    The Matej Bel University closely monitors the situation in relation with the disease COVID-19

    In view of the evolution of the coronavirus infection COVID-19 in Europe and the intensity of mobility in the academic world, the management of the Matej Bel University has decided to issue the following measures for the students and staff of the Matej Bel University:

Students are obliged to inform the relevant study department of their absence from their classes.

     

    • Participation in missions and exchange programs (e.g. Erasmus) to Italy, the People's Republic of China, South Korea and Iran is suspended until further notice.

     

    • It is recommended not to carry out planned business trips and exchange programs in areas with confirmed occurrence of coronavirus COVID-19.
