The prerequisite for admission to the admission procedure for the Bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Science of the Pavol Jozef %šafárik University is successful completion of the matriculation examination from at least one of the required subjects of the matriculation examination.
Alternative to the matriculation examination in mathematics is passing the mathematics examination conducted by an authorized external assessor (https://www.scio.sk/nps/matematika.asp). An alternative to the matriculation examination in biology or chemistry is an examination in biology or chemistry conducted by an authorised external assessor (https://www.scio.sk/nps/biologie.asp or https://www.scio.sk/nps/chemie.asp).
An alternative to the matriculation examination in any of the above subjects for Ukrainian applicants for full-time studies with the Slovak language of instruction is passing an examination in the relevant subject assessed by an external independent assessor (http://osvita.ua/test/).

General information on the admission exam

Applicants are admitted to Bachelor's degree programmes in single-discipline and interdisciplinary studies. Interdisciplinary studies are bachelor's studies in two chosen disciplines, after which graduates may pursue a master's degree in teaching in two academic subjects corresponding to the interdisciplinary studies completed, or a master's degree in one of the science disciplines completed in the interdisciplinary studies completed.
The study programme in Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence is an interdisciplinary study in mathematics and computer science, and its graduates may continue at the master's degree level either in a follow-up study programme or in single-discipline study programmes in mathematics or computer science.
