The aim of this study was to examine the online education of subjects with an economic focus during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the opinions and experiences of university students in the Slovak Republic. The data were collected using a questionnaire, while the research sample consisted of 358 respondents. Data analysis was performed using the Friedman test, the Nemenyi post-hoc test and the Mann-Whitney test. Students consider safety for health to be the biggest advantage and the biggest disadvantage is the lack of development of interpersonal relationships. The necessary technical equipment to implement online education is not a problem for them. We also found some differences in responses based on gender, degree of study and study results.
