PAN EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY (PEU)

Pan European University (PEU), based in the capital city of Slovakia, was established in 2004 as the first private institution for higher legal education in the Slovak Republic. At present, it is offering University education by two faculties - the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Economy and Business. Its program comprises bachelor, master and doctorate studies. The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is fully applied to all courses offered.

Outstanding professors and legal scholars from the Czech Republic, from Austria, from Belgium, from Germany and also from the Russian Federation participate in the program, thus showing the international character of the BSL teaching staff. The courses are taught in Slovak, in Czech, in English and in German. Some 1,500 students are presently enrolled at the BSL (2006/2007).
