Comenius University in Bratislava (
philosopher
.
In 2020, Comenius University had more about 23,000 students and 2,500 faculty members.[2] As are most universities in Slovakia, it is funded mostly by the government.
History
The Comenius University was established in 1919 with assistance from the more established
high schools
.
In 1937, a new university building for the Faculties of Law and Philosophy was opened in the centre of Bratislava. The building includes the Aula (hall) used for graduation ceremonies and other formal functions.
During
Marxism-Leninism
at Czechoslovak universities. The Roman Catholic Faculty of Theology was taken under direct control of the Ministry of Education.
However, the university continued to grow, and new faculties were established (mostly by splitting the existing faculties):
- Faculty of Education in 1946,
- Faculty of Pharmacy in 1952,
- Faculty of Physical Education and Sports in 1960,
- Faculty of Medicine in Martin in 1969,
- Faculty of Mathematics and Physicsin 1980.
After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the university created a democratic self-government, and mandatory courses on Marxist ideology were abolished. The Roman Catholic Faculty of Theology and the Evangelical Theological Faculty joined the university.
The transformation of Slovakia into a market economy created a need for professionals in management and financial sciences. As a result, the university established the Faculty of Management (1991) and the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences (2002). In 2000, the
European credit transfer system
was implemented to improve student mobility and facilitate more ties with other European universities.
