The faculty during their "adolescence" has gone through quite an eventful evolution, which was contingent upon both the development of the social surroundings and the structure of the teachers and students. In spite of many pressures the Faculty has managed to maintain the face of a fair partner in relation to the management of the Economic University in Bratislava and other faculties of the University, as a reliable partner for economic practice and face of a stable and equitable teacher for all those interested in education. Significant traces on the face of the Faculty were left behind  by all the deans whose actions  positively influenced its more than 65-year history and we pay a high tribute to them:
