What documents do I have submit after I am admitted and what is the process?  

To confirm that you have completed secondary education in your country and are able to study at the university level , you must send us (by post), your apostilled original End of Secondary School Certificate with final results (later only referred to as Certificate) document. Every country calls their Certificates differently; in English speaking countries, these are referred to as A-levelsAbirturprufung in German-speaking countries, etc. The important thing is that your secondary school leaving certificate corresponds with the European Qualification Framework level 4 and enables you to study at the university level

Note: The Certificate must be apostilled, translated and finally validated by the Ministry of Education in Slovakia, before you enrol/register for the academic year. 

The process for obtaining the Certificate validation

 1. Your Certificate must be apostilled/ superlegalized  in the (Certificate) issuing country. A government department usually issues the apostille – please check for details in the issuing country. 

 2. Once your Certificate has been apostilled, it will need to be translated into the Slovak language by an official translator  (subject to fees).

 3. When your apostilled and translated Certificate is received, the JFMED office will pass it for validation to the District Office of the Ministry of Education SR . The validation process can take up to 30 days and you will need to authorise us to act on your behalf (template will be provided). Please note that you have to sign this document in front of a notary public person in your home country and return it to the JFMED admission office by post.
