Abstract

Globalization includes transnational political, economic and cultural ideologies and values. Globalization has a significant impact on education as new positions can enter higher education and study abroad. The influx of foreign students in Slovakia increased significantly. Therefore, successful interaction with the school environment and constant adaptation to the country are crucial for all students. However, many students face challenges when they attend higher education outside their home countries. The article shows that various investigators have carried out a large number of studies on the factors that affect students’ ability to adapt to different global challenges. The article provides some results of students’ adaptation effects during the first year of the Technical University in Košice. in the Daily Life section, we recorded statistically significant results between groups (Ukrainian students and other foreign students). Globalization includes transnational political, economic and cultural ideologies and values. The findings of the research questionnaire have important meaning for educators to help students in their efforts to succeed in a period of globalization and in adaptation in real educational practice. The university must be prepared to meet students not only academically, but also socially and culturally.
