Why study at a private university?

We often encounter the opinion that studying at private universities is something inferior. That supposedly only those who were not accepted anywhere else study there. And of course, who knows what the quality is like. We disagree with this view and would like to dispel these misconceptions.

So, what about quality at our university?

The quality of studies at all universities—whether private, public, or state—is carefully supervised by the National Accreditation Bureau for Higher Education (NAÚ).

This authority is responsible for ensuring that all study programmes meet the conditions required for accreditation. If a university does not meet these conditions, NAÚ can revoke its accreditation.

We cannot speak for other universities, but we have recently undergone a demanding accreditation process. Thanks to this, we can offer you three specialisations within our bachelor’s programme: Taxation, Accounting, and Managerial Accounting & Controlling.

Only those who couldn’t get in elsewhere study at private universities

This is just another myth. At Sting University, you will find not only recent secondary school graduates and professionally experienced students, but also applicants transferring from other universities.

You may wonder why someone would transfer from a public university to a private one. The reasons vary, of course, but many of our students say that:

• they did not like mass lectures where they were afraid to ask questions. In worse cases, there was no time for questions at all;
• they did not enjoy the anonymous environment of a large institution;
• the timetable did not allow them to combine their studies with practical work.

They chose us because we offer teaching in smaller groups and a friendly atmosphere during lectures and seminars. Our students are not just anonymous numbers in an information system—they are colleagues.

We almost forgot about the timetable. We hope you won’t have anything to complain about.

Full-time students attend classes only 3 days a week (in semesters 1–3) and 2 days a week (in semesters 4–6). Part-time study takes place on weekends. The remaining time can be devoted to business, employment obligations, or internships.

And since we mentioned internships, we will tell you more about them next time. You may be surprised at what is possible at Sting University

Studying with us is certainly not inferior

And we have proof of that—our graduates. Among them are successful entrepreneurs, tax advisers, accountants, employees of public and financial administration, managers, and regional politicians. And four of them have successfully completed doctoral studies at public universities. And those were “just” Sting graduates.

Do not let prejudice hold you back—feel free to submit your application.
