History

The Institute of Measurement Science, Slovak Academy of Sciences (IMS SAS) has been the training institute for PhD study and the seat of the commission for conferring scientific degrees in the study program “Measurement Technology” since 1962.
In 1985, the Institute was authorized to conduct PhD studies in “Bionics and Biomechanics.” After the new Education act in Slovakia was accepted in 1996, in a new structure of study fields the Institute participated in the study programs “Measurement Technology” (in collaboration with Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava) and “Bionics and Biomechanics” (in collaboration with Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University in Košice). This education was conducted during the validity of the Education Act until 2010. Since March 2006, the Institute has been accredited as an external educational institution of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, to conduct full-time and external study in the program 5.2.54 „Measurement Technology, “ and it was reaccredited in 2009 and 2016 for the next period according to the Education Act.
