Faculty of Arts offers degrees (B.A., M.A., Ph.D.) in a wide range of disciplines in the field of social sciences and humanities. Currently there are about 4,000 students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts who pursue their studies in more than seventy different study programs. The academic staff of the Faculty of Arts consists of more than 250 professors, associate professors and lecturers.  Faculty of Arts has introduced a three-tier degree structure based on the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). In recent years Faculty of Arts has consistently attracted the largest number of study applicants among similar faculties in Slovakia, thus allowing it to remain highly selective when admitting students.

The entrance examinations are taken in the form of written tests. In recent years the Faculty has introduced a model of a uniform test focused on checking general abilities, skills and competence of candidates planning to study at a university of this type. In addition to general entrance tests, some study programmes require taking also specific tests to check competence and knowledge required for a specific study programme (e.g. language study).
