In Translation and Interpreting (for example English language or Russian language) the level of Slovak language B2 is also expected, recommended  level is C1. Translating and interpreting is from a foreign language to Slovak language and vice versa.

The programme is aimed at studying Slovak language from the level A0. It is a bachelor degree study programme (3 years) and after the first term students will gain the level A2, after the second term – B2, the third and the fourth terms are aimed at C1 and the last two terms at C2.
