International cooperation with scientific-research institutions around the world is a high priority for STU including joint projects within the EU framework.

Foreign students enjoy modern facilities and equipment and staff are also on hand to advise them how best to use their free time. Despite the massive recent increase in international student recruitment, there are still a number of spaces available for well-qualified students, especially for those who are self-financed and who come from countries outside the European Union.
