Information about the Educational Center in Michalovce

In May 1994, a branch of the Educational Center in Michalovce was established by signing an agreement between the city of Michalovce and the Faculty of Business Economics of the Bratislava University of Economics and Business with seat in Košice. The opening ceremony in September 1994 was attended by representatives of the state, headed by the President of the Slovak Republic, and a few academic officials, headed by the rector of the university. The beginnings of the branch were not easy, but the enormous enthusiasm of the representatives of the city, district, faculty and employees of the branch has caused that we have been successfully implementing more than 30 years of teaching.

Teaching at the Educational Center in Michalovce is identical to teaching at the faculty in Košice.
