Why We Recommend UPJŠ for Transfers
This isn't a sponsored opinion — it's what we've lived through with our own students and team.
How Transferring to UPJŠ Works
The official process, broken down into plain steps.
Transfers at UPJŠ go hand-in-hand with their normal admission. You take the same entrance exam as other applicants (we help you prepare for it and apply).
Send your signed Request for Transfer plus the supporting documents. The deadline is 15 August of that year.
At the same time, you apply for recognition of the subjects you already completed, so they count towards your UPJŠ degree.
The faculty management and the programme guarantor review your request and decide which courses are recognised and which year you'll join.
If the Dean accepts you, you'll be told your registration date and which courses were recognised. You bring a few final documents and begin your studies.
Key Deadlines
Documents You Need to Transfer
Everything to include with your transfer request.
All documents must be officially translated into Slovak or English. If anything is missing, the request won't be reviewed — so it's worth getting the checklist complete. We help you make sure nothing is left out.
Getting Your Previous Courses Recognised
So the studying you've already done counts — and you don't start over.
When you transfer, you can ask UPJŠ to recognise the subjects you already completed at your old university. The faculty compares them to the UPJŠ curriculum and decides which ones count and which year you'll join. In most cases transfer students only need to make up one or two semesters' worth of coursework — small differences between universities are completely normal.
Recognition Fee & How to Pay
A small fee applies for recognising your previous courses.
You pay a small fee to have your previous courses recognised — €2 for each subject, and never more than €15 in total. Keep the payment receipt; it's one of the documents you submit. Use the variable symbol 1027 (recognition of courses) and put your surname and name in the payment purpose.
Once You're Accepted
When the Dean accepts you, you'll get your registration date. Bring these to enrol:
