I really enjoyed the Data Science program at Comenius University - it teaches you everything you need to get started in the field. You learn all the basics, from essential algorithms and data structures to linear algebra, analysis, and statistics, in a very clear way. The program is well-structured, hands-on, and really prepares you for real-world work. Honestly, it’s the best Slovak program for studying Data Science, and I’d recommend it to anyone serious about learning the full foundation.
It's okay school, but there are of course better options. Some proffesors are nice, but most of them are not great. Overall score of Comenius University is highest in Slovakia though. Lots of international students.
