STU will decide on the recognition of educational documents only in the case that it has an accredited study programme in a matching or similar stud field to the one that is being recognized.
PBefore you submit an application, we recommend you take a look at the System of study fields in Slovakia, or the registry of accredited study programmes at Slovak universities, both of which may be helpful in finding out which university has studies closes to your completed education (at the very least comparing names of study programmes and fields).
