Study system and organisation
The credit system introduced in SUT has been implemented in all three degrees of university education at FMST SUT, in compliance with the law and accreditation within the defined standard length of study for both full-time and part-time study formats.
Degree 2: master studies, accomplished by gaining the academic title of engineer - Ing. (corresponding to MSc.)
All of the above mentioned programmes can be studied either full-time or part-time, or externally in the case of PhD study.
Interest in study
The Faculty has had quite stable interest in study within individual degrees. A decrease in the number of the students admitted and enrolled was due to a change in financing of universities by the Ministry of Education SR, and consequently the changed policy of the Faculty´s management policy.

(applicants, admitted, enrolled) within the last four years
Admission procedure varies according to the degree.
The admission procedure for the bachelor degree is based on the criteria of the applicant´s secondary school results, i.e. without entrance examination.
Besides the results from the bachelor degree, the admission procedure for the master degree considers the results of the entrance examinations in 3 profile subjects within the programme studied.

The number of fulltime PhD students (Tab. No. 2) is influenced by the financial policy of the Ministry of Education SR, where the number of scholarships allotted to a university is based upon the criterion of the university's achievements in research (domestic grants, foreign grants, internal PhD candidates having passed the dissertation exam, number of PhD graduates and a share of publication activity).
Study and teaching are guaranteed by particular institutes of the faculty. Every institute provides all three degrees of education.
Numbers of students at particular institutes are illustrated in Graph 4.

Study conditions
Regarding the premises and administration, the study conditions in the Faculty are favourable.We managed to improve access to textbooks by implementing the model of electronic textbooks available for all the Faculty students free of charge. Trying to meet the students' requirements, we introduced Saturday office hours in the Registrar's Office and the academic library. Regarding social policy, the study at the detached workplaces in Komárno, Dubnica nad Váhom and Nitra (the first year of bachelor and master studies) is quite significant.
Besides study, the students can be involved in institutional research activity either by participating in research projects and the Student Research Conference, or working as a research student-helper. The Student Research Conference provides the students of degrees 1 and 2 with a chance to get acquainted with research methods, to analyse a research task and articulate the attained research results in both oral and written forms, and to defend their opinion in a professional forum. PhD students can present partial results of their research projects in the International Doctoral Seminar, an annual event organized by the Faculty and attended also by PhD students of foreign universities and research institutes.
Besides the students of Slovak citizenship, there are also foreign students studying at FMST SUT. Unfortunately, the Faculty is failing to attract a higher number of foreign students, so their percentage is quite low so far.
QUALITY OF EDUCATION
Education efficiency and quality can be assessed by various criteria and parameters, such as placement rate of graduates, and the unemployment rate regularly announced by the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, SR. The fact that SUT is among the universities with the lowest unemployment rate is justified by the educational quality and interest of social practice in the SUT faculties' graduates.

The aim of the educational process is the training of graduates for their future profession. Its efficiency is measured by various methods, the most important of which is the method of feedback mapping of the students' opinions regarding the study contents, activities of the educational process implementation, study environment and teaching strategies. Besides this tool of educational quality improvement, the Faculty carries out a survey regarding the students' satisfaction with the aim to identify weaknesses in the education process, teaching strategies, as well as administration and organisation.
The students of FMST SUT have a chance (in accordance with the law on Universities No. 131/2002 statute) to participate in a survey via a questionnaire which was on the webpage of the faculty. The students of all study degrees could participate.
Together 324 students of all degrees, methods and study forms participated in the electronic student questionnaire of FMST SUT, what is 6,9% from all students.
These areas were in the questionnaire: process and organisation of the study, quality and professional behaviour of teachers, quality of teaching process, accomodation and others.
SOCIAL MATTERS
Accommodation and board are provided for students in the Student Hostel of M. Uher and the adjacent cafeteria and snack bars. Students mainly appreciate the quite high standard of comfort including free Internet connection, as well as availability of sports facilities such as the fitness centre, gym, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and softball and baseball fields directly on the campus.
Besides the above-mentioned facilities, students can take advantage of social scholarships and other bonuses such as the ones for study achievements and motivation, study loans and consultancy in the Career centre. All of this is considered when designing the time schedule, length of a training unit, arrangements of subjects, administrating the student agenda via AIS, PC connection, medical care and the possibility of arranging one's matters in the Registrar's and Academic library on Saturdays, etc.
As amended by law, the social system includes both enforceable and non-enforceable scholarships provided within the framework defined by the Act on Universities or internal University and Faculty legislation.
