History of the University stretches back to 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, when the bishop of J\u00e1ger diocese Benedict Kishdy founded an Academy in Ko\u0161ice. In 1660 the emperor Leopold I. issued the Golden Bull and herewith he dignified the Academy in Ko\u0161ice to University. Theological Faculty, Philosophical Faculty and Faculty of Law can be found during the existence of Universitas Cassoviensis. Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice was founded in 1959, as a successor of the academic traditions related to the higher education at University in Ko\u0161ice. University\u2019s academic and historical continuity was definitely accepted also by Act No. 361\/1996 of the Law Code and on it\u00a2s basis the University has been divided into Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice and the University of Pre\u0161ov.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">In case that tactics of survival of the University (proven as stagnation of the University in several fields, including its organisation chart) was the priority of the strategy in the period from year 1997 (period after splitting the former UPJ\u0160), the present period must be understood by the University as a phase of development of its organisation structure. In this meaning, it is necessary to prepare more ambitious development programmes, which should create in the near future basic pillars of dynamic strategy of organisational-institutional units of the University.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice is in present time composed of Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Law and Faculty of Public Administration, which educate doctors, specialists in natural science, mathematics and informatics, teachers, lawyers and specialists in the field of public administration. Graduates of this second oldest classical Slovak University have good reputation in the Slovak Republic and also abroad. The main mission of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice\u00a0 (hereinafter the \u201cUniversity\u201d or \u201cUPJ\u0160\u201d)\u00a0 is to provide the three-level higher education on the basis of latest scientific knowledge in wider international context, according to European trends in this field, according to Bologna Declaration and other documents. The University accomplishes this mission by development of harmonic personality, its sciential bloom, rise of wisdom and personal creativity. The University leads the students to tolerance, ability of critical and independent thinking, right self-esteem and national pride.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University provides public service by knowledge dissemination through research and development, support of regional and national activities and providing of the further education of citizens.

University will organise higher education with aim to educate experts in health care, education, science and research, law, public administration and other society practice spheres. Providing higher education will be realised on the basis of the latest scientific knowledge with emphasis on international co-operation. The goal of this effort is development of complex harmonious personality through symbiosis of expert knowledge, language skills and ability to use the modern information and communication technologies. The University will take care of further education of graduates focused on actualisation and extension of their knowledge according to their interests, preference and opportunities of their social assert on the labour market. The University will also exercise its influence upon the labour market through wider range of study programmes.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will create conditions to ease the access to higher education with aim to enable more students to study at the University. Regarding this the University will offer attractive study programmes, which will be innovated according to requirements of social practice and will be adapted to the newly set European labour marker conditions. For this purpose the University will create conditions for appropriate qualifying structure of the employees, working in the field of education and science. The University will provide students with higher education in all three levels of study on the qualitatively comparable level as provided by prominent European and world Universities.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University has preconditions to almost double the number of students (approximately 10.000) comparing to present number in all forms of study till 2010. This considerable increase of number of students will reflect the growing number of students in the existing study programmes and opening of study in the new accredited study programmes, on the basis of which the new Faculties will be found. Besides this, accreditation and realisation of the new study programme is in progress in the field of dental surgery, according to EU-TAIEX expert committee criteria, as put under the contract by Ministry of Education of SR and Ministry of Health Care of SR. Besides the full-time study, it is expected to offer the new study programmes also in form of distance study. This presumption of growth of the number of students in all levels of study requires the effective use of current and creation of new necessary material, area, personnel and financial conditions.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice seeks to improve the study not only by introducing the new teaching technologies, but also by drawing up the new modern study programmes. The interdisciplinary character of the study, represented by wider co-operation between particular study programmes, has significant support. The basic precondition to fulfil this goal is gradual increase of teacher\u00a2s and university research employee\u00a2s competence level and together with simultaneous reduction of their age structure in all categories. The creation of unsound age structure of teachers at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University started in the beginning of University\u2019s foundation in the 60\u00b4s of the last century. It is therefore necessary to ensure in the present times both the regular representation of all generations working at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice and to reduce the age limit for conferment and professorship.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will systematically take care of integration of the credit system study to the higher education at the University. The University will continue with implementation of the conclusions of Bologna Declaration into the higher education with respect to the speciality of some study programmes, for example \u201claw\u201d and doctoral study programme of general medicine and dental surgery, which will be in the near future realised as the bachelor\u00a2s, master\u00a2s eventually doctor\u2019s study as joint form except for the bachelor study programmes oriented to the needs of practice.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice puts special emphasis on the PhD. study programmes. Realisation of these study programmes will be therefore continuously supported in the future with the effort of qualitative and quantitative development, improvement of interdisciplinary co-operation contacts and financial support of joined research. It is necessary to view these programmes not only in national, but also in wider international context. Special accent shall be put on development of PhD. study programmes joint with other universities and scientific institutions, mainly with the institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.<\/div>\n<div>One of the University\u00a2s priorities is the creation of conditions for more effective and wider mobility of the students. The University will support student\u2019s mobility not only within the Faculties of the University, but also within Slovak universities, in particular in the European higher education area. Strategy of the University is to reach the state, where at least half of the students of master\u00a2s and doctor\u2019s study studied during at least on semester at the foreign university. Student\u00a2s and Teacher\u00a2s Mobility Fund, founded as support and motivation tool should be helpful in extending the international relations of the University in the field of study programmes implemented at the University and scientific, research or other creative activities within the approved projects and programmes at University. The source of the Student\u00a2s and Teacher\u00a2s Mobility Fund will be annually detached finance from the University budget, eventually finance from other sources (finance gained as a gift from the domestic and foreign physical and legal persons and part of the finance gained from commercial activities).<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will pay appropriate attention to provide the students with the access to intranet and internet. During the years 2004 \u2013 2005 the University will provide the access to Internet to all its students accommodated in the University residence halls.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will endeavour to improve social conditions of its students. The University perceives the quality improvement of student\u00a2s social conditions mainly as an improvement of student\u2019s accommodation opportunities, including aesthetics of the accommodation premises, canteen conditions and also enlargement of opportunities for sport activities. The University will continuously support existing club activities and will create conditions for leisure activities, etc. in the future.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will create conditions to establish the registration information system with students database (students register), which will become an important source of information about the structure of students at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice on the university level, useable also for UPJ\u0160 management, data retrieval concerning information about the employment of graduates and information for keeping up the contact with University graduates.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University took measures in order to guarantee each student the possession of identification card since the academic year 2004\/2005. This identification card will authorise the student to enter the University premises, but will be used also as an accommodation, canteen and library card and also as a confirmation for possible use of discounts in public, bus or railway transport.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><em>The University sees the future, in compliance with European Union<\/em><em>\u00a2<\/em><em>s programmes, in development of combined types of study and in lifelong learning programmes. Within them, Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University provides various types of complementary, extension, specialised studies and the wide offer of professionally or interest oriented courses. It will be necessary to use newly introduced modern educational technologies particularly in these new activities.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The universities are the most important educational institutions, which provide education on the basis of creative scientific research. The main objective <strong>in the field of science and research<\/strong> is to adapt the University to the requirements of national and international environment. The University has 7 accredited study programmes of bachelor\u2019s study (Faculty of Law and Faculty of Public Administration have no bachelor study for now), 11 study programmes of master\u2019s study and 2 study programmes of doctor\u2019s study at the Faculty of Medicine. Besides this, the University has 25 accredited PhD. study programmes, guaranteed by professors, eventually doctors of science (9 at Faculty of Medicine, 14 at Faculty of Science and 2 at Faculty of Law). Accreditation of further PhD. study programmes in the future should be the guarantee that our University is able to compete in the field of science and research with other higher education and academic institutions. University\u00a2s intent is to accredit progressively new interdisciplinary PhD. study programmes, which will respond to the requirement of social practice.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>By the complex accreditation of it\u00a2s activities, the University will devote all its efforts to be categorised to research universities according to paragraph 2 article 16 of Act number 131\/2002 of the Law Code.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>In the field of science and research the University acknowledges the <em>scientific research freedom<\/em>. Despite this fact, nothing prevents the University from setting direction of scientific research at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice. The concrete directions of scientific research were consulted and approved by the Scientific Boards at particular Faculties of the University.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The University will concentrate its effort in the field of science and research on:<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quality and efficiency increase,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Support of Inter-disciplinarity and integration at the University,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Emphasis on international scientific projects acquirement,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Support creation of University\u00a2 centres of excellence,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Young research employees support,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Creation of conditions for the founding of new PhD. study programmes,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Motivation of the grant projects solvers,<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strengthening participation and responsibility of the Club of Professors for tendency of science at Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University.\u00a0 Club of Professors was founded on 18<sup>th<\/sup> November 2003 within the autumn part of Academic Days of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice at the 1<sup>st<\/sup> professor\u00a2s seminar, organised by the University management. Apart from participation in the scientific tendency of the University, the Club of Professors will organise professorial lectures within the professorial seminars at the University.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Progressive unification of inaugural process criteria and criteria of assigning the professors functional positions.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Establishment of auto-evaluation system of all University\u2019s units as a precondition for evaluation on national and international level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The third strategic strategy of the University is the <strong>strengthening of international dimension<\/strong> of University\u2019s activities. This strategy becomes especially topical particularly concerning the accession of the Slovak Republic to European Union and integration into the European higher education area. Breaking the barriers among the universities, in the past represented by the borders, must necessarily appear also in the improvement of the co-operation in the field of joint scientific projects realisation, joint higher education projects, international students, teachers and researchers mobility, joint diploma issue and creation of conditions for foreign students study, etc. In this context, the University wants to co-ordinate the study with EU Member States through participation in EU Programmes, such as Socrates\/Erasmus, CEEPUS, Leonardo, etc.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\"><em>The University intents to enlarge own network of partnerships with other Universities also abroad.<\/em> <em>It is the basic prerequisite of gaining current information and experience from pedagogical and scientific area. International dimension is viewed by the University also as a significant stimulus for acquainting and comparing the national cultures, customs and traditions in direction of more natural understanding of the respective national identity. With deepening and development of international dimension there is closely connected the exchange, potentially mobility of students, teachers and research employees.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The aim of the University is to enable the Master, Doctor and PhD. students to spend part of their study at one of actively co-operating foreign Universities and vice versa. Besides mobility in the framework of these programmes, participation of our University is expected in other European activities aimed at evaluation of the quality of education, mutual comparison of the study programmes, etc.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">International dimension of activities of our University reaches not only European states, but also overseas, potentially some Asian states. These links within the international relations must be completed in the following conception:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Natural basis of UPJ\u0160\u00b4s international relations will remain the institutional character partnerships with Universities and research centres in Europe. Besides broad co-operation with German Universities and Universities in Poland, it is necessary to profile comparable co-operation particularly with Universities and scientific institutions in Czech Republic, Spain, France, Finland, Austria, Italy and United Kingdom. Broader co-operation should be developed in the framework of and Carpathian Euroregion;<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Extra-European partnerships have to be established on selection requirements, coming out from disciplinary priorities and financial possibilities of the University. The most attractive are North and South America (USA, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Brasilia), Asian Near East (Israel), Far East (China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea);<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Bilateral relationships with foreign Universities have to be found on\u00a0 long-term framework agreement and short-term co-operation programmes, emerging from the needs and interests of particular Faculties;<\/em><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Mutual benefit has to be implemented in relationships with foreign partner Universities.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">In 2004 the University became a full individual member of European Universities Association (EUA). This initiative has enabled possibilities for equal participation of the University in creation and implementation of European higher education policy. Full membership in EUA creates conditions for mutual comparison of the level of education and international evaluation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">One of the strategic intentions of University\u2019s development is also strengthening of its position among the cultural and educational institutions of the Slovak republic and by the general public. One of the ways to achieve this goal is to provide the <strong><em>public services<\/em><\/strong>.

At the same premises there takes place the reconstruction of Faculty of Science premises, reconstruction of cellarage premises in the buildings of Faculty of Law and investment plan on reconstruction of part of Detached Unit of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ro\u017e\u0148ava is semifinished.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Some of University Units reside in buildings, owned by different owner. Additionally, to fulfil development aims, the University necessary needs further premises.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">University will set priorities in this area, which will be followed by further reconstruction and renovation of its buildings and premises and gaining new premises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Progressive reconstruction of Halls of residence at Medick\u00e1 Street 4, 6 is being assumed (reconstruction of distribution networks, exchange of windows, modernisation of indoor equipment, etc.) and gaining further premises for this purpose.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">It is counted on with progressive concentration of premises for part of Faculty of Science at Angelinum \u2013 Jesenn\u00e1 Street, which shall demand complex reconstruction of historical building Angelina with aim to use also its cellar and loft premises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">In case of continuing problems connected with renting the premises for Faculty of Medicine, it will be necessary to look for solution to relocate part of Faculty of Medicine to different premises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Concerning Faculty of Law, it will be necessary to create appropriate space conditions for the newly-established European Law Institute and conditions for using the loft premises as a lecture hall for approximately 350 students in the building at Kov\u00e1\u010dska Street 30.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University will go the extra mile to gain new premises for new Faculties, which it aims to establish.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Concerning the emergency conditions of the roof at M\u00e1nesova Street, its expected to rebuild it to gable roof type and to create there loft premises.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Concerning the objectionable premises of Academic Library at Garbiarska Street, the University will consider its relocation to more appropriate premises. It is also expected to relocate Department of languages in connection with establishing the new Faculties. The University will consider reconstruction of present premises of Department, which could be used as housing facility for PhD. students, young assistant lecturers and research employees.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">One of the measures concerning the University property maintenance is the elaboration of property pasportisation, which will show not only the current state of University\u2019s property, but also further indicators, such as debt and liabilities overview, supply overview, energy expenses overview, etc.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Act No. 131\/2002 Coll. besides the change of organisation-legal form of the University to \u201cPublic University\u201d introduced the <strong><em>multi-source financing <\/em><\/strong>of public universities. The basic financial source to finance University\u2019s needs became the state budget subsidy provided on the basis of Agreement between Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic and our University. Its purpose is to finance the implementation of accredited study programmes, research and development activities, development of the University and social welfare support of the students. Considering that amount of subsidy depends on number of students, number of graduates, economic costingness of realised study programmes and on integration of the University, the University shall pay permanent attention to trends and criteria for state subsidy distribution.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The implementation of multi-source financing system means, that state subsidy does not cover all University\u2019s activities, which has to gain certain part of means for its activities from extra-budgetary sources. The University will use particularly possibilities, provided by various domestic and international grant agencies. Another significant source of financing will become increasing number of foreign self-payer students. Another source of financial means should become in higher extent enterprise activities efficiently using the expert and space potential of the University. On the basis of property state analysis, optimising of its structure and efficient use also for enterprise activities will be proposed. More effective use of possibilities, provided by foundations, sponsor activities and donations, but also effective co-operation with bank institutions is being expected.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Essential prerequisite for more effective use of multi-source financing of University\u2019s needs is the elaboration of University enterprise rules and criteria for distribution of\u00a0 budgetary and other financial means to Faculties and other University units.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>4. <\/strong><strong>Development of the University and its organisation structure<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">University management will from now on develop the existing Faculties:<\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:small\">Faculty of Medicine<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Transformation of teaching hospitals to University hospital is development priority of Faculty of Medicine. It will be a process, which result will be integration of these subject to University. It will be a time-consuming process with continuing present state of double-portfolio. Double-portfolio per se is the source of majority of the problems at the Faculty of Medicine and it increased by \u201chealth-care\u201d reform, implemented in Ko\u0161ice. More complicated situation emerged. The University will intensively join decision-making of this problem and will take the initiative to improve present state and preparation and realisation of transformation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University will create conditions to provide specialisation study in the field of medicine following the Act No. 528\/2003 Coll. , which amended the Act on Higher Education.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Medicine in co-operation with Faculty of Science will participate actively in preparation of enlargement and further use of Detached Unit in Ro\u017e\u0148ava in Bachelor\u2019s study of higher education in Nursing study programme.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Medicine\u2019s priority is the foundation of morphological unit at \u0160rob\u00e1rova street 2, to create conditions to organise demonstration and dissection courses of surgical disciplines. These courses should be in the future a source of extra-budgetary incomes.<\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:small\">Faculty of Science<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Completing the spectrum of natural-science disciplines by accrediting geography one-discipline study and accrediting new study programmes emphasising the interdisciplinary and PhD. Study is the main priority of Faculty of Science.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Science will actively participate in co-operation with Faculty of Medicine on building up the Detached Unit of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ro\u017e\u0148ava. The offer of attractive study programmes will create characteristics of Detached Unit, so it may become the basis for new Faculty of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">One of Faculty of Science\u2019s priorities is to solve the premises problem. It requires the reconstruction of loft and cellar premises at Park Angelinum and loft premises of the building at M\u00e1nesova Street 23 and continuing space concentration of the Institutes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">It is also expected to complete the infrastructure in the field of instrumental and material equipment for educational and research purpose.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Science will participate in EU projects focused on improving the labour force qualification and environmental protection in the region.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Science\u2019s priority is to set up in e-learning trends determination by preparation and providing the accredited education programmes and courses for teachers, employees of state administration, self-government and business entities. It will promote using modern information technologies within education and by transfer of information, for example by videoconference transmissions.\u00a0<\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:small\">Faculty of Law<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h1>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Law shall more significantly co-operate with other Faculties of Law, but also with Faculties of our University, particularly in introducing the new study programmes, which should represent some interdisciplinary character of education, for instance the Medical Law, Pharmaceutical Law, Veterinary Law, Information Technologies Law, Public Administration Law, etc.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">One of the priorities of the Faculty of Law will be the closer connection of the theory and the practice in the legal profession, particularly by way of founding the clinics of Civil Law, International Law, Commercial Law, etc. The law must be viewed in broader practical use, than it is viewed now.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Law intends to develop more significantly also the third level of higher education. Besides the Constitutional Law and Administration Law, already accredited as PhD. fields of study, practical conditions for accreditation of further study programmes have been created in the field of Civil Law, Criminal Law, Theory of State and Law, Commercial Law, Financial Law and Tax Law.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\"><em>By Slovak Republic\u2019s accession to the European Union, the new task for the Faculty of Law emerges in the field of EU Law and approximation of the Slovak Law with the EU Law. With this purpose it seems topical to establish a European Law Institute.<\/em><\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:small\">Faculty of Public Administration<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Faculty of Public Administration considers its main aim to complete the infrastructure from the view of ensuring the study in the field of Public Administration and its further development. The priority is the transition to credit study system and accrediting all three levels of study in the field of Public Administration. From the long-term point of view it is necessary to ensure, that Public Administration study will meet conditions of the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation. The Faculty will be ready for obtaining the EAPAA accreditation in 5 years.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The question of widening the scale of the Faculty has a strategic character. The objective is to gradually obtain the accreditation of new study programmes in the fields related to Public Administration and its branches, potentially comprising the interdisciplinary basis of Public Administration. The Faculty can actively participate this way in development of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in the field of social sciences. <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Concerning international relations, the Faculty will aspire to get involved in the \u201cEuropisation\u201d of Public Administration Academic Programmes project, activities of organisations associating the schools of Public Administration in the European Union (EPAN, NISPAcee) and participation in EU projects.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University constantly considers the Faculties segmented to smaller, professionally compact and flexible educational and research units (institutes, departments, laboratories), promisingly with university-wide field of activity in the way compatible with the EU Universities structure, as the basis of its internal structure.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">From perspective of the higher education structure in the city and region, the University will preferably aim at strengthening its position by orientation to the high-quality, efficiency, competitiveness and universality. Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice does not consider efficient the projects of uniting the institutions of higher education to heterogeneous wholes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">For future period the University has to elaborate more ambitious development plans, which will become the basis for dynamic development of organisation-institutional units of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The basic way to stabilise the structure and level of the University is to found the new Faculties particularly with humanistic subject field, to provide the university, broad-spectrum, expert, as well as humane education.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University must stabilise its structure by building the new Faculties. The new accredited study programmes will become the basis for their foundation. The vision of the University is to found new Faculties focusing on education of pedagogues and experts in the field of humane and economic sciences before 2010.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">Besides development of the existing Faculties and foundation of the new Faculties, the University has to pay much more attention to University work positions, such as University Library, Botanical Garden, Publishing house, etc. One of the basic priorities of the University is the progressive transformation of the University Library to modern academic library with emphasis on the access to electronic databases and improving the premises conditions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The University will carry out transformation of Botanical Garden, Publishing House and garage to university work positions yielding a financial profit for the University. In this context, particularly the Botanical Garden and the Publishing House have to elaborate and implement projects of their transformation to self-supporting internal university units, which will moreover produce appropriate financial sources for the University.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">The following legal acts and other documents were the basis for elaboration of \u201cLong-term strategy of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice for period 2004-2010 (hereinafter the \u201cLong-term Strategy of UPJ\u0160\u201d):<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">1.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Act No. 131\/2002 of the Law Code on Higher Education and on Changes and Supplements to Some Acts with later Amendments<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">2.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Act No. 132\/2001 of the Law Code on Science and Technology,<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify\">3.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Act.
