QUESTION: Hi Sam,

I'm an engg drop out, i am planing to do my engg in Slovakia as i already got a job there. Can you please refer some low cost universities where i can get my bachelors degree in engineering ?

Please send me an email

Thanks Raj




ANSWER: Hi Raj,

first of all, I can't reply to your email address directly, because the system would then complain that I haven't answered your question yet. But you will probably get a notification on your email. So much for that.

All the major unis in Slovakia are state unis and are for free. However, if you want to study in a language other than Slovak, you will probably have to pay tuition. I really don't know how much that is.

I would recommend you to contact the universities. The two major (and best) ones are:
- the Slovak Technical University (http://www.stuba.sk/new/generate_page.php?page_id=132)
- the Technical University in Kosice (http://www.tuke.sk/tuke?set_language=en&cl=en)

I hope that helps.

Sam

QUESTION: Sam, thank you for taking time to answer my question.

I also wanted to know if I could do a job (Full time) and study Engineering at the same time ?

Are their any restrictions ?

Answer
Hi Raj,

I think you need a different kind of visa (or a work permit) to work in Slovakia. For studies, you probably don't need the work permit, so it may be easier to get.

I have to say I am not a law expert. If you need to be sure about this, you had better contact the Slovak Embassy in India, I am sure they will be able to tell you all the details.

I hope this helps.
