Comenius University in Bratislava is the oldest and biggest university
in Slovakia. It was established in 1919. Up to now, tens of thousands of
students have finished the university with academic degrees and it
became a truly national university with noted international recognition.
At the present time it has approximately 30 000 students studying in
various specializations and forms of study programs.
As part of the oldest, largest and most prestigious university in
Slovakia, the Faculty of Management at Comenius University in Bratislava
is the most recognized managerial and business school in the country.
Also, it has been several times awarded by Eduniversal Agency as an
“Excellent business school”. One of its key focuses is the
entrepreneurship research, entrepreneurial education and consultancy
activities for SMEs.
The mission of the Faculty of Management is to produce high-class and
competitive graduates who are able to work in teams or hold managerial
posts in various organizations. The knowledge the faculty provides for
its students is continuously growing and kept up to date thanks to its
own scientific research and development. Within its strategy, the
faculty declares its idea to continue in current development and
successful performance in the Management study program and, as an
integral part of the Comenius University, to contribute to development
of this "scientific university". A close connection between education
and science, together with valuable contacts with managerial practice is
seen as a successful way of enforcing trends in establishing a
knowledge society. Within the Management study program, stress is put on
analytical-synthetic techniques, communication skills and new trends in
managerial theory and praxis.
Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship is the national coordinator
for Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) project. The Department has
established and operates the Consulting and Development Center for
micro, small and medium sized companies. The Department also closely
cooperates with Slovak Business Agency (former the National Agency for
Development of SMEs), Young Entrepreneurs Association of Slovakia and
the University of the Third Age on various projects aimed at development
of entrepreneurial skills and management of microbusinesses.
Department is also actively involved in Comenius University Science Park
(CUSP). CUSP is primarily oriented on areas of molecular medicine,
environmental medicine and biotechnologies, but it provides space for
entrepreneurial activities through its science-business incubator. This
setup is a result of organic ecosystem involving private sector and
investment forum.
