Abstract
Globalization changes the direction of the university education and influences structural changes in the content of the curriculum. As universities try to prepare graduates for practice within new global environment, this paper points towards the need to implement global education and some educational approaches, including development education into the university education. Thus, the development topics can be implemented into the curriculum of universities. This paper interprets the reasons for implementation of such topics into university studies, and introduces several research projects realized at the Slovak universities.
