This paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey focused on the perception of global education topics. The survey was conducted among students of the Technical University in Zvolen (TUZVO). We worked with the following target groups: 100 students of ecology and environmental sciences (50 students from bachelor programmes, 50 from graduate programmes) and 100 students of economic sciences (50/50). We presumed that there would be differences in opinions between the four groups of students and the results of the survey confirmed our assumption. We propose to use the results of this survey to implement innovation measures in the teaching programmes at TUZVO. Key words: global education, higher education, Technical University in Zvolen
