13 Natural Sciences Degree Programs in Slovakia

The aim of education in the field of Biology is to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge based on the current state of science. The graduate has comprehensive general knowledge in the field of Biology. He is able to apply knowledge and solve problems focused on basic biological research and practical tasks of applied biology.

A graduate of the bachelor’s degree study program Production Processes and Materials in the Mechanical Engineering field of study can orient himself in technical documentation and standards, he/she is able to search, summarize and evaluate the necessary information. He/she can solve research and development tasks in engineering production, cooperates in the development and application of new processes.

This program provides in-depth knowledge of biological theory and applied research practices. Students learn to design and conduct laboratory and field experiments, analyse and synthesise data, and apply their findings to solve biological problems.

Regions are changing. Be part of the change. Explore regions through the lens of identity, culture, history and geopolitics.

Deepening physical knowledge and integrating this knowledge into the educational process.

A graduate of the master’s degree study program Production Processes and Materials in the Mechanical Engineering field of study can characterize the properties and uses of traditional and progressive construction and tool materials.

Graduates of the chemistry study program are able to perform qualified technical work that occurs in various chemical, environmental and health research and operational facilities.

Our doctoral program in Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing (GIS & RS) links to the research and education expertise of the Institute of Geography, Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. The academic personnel and technology infrastructure of the Institute of Geography provides very favorable conditions to support the GIS & RS study. The ongoing and past research projects and published results provide evidence of our know-how and its scientific relevance.

The Ph.D. program in Theoretical Physics covers the research of physical properties of solid-state systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena in diverse magnetic systems, theoretical investigation of skyrmions, ab initio study of electron structures of new functional materials, investigation of developed turbulence, percolation phenomena and chemical interactions, applications of statistical mechanics in geostatistics and data reconstruction.

CEITEC PhD School is an innovative, interdisciplinary, fast-growing, and internationally-oriented programme based on a strategic partnership of leading universities and research institutes in the region that are part of the CEITEC research centre. Thanks to their cooperation, the CEITEC PhD School offers access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and training in an interdisciplinary scientific community.

The study program Condensed Matter Physics focuses on the predominantly experimental investigation of structural, transport and magnetic properties of various solid objects involving man-made structures and nanosystems attractive for studying fundamental physical phenomena and those with high application potential.

The Ph.D. program Discrete Mathematics is a research-based study program with an emphasis on two areas. Graph theory direction concentrates mainly on chromatic graph theory, the structure of graphs, topological graph theory, cycles in graphs, graph labelings, graph algorithms and applications of graph theory. The algebraic branch deals with universal algebras, lattices, and ordered structures.

Genetics is a scientific branch dealing with heredity and variation of organisms. Modern genetics is an essential and fundamental part of the majority of biological disciplines with a great impact on medicine, agriculture, food or pharmaceutical industries. Our Ph.D. program in Genetics is based on a systems-level understanding of biological processes and their regulation from cells and individuals to populations with an accent on evolutionary aspects.
