What does ESN recommend?

  • The semester starts on the 28th of September. In a quarantine you will be for a minimum of 5 days, however, you can wait up to several days for your negative test results to come. That is why we recommend you to come to Slovakia and start your quarantine at least 14 days before school starts. If everything works out and you will get through everything sooner, you will have at least one week before the school starts to finally freely start to enjoy Banská Bystrica and your Erasmus.
  • Please keep in mind that the restrictions can change every day. We understand that it can be frustrating but remember, once we get through everything and be sure that together we WILL the best time of your life-Erasmus- will start and believe us, it’s gonna be so worth it.
  • In case of any doubt, contact your buddy who is always ready to help you and keep you updated!
  • follow the instructions made by Rector of UMB that are showed below

UMB will provide to its International Students for the mandatory 5 days of self-isolation (quarantine) which will end with the COVID-19 test.

Quarantine place: Students' Dormitory of UMB ŠD 5, Ružová ulica č. 15, Banská Bystrica.
The accommodation is organised in groups of 5 persons in one common accommodation unit.

The accommodation at Students' Dormitory of UMB is a paid service. The accommodation fee in the amount of EUR 169 is paid by the International Student at the arrival to the Students Dormitory to start the quarantine regime. The accommodation fee includes:

  • Accommodation in Students' Dormitory ŠD5,
  • All-day diet,
  • Cleaning services
  • Disinfection of premises
  • COVID-19 test,

You can start your 5 days of self-isolation (quarantine) in ŠD5 UMB in the following terms: 3 September 2020, 7 September 2020, 10 September 2020, 14 September 2020.

The International Student who decides to complete the quarantine and undergo a test for COVID-19 individually outside UMB will prove the negative test results for COVID-19 at the arrival for accommodation and at the enrolment for studies.

We recommend to use the UMB quarantine regime also for those UMB International Students who will not be accommodated in the Students' Dormitories of UMB in 2020/2021, but have secured another accommodation.
