University of Economics in Bratislava (Slovak: Ekonomická univerzita v Bratislave) is the oldest university of economics in Slovakia.
The University of Economics in Bratislava (UEBA) is nowadays considered one of the most important educational and scientific-research institutions in the Slovak Republic. The UEBA is a public Higher Education Institution focusing on Economics, Business, and Management. It provides higher education in Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral programmes for full-time and part-time students. On the basis of the comprehensive accreditation of Higher Education Institutions in the Slovak Republic, which took place in the years 2008-2009 in compliance with the Act on Higher Education, the UEBA was included in the highest category of HEIs in the Slovak Republic, among “Higher Education Institutions of University Type”.
The University is located in Bratislava, the capital and largest city of the Slovak Republic.
The beginnings of the school date back to October 1940, when chambers of commerce and industry in the towns of Bratislava, Banská Bystrica, and Prešov established a "College of Commerce" (VOŠ in Slovak) which was given the status of a public school by the Government.
The need to establish a higher educational institution in Slovakia aimed at economics was called for owing to the fact that in 1939 some Czech higher educational institutions were closed, among them the College of Commerce in Prague, in which also Slovak students received economic qualification. The College of Commerce in Bratislava used that name till the end of the academic year 1944/1945. By the Decree of the Slovak National Council No. 34/1945, the school was nationalised and its name was changed to the Slovak College of Commerce. In 1949, it was renamed the College of Economic Sciences. The Governmental Decree No. 40/1952 altered its name to the College of Economics. The Act No. 292/1992 of 28 April 1992 changed the school's name again to the University of Economics in Bratislava.The beginnings of our school are connected with the names of some outstanding personalities, such as Prof. Dr. Juraj Hronec, Prof. Július Pázman, Prof. Vladimír Králiček, Prof. Dr. Ladislav Cicvárek. It was these mentioned enthusiasts who laid the foundations of learning in the field of economics in Slovakia. The College of Economics began its performance without premises of its own. The teaching process began in rented locations in various locations in Bratislava. Backed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bratislava, it managed to buy two buildings for the College of Commerce in Palisády Street.
Regarding premises, considerable improvements came in 1960, when the College of Economics moved to a new building belonging to Comenius University in Odbojárov Street. However, some workplaces stayed in the previous school premises in Palisády Street and Konventná Street. Nevertheless, the situation with premises continued being the number one problem, as the school had to make various changes in placing its workplacesʼ or to build new premises on the campus in Odbojárov St.
