The Slovak Republic is experiencing a growing brain drain of elite secondary school students. Slovak human capital flows chiefly to Czech Higher Education Institutes (HEIs). The aim of this paper is to analyse who these Slovak students are to create a complete profile of Slovak students at Czech HEIs. We used a unique dataset based on the surveys EUROSTUDENT V and DOKTORANDI 2014 to explore differences between Czech and Slovak students, their financial situation and the functionality of the intergenerational transmission mechanism. We have found that Slovak students at Czech HEIs come from highly educated families and from the middle and higher class families significantly more often than Czech students at Czech HEIs or Slovak students at Slovak HEIs. Approximately 80% of them came from grammar schools. Slovak students also often have better language skills. We have discovered that Slovak students at Czech HEIs enjoy certain social benefits, slightly more often they have higher monthly income compared to Czech students, and they work slightly less often during their studies. Finally, according to our findings, Slovak doctoral students are often reluctant to return back to the Slovak Republic or to stay in the Czech Republic.

Domestic higher studies are criticised for their low efficiency owing to the demands of practice. The core of problem is supposed in the small share of practical preparation mainly, but another cause can be the concept itself. Management studies are still considered as a part of Business Economics compared with independent study programs of Management abroad. Business Economics and Management have undergone divergent evolution during past fifty years; the Business Economics has stayed nearly unchanged and the Management has developed into a number of separate specific disciplines. While in Europe the study program Management is classified under Business & Economics usually, independent Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs are extended overseas, and common is also Doctoral study program in Management Science. Significantly specific is the Management of non-economic fields, which focuses both on the preparation for specific professional skills and always for the line management with respect to anticipated staffing positions. Some change can bring the intended transfer of accreditation competencies, but when regarding the proposed content of Areas of Education, there is no good news for the domestic practice there. Neither the requirements for professional or academic programs are distinguished, nor adequate managerial skills mentioned.
