The SVK MOD offers secondary school graduates free study at a military academy and two universities, with the aim of educating and training its officer cadre for the SVK Armed Forces. In the Academic Year 2018/2019 secondary school leavers can apply for study at the General Milan Rastislav Štefánik Armed Forces Academy in Liptovský Mikuláš, the Aviation Faculty of the Technical University in Košice, and the Faculty of Military Medicine of the University of Defence Brno, based in Hradec Králové. An attractive incentive is full scholarship, monthly pay in the amount of the minimum wage over the duration of the study, free catering, accommodation and military clothing and equipment.
The SVK Armed Forces Academy is ready to accept 124 cadets. Level 1 (BSc) Undergraduate Study is on offer in four programmes of management and technical specialisation. For the third consecutive year, the MOD plans to send 6 service members to attend Level 1 Undergraduate Study and 12 service members to attend Level 2 (MSc) Graduate Study at the Aviation Faculty of the Technical University in Košice. The Faculty of Military Medicine of the University of Defence Brno, based in Hradec Králové, in collaboration with the Medical Faculty of Charles University can offer military medicinal specialisations to 10 service members.
Those interested will pursue their studies as Service Members in the Preparatory State Service (PSS). To qualify for the PSS, the candidates must first be accepted for a specific study programme. The candidates must have a clean criminal record and be in excellent health condition, and both physically fit and psychologically resilient. On the one hand, they are eligible for full scholarship, including e.g. specialist training for flying and ground personnel and internships across military units, but, on the other hand, on completion of their studies they must serve as active duty soldiers for a period of, at minimum, 9 years.
More information on the university-level study programmes is available from the SVK Armed Forces Academyʼs website on www.aos.sk, and further information on the selection process and the entry criteria for Service Members in the Preparatory State Service (PSS) can be found at www.vojak.mil.sk.
