The Slovak University of Agriculture operates since 1952 in the ancient city of Nitra, and from the beginning the university was destined to be a centre of agricultural education, research and development in Slovakia in the priority area of human activity – sufficient production of safe and wholesome food in harmony with environmental protection, the conservation of biological diversity and sustainable development. Achieving comprehensive accreditation in 2009, SUA ranked among higher education institutions of university type. In 2010, as the first university in Slovakia, SUA was awarded the prestigious ECTS Label by the European Commission for the provision and implementation of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System for student mobilities. The name Green university has become a part of the identity of our university. At its six faculties SUA offers a wide range of study possibilities not only in the field of agriculture, but also biology, economy and technical sciences. This paves the way for the graduates in various areas of the economy. The content structure of higher education and scientific research at our university covers the functions of the agro-food sector, in terms of sustainability of production and quality of food (technology and biotechnologies) but also eco-environmental terms (agro-ecology) and social status of society (economics, renewal and rural development , country culture, agro-design). (Dr.h.c. prof.
