First steps for incoming students

Welcome to the Faculty of Arts, UCM in Trnava

Starting your studies abroad comes with many questions and new experiences. This section is designed to guide you through your first steps as an incoming international student at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava.

Here you will find essential information to help you prepare for your arrival, navigate administrative procedures, and settle into student life in Trnava. From accommodation and enrolment to practical tips about living in Slovakia, we aim to make your transition as smooth as possible.

The University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava is committed to the principles of internationalisation in line with the Slovak Higher Education Internationalisation Strategy 2030 and OECD recommendations. Our ambition is to be a modern, accessible, and high-quality university that provides education in line with international standards and actively contributes to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the European Research Area (ERA).

We support the development of global competencies of both students and staff through international mobility, internationalised curricula, digital forms of cooperation, and strong international partnerships. At the same time, we emphasize inclusion and equal opportunities, supporting also those who have fewer possibilities to participate in mobility abroad.

By doing so, we create a diverse and stimulating academic environment that contributes to the development of education, research, and society.

If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact our International Relations Department – we are here to support you throughout your stay.
