The University of Primorska (UP) is a medium-sized, internationally oriented university with 5,744 students, 1,300 (22.63%) of whom come from 47 foreign countries. It has 730 staff and 480 researchers and university professors, 59 (or 12.3%) of which are from abroad.

UP is part of Allicance Transform4Europe, a European university that provides added value to the students and staff of 10 universities across Europe and is one of the 38 members of the European Network of Innovative Higher Education Institutions (ENIHEI), an initiative proposed by Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, to share knowledge, ideas and experiences on how higher education can foster a culture of innovation and empower creativity, entrepreneurship and talent.

In partnership with the Škocjan Caves Regional Park, UP established the UNESCO Chair for Interpretation and Education to strengthen integrated approaches to heritage and, in cooperation with the European Commission, established the first New European Bauhaus Academy to support the green transformation of the European construction sector.

UP offers 79 study programmes at all three levels, 19 of which are also taught in English, and mobile students can take one of more than 250 courses taught in English.

In addition, UP organises 5 to 10 international summer schools each year with different themes and more than 10 international scientific conferences, including at least one major conference, as in several years in a row, with more than 1,000 participants and under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia.

Being a student in Slovenia brings you numerous benefits, including discounts on public transport and entrance fees to events or other activities. A special coupon system, which can be used in restaurants across the country, significantly reduces the costs of living, while the possibility to work through a programme called ‘Student Work’, will facilitate you the access to temporary and part-time work in many different areas.

On the Slovenian coast, students can benefit from many sports and cultural activities, parties and trips which are organized by several student organizations. These also organize welcome or orientation weeks to help international students get to know each other and settle in. The University has a strong tutoring system, whereby students at most of the faculties assist other students in solving everyday issues. In addition, everyone can choose to stay in a student dormitory or in a private apartment, student dorms being the cheaper option.

A personal approach is highly valued by our students, and our surveys show that student-professor relationships are highly satisfactory.
