Information for students with special needs

The University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Košice offers studies at its five faculties and the Institute of Physical Education and Sport. The most modern laboratories and renovated barrier-free spaces of the university campus, located in the historical centre of Košice, are additional benefits for all our students. Whether you see your future in a lawyer’s gown, a doctor’s white coat, in a science lab, with a whistle on the playground, or are drawn to the world of philosophy or public administration, the path to your dream career leads through the gates of the second oldest classical university in Slovakia.

What’s next when the lectures and seminars are over? The city of Košice will captivate you with its metropolitan atmosphere and temperament, which you need to experience first-hand and preferably as a student. Cafés, concerts, theatres, film festivals, good food and wine… if you get tired of it all, you can recharge your batteries in the beautiful countryside nearby or in our own Botanical Garden.

True university life can only be experienced on campus, where lifelong friendships are made. From our student residences, it’s a short walk to school. We’re constantly upgrading them to 21st century standards.
The dormitories at Medická 4 and 6 (from 47 euros/month) are equipped with a canteen, cafeteria, common rooms and sports fields on the premises. The student dormitory at Popradská 66 (from 44 euros/month) mostly accommodates students of the Faculty of Public Administration, and foreign students can find their home at Popradská 76. For first year students we have accommodation in contract accommodation:

  • MEI Hostel, Kysucká 16 (from 74 eur/month)
  • Business Centre Pražská 2 (from 78 eur/month)
  • ŠD TUKE, Jedlíková (from 63 eur/month)

Our canteens keep up with the times and, in addition to traditional dishes, also prepare healthy vegetarian and vegan meals. To make sure you have it as close as possible to a cup of coffee and a snack during breaks, we have the Minerva café, which among other things provides space for student club activities, openings or meetings.
