starting the winter or summer semester. The Centre for Slovene as a foreign language, Faculty of Arts,
organizes a 60 hours (3 ECTS) intensive Slovenian language course for Erasmus+ students. The course
fee is 75€ and the places are limited (the “first come first served” principle).

The application deadlines are in June for the course starting in September and in December for the
course starting in January.

More information can be found on: centerslo.si/en/courses-for-adults

More courses are offered to all exchange students during the semester by:

8. Student organisation
Student organisation (Študentska organizacija Univerze v Ljubljani - ŠOU v Ljubljani) arranges activi-
ties which are not part of degree programmes. It is an organiser and promoter and represents students’
interests. The ŠOU is active in a variety of areas of student life:

• social: student services, legal assistance, accommodation finding services;

• cultural: choirs, dance groups, publishing, radio;
• sports;
• international co-operation;
• other extracurricular activities.

The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is a group of students at the University of Ljubljana forming
a part of ESN International. ESN’s main task is to participate in the receiving of exchange students,
including mentorship, sightseeing and social gatherings.

ESN and international office of ŠOU organise hikes, trips, excursions and parties. All exchange stu-
dents are invited to take part in these arrangements. The ESN and ŠOU will contribute in every way
possible to make your stay in Ljubljana a pleasant one: www.esn-ljubljana.si

11
9. Accommodation
The University of Ljubljana does not provide or guarantee accommodation.
However, there are some options you can use to find your own accommodation:
• to rent a private room or flat check:
www.realestate-sloveniainfo
www.mkvadrat.si
• to rent a room that is part of the Student residence halls (a very limited number of beds!),
apply through an online application.

The International Office can help you with providing rooms in the Student residence halls, but
due to the shortage of rooms, we cannot guarantee that you will really get a bed. All rooms in
Student residence halls are double-bedded rooms. They are furnished and have a shared kitchen
and bathroom.

We strongly advise our students to book some temporary accommodation for the first few weeks
of their stay in Ljubljana and then look for private accommodation.

Temporary accommodation can be found at some hostels and low-rate hotels:

www.visitljubljana.si/en/accommodation

University of Ljubljana is a partner of HousingAnywhere.com, the international student-to-stu-

dent housing platform. Students who are coming from abroad to Ljubljana can find and book
a student room on www.HousingAnywhere.com. The rooms on this platform are offered by
our students that go abroad for a study abroad semester, exchange, Erasmus or internship. Using
the platform itself is completely free for you as a student; when you make a concrete booking an
administrative fee will be charged as a part of Housing Anywhere’s secure booking system.
For any questions, please contact [email protected]

10. Application procedure
for exchange
If you wish to undertake a period of study at the University of Ljubljana, you should contact the
Office of International Relations ([email protected]) to request the application information,
which is also available on this website:
www.uni-lj.si/international_cooperation_and_exchange/erasmus-plus-programme/
incoming_students/

10.1. Learning Agreement

This document is an agreement between incoming students and the host institution. Students
select the subjects they wish to study in consultation with their academic advisor at their home
institution. The draft proposal is then uploaded to the online application. The options the student
has selected are then considered by the University of Ljubljana on the basis of availability and the
candidate’s ability and academic background. A decision is then forwarded to the candidate and, if
both sides are in agreement, the document is considered as a contract. However, departments do
have the right to withdraw their courses at any time before the study period begins.

10.2. Transcript of Records

This document has two functions. Firstly, it is used by departments to make decisions about a can-
didate’s suitability based on the information supplied on the transcript of records. The transcript
functions as a formalised curriculum vitae or resume.

The certificate presented to students upon the completion of their studies in Ljubljana is also
known as a transcript. It outlines the courses taken and the grades achieved.

10.3. Language requirements

The University of Ljubljana offers instruction in the following languages: Slovenian and English.
The University of Ljubljana requires that the student has very good language skills (very good
knowledge in reading, writing and speaking of the language) in at least one of the two languages
in order to be able to study here.

Please note that fluent language skills in Slovenian (or English) are vital for successful studies at
the University of Ljubljana. If the language requirements are not met, the University of Ljubljana
will not accept you.

13
 10.4. Required Language Skills
Students must present a language certificate of their Slovenian or English language skills. Very
good language skills refer to level B2 on the CEFR scale of the European Language Portfolio
Levels.

How to prove the language skills in Slovenian or English:

• language skills are listed on the Transcript of Records of the home university; or
• submit the Language Certificate with CEFR scale; or
• submit TOEFL score of 79 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6 for English or any other official
certificate; or
• submit the result of the OLS (Erasmus+ online language support).

www.infotujci.si/v/7/temporary-residence-permit International students coming from EU and EEA
Member countries and Switzerland have free ac-
cess to emergency or necessary healthcare services
during their temporary residence in the Repub-
lic of Slovenia upon submission of evidence of
their status: the European Health Insurance Card
(EHIC) or a certificate as a substitute for EHIC
ec.europa.eu/immigration that is issued by the competent state. This means
that the doctor has to provide necessary healthcare
services to students who hold a European health
insurance card so that they do not have to return
to their home country for medical care before the
end of their intended stay in Slovenia. Students
can access the services directly from health care ser-
vice providers who have a contract with the Health
Insurance Institute Slovenia. During their stay in
Slovenia, students with valid health insurance in
Australia can assert only urgent medical care with
health care providers, which wave a signed agree-
ment with the Health Insurance Institute Slovenia.
They must present their MEDICARE Australian
card and passport used to check the identity of the
insured person from Australia.

International students from countries with which

the Republic of Slovenia has concluded a bilateral
agreement on social insurance have free access only
to emergency healthcare services in the Republic
of Slovenia upon submission of evidence of their
status. The Republic of Slovenia has concluded
bilateral Social Insurance Agreements with the Re-
public of Macedonia, Republic of Bosnia and Her-
zegovina, Republic of Serbia, and Montenegro. As
a rule, a foreign insured person must submit sam-
ple form RM/SI 3, BIH/SI 3, SRB/SI 03 or MNE/
SI 03 to the regional unit of the Health Insurance
Institute Slovenia. The Health Insurance Institute
Slovenia issues a certificate which allows students
access to emergency medical services from health-
care service providers who have a contract with the
Health Insurance Institute Slovenia.
