An integral part of studies in the study programmes of the third level at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava is the faculty-wide offer of elective courses for PhD students. This is updated for each academic year so that a student can enrol in several courses of his/her choice during his/her studies, especially in the 1st and 2nd year. In the preparation of this offer, emphasis is placed on interdisciplinarity and on the methodology of scientific work. More detailed information about the current offer, including information sheets, can be found in AIS2.

The information sheets for each course contain, among other items, the following:

-      detailed conditions for the completion of the course,

Students of the study programme of III. level Systematic Philosophy are provided with sufficient spatial, material, technical, and informational resources of the study programme, which are a guarantee for achieving the learning objectives and outcomes. The Faculty provides the teaching of the study program in the building on Gondova ulica 2, Múzejná ulica no. 10 and Šafárikovo námestie no. 6, where the Department of Philosophy and History of Philosophy and Department of Logic and the Methodology of Sciences are situated on the fifth floor.

The building on Gondova ulica has 54 classrooms with a capacity of 1,331 seats and an area of 1,953m². Recently, all classrooms have been modernized both technically and didactically and equipped with new equipment. Of the total number of classrooms, ten classrooms have a capacity of 65 to 120 seats, while the remaining classrooms have a capacity of 20 to 35 seats and are intended for teaching smaller study groups. Most of the classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and video projectors (detailed statistics on technical support and equipment for individual academic years are given in the annual reports of the Faculty). Each classroom has a port to connect to the internet. When creating the schedule for the following academic year, individual teachers participating in the implementation of the teaching of the study programme shall request the allocation of teaching spaces with installed information devices. The Faculty meets all the requirements in this regard.

On the faculty premises, there are computers available exclusively for students. Students can use computers and connect to the internet also in the Library of the Faculty of Arts CU and in the corridor in front of the Study department, where webkiosks are situated.

Comenius University in Bratislava cooperates with the Support Centre for Visually Impaired Students, which provides services in processing study literature and providing computer technology. In recent years, the Faculty has worked intensively on removing barriers from its buildings, which has greatly accommodated students with special needs (adjusted entrances to individual buildings and elevator access).

The expansion of physical activities offered for students and employees of Faculty of Arts CU in Bratislava is provided by the Centre of Physical Education and Sports Activities of the Faculty of Arts CU, which has several sports grounds at its disposal.

The literature listed in the course information sheets is available online, via MS TEAMS and Moodle (presentations, in some cases also manuscripts and unpublished university textbooks of teachers), or in the Library of the Faculty of Arts CU (hereinafter also referred to as "Library"). Literature in the Library’s holdings is searchable through the Library’s online catalogue, where it is possible to check the availability of individual copies. In case of an insufficient number of copies or need for acquisition of new literature, students and teachers may use the request/book proposal option. The Library also provides access to several external electronic resources.

The Library is the largest library and information workplace at Comenius University and it fulfils the function of an educational, scientific, and information workplace. The central workplaces of the Library are situated in the annex of the Comenius University on Múzejná ulica. Readers have access to a central lending library, a study room for textbooks, and a reading room for journals. During the semester, the library is open until 6 pm. A comprehensive reconstruction and modernization of the reading areas were carried out in 2009. The modernization of the premises has significantly improved the conditions for full-time study; the number of study spots in the study room has doubled (from the original 30 to 64), and the collection at hand for full-time study has been significantly expanded (from the original 3,500 books to 9,000). The construction modifications to the lending library have allowed for increasing the handling and storage space for outside-of-library borrowings, expanding the reading room for journals, and placing computers for students. All reading areas offer wi-fi connections, power sockets, and self-service photocopiers. The library stock consists of approximately 500,000 library units. Annual growth in recent years has been fairly stable, ranging from 7,000 to 9,000 library units. The Library subscribes to 249 journals; in addition to traditional print periodicals, library users have access to full texts of approximately 48,000 electronic journals and approximately 440,000 electronic books, which are available via the Comenius University Academic Library website. The library grants around 90,000 borrowings per year.

Students of the study programme Systematic Philosophy also have access to the reference library of the Department of Philosophy and History of Philosophy. The library is a part of the Library of the Faculty of Arts CU and contains a library collection of 4000 library units. The library has 10 places for studying, 1 PC for users and wi-fi connection.

The library of the Institute of Philosophy of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, v. v. i. in Bratislava and the Central Library of the Slovak Academy of Sciences are also available to students.

Handbook for students – (section 4.8 and 4.9) 

Students of the study programme are provided with access and support to participate in domestic and international mobility and internships. The International Relations Office assists students in this respect by providing administrative support and advice in student exchange programmes, internships, and promoting international mobility. The Erasmus+ Office at the Comenius University is available to students within Comenius University. The most significant share of student exchanges is accounted for by mobility under the Erasmus+ programmes, scholarships awarded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic on the basis of bilateral agreements, and scholarships under the CEEPUS programme (Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies). Mobility also takes place on the basis of other types of agreements: bilateral agreements between universities concluded at the university or faculty level, intergovernmental and international interdepartmental agreements in education (administered by the Slovak Academic Information Agency), the National Scholarship Programme, International Visegrad Fund scholarships, and individual scholarships. The position of the University and its faculties in relation to Erasmus+ mobility programmes at CU is regulated by the Internal Regulation of CU No. 3/2016 on the competence of CU and its faculties within the European Community Erasmus+ programme. In connection with the implementation of international mobility, the Faculty has established a system of recognition of courses and transfer of credits acquired at foreign universities (Article 19 of the Internal Regulation of Faculty of Arts CU No.11/2023, Study Regulations of Faculty of Arts CU).

The admissions committee assesses the abilities and aptitudes required for admission on the basis of the submitted dissertation project and the course of the admission examination. Information about the admission procedure is published on the faculty's website. 

The Admissions Committee applies a point system in the evaluation of applicants and uses a uniform procedure to ensure objectivity, fairness and equality of opportunity by using a uniform form of the admissions record, based on which the Dean decides whether the applicant shall or shall not be admitted.
