Education and the process of teaching in the sphere of ecology and environmentalistics at Slovak universities have not long tradition. At present the problem is the lack of professionals for teaching environmental disciplines in all stages of schools. In the last years at many faculties new study branches are opened, but the orientation is significantly different -- from teacher´s (widely oriented tendencies) up to narrowly specialized trends oriented to practical activity. Different study content and its flexibility enable to choose according to one´s own abilities and idea. The article gives a short survey of the situation in the study of ecology and environmentalistics at Slovak universities. The author gives also the character of the majority of study branches and profilation of their graduates.
