The Pan-European University is located in the capital city of Slovak Republic, Bratislava<\/strong>. Although counted among the most recent to become capital cities in Europe, Bratislava shares a\u00a0history reaching more than 2000 years back in time.<\/p>

The city is located along both shores of the Danube river, the second longest river of Europe, under the southwesternmost edge of the Carpathian mountain range (called the Small Carpathians). I tis situated in a\u00a0very close proximity to Slovakia\u00b4s borders with Austria (to the west of Bratislava), Hungary (to the south of the city) and not far from the border to the Czech Republic either (in north-western direction from the city)<\/strong>. The approximate number of Bratislava\u00b4s inhabitants is 500.000.<\/p>

The first historic written mentioning of Bratislava appears in the year 907<\/strong>. In 1291 it has achieved (under the name Pressburg) its first unlimited privileges from the Hungarian king. In 1465 the first university on the territory of the current Slovak Republic was created, named Academia Istropolitana.<\/p>

In 1536, for almost 200 years, Bratislava has become the capital of the Hungarian Monarchy and as such the place of coronation for Hungarian rulers<\/strong>, the seat of the monarch, the archbishop and other official institutions of state<\/strong>. In this period, a\u00a0total of 11 Hungarian emperors were coronated in the St. Martin\u00b4s Cathedral of Bratislava (known under the Hungarian name Pozsony).<\/p>

In 1919 Bratislava has become part of the newly-established Czecho-Slovak Republic<\/strong>. After a\u00a0legal act of federalization of Czecho-Slovakia Bratislava became the capital of the Slovak Socialist Republic in 1968.<\/p>

From 1993 Bratislava serves as the capital of the independent Slovak Republic<\/strong>, following a\u00a0peaceful dissolution of Czecho-Slovakia. As such, the city is the centre of the state institutions, the public sector, as well as the economic, financial, cultural and educational focal point of the country<\/strong>. It is an important transportation hub, both at the crossroads of motorways and railways and as an important river city on the Danube. Bratislava has operates its own international airport, thus it is also situated in a\u00a0close proximity to the Vienna International Airport (45 km west of Bratislava), serving its need as a\u00a0both regional and inter-continental transportation hub.<\/p>

As a\u00a0centre of education Bratislava is the seat of 10 different public and private institutions of higher education.<\/strong><\/p>

Currently, Bratislava is considered to be one of the most dynamically developing cities, within one of the most perspective regions of Europe.<\/strong><\/p>
