:57
    magister studies or the phd studies and
  • 00:50:00
    then
  • 00:50:01
    your scholarship stay is dedicated to
  • 00:50:03
    the same same topic that you study in
  • 00:50:06
    your home country
  • 00:50:09
    thank you for informing this because not
  • 00:50:11
    many indonesians aware that applying
  • 00:50:14
    master's degree different from their
  • 00:50:16
    previous bachelor degree background
  • 00:50:19
    is possible
  • 00:50:21
    especially in europe because i had a
  • 00:50:23
    friend who studied agroforestry agronomy
  • 00:50:26
    and when when she he was in
  • 00:50:29
    a bachelor degree and he took master's
  • 00:50:32
    degree in political communication
  • 00:50:35
    and
  • 00:50:36
    me myself also obtained scholarship
  • 00:50:40
    for system information system at that
  • 00:50:43
    time
  • 00:50:43
    although my master my bachelor degree
  • 00:50:47
    is in forestry but i decided to go to
  • 00:50:50
    some other subject
  • 00:50:52
    but thank you for informing this
  • 00:50:55
    yes sure i even have friends for example
  • 00:50:57
    i studied
  • 00:50:59
    um translation and interpreting in
  • 00:51:01
    english and spanish
  • 00:51:03
    and
  • 00:51:05
    i have
  • 00:51:07
    completed also my master master's degree
  • 00:51:10
    in this subject but i have a friend that
  • 00:51:13
    for example they studied the same with
  • 00:51:14
    me but for the masters they went to
  • 00:51:17
    economics or
  • 00:51:19
    for example some even um
  • 00:51:22
    didn't continue in their studies and
  • 00:51:24
    went to medicine so
  • 00:51:27
    it's uh it's not that uncommon
  • 00:51:30
    yeah because in indonesia
  • 00:51:32
    we call it linearity because something
  • 00:51:35
    to do with with a position uh research
  • 00:51:38
    position in the university or position
  • 00:51:40
    for lecture in the university so you've
  • 00:51:43
    got to have
  • 00:51:45
    the same line of
  • 00:51:47
    subjects for your bachelor and master's
  • 00:51:50
    degree so that's that's something to do
  • 00:51:52
    with
  • 00:51:53
    indonesia's job opportunity especially
  • 00:51:56
    in academics
  • 00:51:58
    yes yes i understand i think here
  • 00:52:01
    there's an understanding that maybe when
  • 00:52:03
    you are 18 00 or 18 18 years old
  • 00:52:07
    not always you
  • 00:52:08
    um
  • 00:52:10
    know what is the thing that you would
  • 00:52:12
    like to do for the rest of your life so
  • 00:52:15
    if you decide later that the thing that
  • 00:52:17
    you chose first is not the correct one
  • 00:52:19
    that's
  • 00:52:20
    okay that's fine yeah it's new wisdom
  • 00:52:27
    is there a format for making study plans
  • 00:52:29
    in slovakia um do you mean it regarding
  • 00:52:33
    the
  • 00:52:34
    program of your state that i mentioned
  • 00:52:36
    that you have to submit with your
  • 00:52:39
    application documents
  • 00:52:45
    uh there uh is not um for yes there is a
  • 00:52:49
    format there is the document for
  • 00:52:51
    download at our website
  • 00:52:53

  • 00:53:00
    submit with your application are there
  • 00:53:02
    uh in you know a format or
  • 00:53:05

  • 00:53:09
    do not know how to make them you can

    more on that so on
  • 00:53:42
    no worries
  • 00:53:51
    [Music]
  • 00:53:54
    oh yeah there's a question from hillary
  • 00:53:56
    arum here any suggestion for indonesian
  • 00:53:59
    who want to learn slovak language
  • 00:54:01
    uh example recommended language course
  • 00:54:03
    or what kind language test we should
  • 00:54:05
    take thanks
  • 00:54:07
    a language test depends on the
  • 00:54:09
    university some universities even do
  • 00:54:12
    their own
  • 00:54:13
    testing some
  • 00:54:14
    require
  • 00:54:16
    like some formal
  • 00:54:19
    tests
  • 00:54:20
    but
  • 00:54:22
    where should you
  • 00:54:23
    learn slovak
  • 00:54:24
    um for example in on our website you can
  • 00:54:27
    find a section that
  • 00:54:30
    that's named slovak language learning
  • 00:54:33
    and there you can find all the resources
  • 00:54:36
    and links to all the university courses
  • 00:54:39
    uh that you can apply to so for example
  • 00:54:42
    some courses are free of charge some are
  • 00:54:45
    paid and
  • 00:54:47
    well that's my advice you should go
  • 00:54:49
    there to the web page and
  • 00:54:54
    and you will have all the information
  • 00:54:55
    there
  • 00:55:00
    but most of the slovak bigger slavic
  • 00:55:03
    universities they offer language courses
  • 00:55:06
    in slovak language
  • 00:55:08
    in
  • 00:55:08
    even moreover now because way we have a
  • 00:55:11
    major influx of ukrainians to our
  • 00:55:14
    country due to the situation there so
  • 00:55:17
    there are now even more and more cars is
  • 00:55:20
    popping so
  • 00:55:27
    perhaps this is the last question
  • 00:55:31
    it is so interesting to know about how
  • 00:55:34
    we can take different majors from our ma
  • 00:55:36
    from our bachelor so let's say if i'm a
  • 00:55:39
    political science student for my
  • 00:55:40
    bachelor degree is it possible to take
  • 00:55:43
    psychology as the focus of my master's
  • 00:55:45
    degree
  • 00:55:46
    well as i said it
  • 00:55:50
    it is possible but you have to pass the
  • 00:55:54
    insurance exam that you have to prove to
  • 00:55:57
    the committee that you
  • 00:55:58
    you can
  • 00:56:00
    study the master's degree in psychology
  • 00:56:04
    um
  • 00:56:05
    it's me maybe more delicate in the areas
  • 00:56:08
    like medicine and so on because if you
  • 00:56:10
    want to study medicine it's not divided
  • 00:56:13
    into
  • 00:56:14
    major and bachelor it's a all medicine
  • 00:56:17
    course of six years so you can not um
  • 00:56:21
    start studying medicine in media srs and
  • 00:56:24
    psychology i think they would have
  • 00:56:26
    some entrance exams or some
  • 00:56:30
    exam online or
  • 00:56:32
    on site probably online
  • 00:56:34
    with you so you would prove to them that
  • 00:56:37
    you
  • 00:56:39
    would be able to follow
  • 00:56:45
    yep
  • 00:56:47
    thank you
  • 00:56:48
    or maybe maybe even um do some course
  • 00:56:51
    online on psychology you know that
  • 00:56:54
    for example in your application to the
  • 00:56:56
    university if you would come to study
  • 00:56:59
    full-time
  • 00:57:00
    you
  • 00:57:01
    show them that you are already based
  • 00:57:04
    somewhere in psychology
  • 00:57:06
    but it is possible um you just have to
  • 00:57:09
    pass the insurance exam like when you
  • 00:57:11
    get accepted for bachelor degree
  • 00:57:15
    then you have to do the same for
  • 00:57:16
    master's degree if you change your
  • 00:57:19
    study focus
  • 00:57:38
    okay
