The M. R. Štefánik Armed Forces Academy (AFA) will continue to cooperate with the Aviation Faculty at the Technical University in Košice in the academic year 2017-2018. For those interested, i.e. prospective professional soldiers, Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Master of Science (“Ing.”) courses will open in selected study programmes. On fulfilment of the eligibility criteria, students will be able to pursue their studies as cadets, ranked 1st Degree Private.
“The cooperation with the Technical University in Košice has proved its value and that is why we will go on with it. In practice, this means that future soldiers will be able to go through preparatory state service, even while studying at a non-military college. And so the Armed Forces will gain graduates in the niche military occupational specialities,” explained the Minister of Defence. The cadets' education will be delivered by the AFA in Liptovský Mikuláš in collaboration with the Aviation Faculty at the Technical University in Košice. In the academic year 2017-2018, this type of university education will be available in the full-time mode of study in the following study programmes: Air Transport Control and Professional Pilot as part of the Transport field of study; Sensorics and Avionic Systems as part of the Electronics field of study; and Operation of Aircraft as part of the Motor Vehicles, Rail Vehicles, Ships and Aircraft field of study.
Cadets will follow training for performance of temporary state service in the Officer Corps in the A20 MOS – Aviation (pilots and ATCs) and in the A50 MOS – Engineering Air Service (aircraft maintenance and operation). In parallel with their university studies, they will also undertake the Military Training Programme. Apart from all arms training, specialist military training, military training, internships with military units, this will also include flight training for those cadets training as pilots. Upon successful completion of their studies, cadets will be promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to positions across selected SVK Air Force units.
The studies, including flight training, will be financed from the defence budget. Cadets will be entitled to free accommodation, full board, military clothing and equipment, and monthly pay in the amount of the national minimum wage (€435 in 2017).
The deadline for submitting applications by those interested in the undergraduate university programmes is 28 Feb 2017, while the applications to participate in the selection process for Regular soldiers' state service must be submitted no later than 16 Mar 2017. For the graduate university programmes, the deadline for submitting applications is 31 Mar 2017, while the applications for the selection process to enter Regular soldiers' state service must be submitted no later than 21 Apr 2017.
