Akademia & VAPAC - Education & Career Fair 2012

The Akademia Higher Education Fair was founded in 1997 upon popular and social demand, and as the name of the fair indicates it is oriented to the secondary school students and the future secondary school graduates, respectively to those who are looking for information on further study at home in Slovakia and abroad. The older students can also find relevant information since the higher-education system gives possibilities to study at various higher education institutions simultaneously, or to study and focus on a scientific career.

Reasons to Attend

The international fair is aimed at students and graduates of secondary schools or higher education institutions, which are looking for information about study offers at universities. The Akademia Higher Education Fair has become highly popular among students, evident from an annual visit rate exceeding 10,000 students from all over Slovakia, from the east to the west.
