ENThe paper is dedicated to the analyses of the COVID-19 induced sudden shift to on-line studies on universities, with the focus on emotional intelligence and perspective of students. Methods of critical reference analysis and the empiric pilot study were employed. Critical analysis found the emotional intelligence serving as a coping mechanism against the COVID-19 induced negative impact. The findings of pilot study seem to indicate that the shift, at least from students ‘perspective, should not necessarily be related immediately to negative impact; feedback, on-line testing/assessment and other aspects were identified as quite positive in the study, which should be explored further due to the limitations of the study.
