International Cooperation

The Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of Košice (SvF TUKE) is a faculty that, since its establishment (1977), has been continuously expanding international cooperation with leading European and global institutions and organizations in the field of education, science, and research.

We perceive the internationalization of the faculty as one of the necessary prerequisites for increasing the scientific-research potential of the faculty and the quality of higher education at the faculty.

Part of supporting the development of international relations at SvF TUKE is the reception of foreign visits, delegations, and experts, which enriches not only the educational process of the faculty's students but, above all, contributes to the internationalization of science and research at the faculty.

We develop international relations at SvF TUKE primarily through bilateral and multilateral agreements aimed at obtaining and implementing international scientific-research projects, organizing joint scientific events, and presenting work results in the form of joint publications.

Students and employees of the faculty who are interested in studying abroad can take advantage of a wide range of mobility options through the Erasmus+, IAESTE, SAIA, CEEPUS, Fulbright programs, or they can complete a foreign stay based on international bilateral agreements, or use opportunities within other mobility and scholarship schemes and programs.

The mutual exchange of students and employees between university workplaces is a source of new knowledge and experience and develops the language and intercultural skills of students and employees of the faculty.

Ulysseus is an international, world-open, human-centered, and entrepreneurial university that will shape the future of Europe.

"European Universities" are transnational alliances that shape the universities of the future, promote European values and identity, and revolutionize the quality and competitiveness of European higher education.

The "European Universities" initiative was jointly created by higher education institutions, student organizations, member states, and the European Commission.

The coordinator of the alliance is the University of Seville (Spain).

TUKE is a proud member of the Ulysseus alliance.

Ulysseus has eight member universities.

Mobility within the Erasmus+ program has a positive impact on educational, social, personal, and professional development.
