History

Education at the Bratislavska University (Bratislavska vysoka skola) started in 2004 when as the first private University of legal specialization accepted the first students at the Faculty of Law. In 2005, Faculty of Economics and Business was opened; the next opened ones were Faculty of Mass Media in 2007 and Faculty of Informatics in 2009. The youngest faculty of the school is the Faculty of Psychology established in 2011. Since 2010, the school has been called Pan-European University after the paneuropanism (European nationalism) concept, which was represented by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894-1972) in 1923. There was an announcement in 2015, the school would be taken over the Czech holding owned by Miroslav Kurka. Jan Carnogursky left the school in 2014, the school was owned by Russians. The school was supposed to struggle financial problems since 2013.[2]
