British Council Slovakia

The British Council has been working in Slovakia since 1946, when it was originally called the British Institute. However the office closed in 1950 due to a change in the political system and did not re-open until 1992, in a new location at Bratislava’s Old Town in Panska 17. 

Since it was established it has: 

  • assisted thousands of English teachers to develop new and innovative teaching methods
  • partnered and organised many cultural and educational events and programmes
  • brought together numerous schools, institutions and professionals.
  • helped over 50,000 students taking International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Cambridge and other exams
  • improved the level of English to thousands of students
