After graduating from a bachelor’s programme, a graduate can get a job in their field of study, but the salary of a bachelor, as compared to an engineer or a master’s degree, will be different. Having graduated from Master’s programme, a graduate becomes a qualified specialist and has a good chance of finding a more prestigious and well-paid position within the EU.

Every year all Slovak universities organize “job fairs”, where students and their prospective future employers have the opportunity to get acquainted and students have the opportunity to choose a company that interests them for employment. For many Slovak companies, students are a real asset, as a young, progressive professional will not only bring new ideas but will integrate more quickly into a new team, not to mention the speed of learning something new, so finding a job is not difficult.

Salaries in Slovakia are slightly lower than in other EU countries, but so is the living cost. Average salaries in Slovakia vary by industry. A higher income is paid to graduates in the following areas:

• high-tech sphere;
• financial;
• medical;
• law.
