2. The history of University of Prešov
Established in 1997- University of Presov
very young higher education institution.
The history of its faculties is much older and complex:
Greek-Catholic Theological Faculty (1880), Faculty of Arts (1959), Faculty of Education (1949) and Orthodox Theological Faculty (1950).

3. International Relations During the past few years, specifically since 2004, there has been a clear increase in student and teacher mobility,
there is a balance between incoming and outgoing students to and from PU. Nevertheless, these numbers are still low as compared to most European countries.
4. Problems in the area of internationalisation at University of Presov Financing of the Erasmus mobilities / according the obtained Erasmus financial support we can send only 0,5% of students for mobility every year
5. Problems in the area of internationalisation at University of Presov Administration of higher number of incoming students taps the money from university budget (we pay an extra money for teacher`s extra work - delivery of the moduls in English for Erasmus incoming students) instead of financial support of outgoing Erasmus students
What would be a way? We do not want to refuse the students who are interested in Erasmus at our university.
