respect the transfer and recognition of credits acquired during a mobility programme. A course taken at
the receiving University which is comparable in content and scope to a course taken at the sending
faculty and which the student takes as part of approved academic mobility will automatically be
recognized as completed (compulsory course, compulsory elective course, or elective course).
According to the Study Regulations of Faculty of Arts CU, Art. 17(1), the student has the right to apply
for a change of study programme within the same field of study at Comenius University, thus ensuring
the possibility of flexible study pathways. Subsequently, the Study Regulations of Faculty of Arts CU,
Art. 18, regulate the conditions for the recognition of studies and parts of studies completed in the
past, specifying both the length of the period and the level of assessment that allows the assessment to
be recognized.

students to transfer credits acquired while completing part of their studies at another higher education
institution in the Slovak Republic or at a higher education institution abroad (student mobility) in the
number of credits accumulated by the student pursuant to § 4(3) of the Decree on credit system study.

Students of the study programme of III. level Art Studies 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, where the Department of Musicology, Art History and Aesthetics
is situated on the second floor.
The building on Gondova ulica has 54 classrooms with a capacity of 1,331 seats and an area of 1,953m
. 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.
There are 3 audio and video kits, 4 Apple iMac student computers with accessories and note-taking
software (Sibelius), midi-Musical Instrument Digital Interface, midi keyboard (room no. 307). Teaching
within the study programme is performed in five classrooms, which belong to the Departments of
Aesthetics, Musicology and History of Art. All of them are equipped with a projection device (data
projector or interactive whiteboard), three of them also have an audio system and a piano.
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 Slovak Literature also have
access to the Library shared by the departments aimed at Slavic languages and cultures.

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 (Art. 19 of the Internal Regulation of Faculty of
Arts CU No. 5/2020, Study Regulations of Faculty of Arts CU).
