University of Economics in Bratislava


The University of Economics in Bratislava is the oldest university of economics in Slovakia.

History

The university was established in 1940 as a private university under the name Vysoká obchodná škola v Bratislave, to serve Slovak students because of the closure of colleges and universities in the German-occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It was nationalized in 1945 and renamed to Slovenská vysoká škola obchodná. It was renamed in 1949 to Vysoká škola hospodárskych vied and once again in 1952 to Vysoká škola ekonomická. The current name has been used since 1992.
