CAPITAL OF SLOVENIA – LJUBLJANA
It is a relatively large central European city
situated between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea
with approximately 300,000 inhabitants. It is the
political and cultural heart of the Slovenian nation
and most charming in summer. It is a city of
culture and a rich historical legacy which offers
all the friendliness of a small town and at the same
time everything that a capital city should offer.
The visitor’s first impression of Ljubljana is that
it is an exceptionally young city because its over
50,000 students lend it a special youthful
feeling. Many scientists come to Ljubljana
because of its university and institutes with solid
international reputations. It is considered a city
that suits both its residents and many visitors.
Even though it is a middle-sized European city,
it maintains the friendliness of a small town and yet simultaneously possesses all the
characteristics of a metropolis. Here, at the meeting point of the cultures of East and West
the old comes together in harmony with the new.
Ljubljana is a city to which people often travel for
business or return to due to their pleasant
memories of a previous visit. Given its
geographical position, Ljubljana also represents
an ideal starting point to discover the amazingly
diverse features and beauty of Slovenia.

4+1 study programmes into 3+2 programmes in line with the Bologna Declaration and
the prevailing pattern of business studies in Europe. As in the past years the FELU has
operated in line with five basic strategic guidelines: Internationalisation, Links with the
corporate world, Assurance of high quality standards, Market Orientation and Excellence
in organisation, the FELU became strongly competitive and among the best schools in
Europe.
In line with school reorganisation and modernisation the FELU was awarded with EQUIS
accreditation in 2006 which is the leading international system of quality assessment,
improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and
business administration.

The International Relations Office (IRO) is a crucial advisor and promoter of the FELU’s
internationalization. Its main tasks are to organize and support faculty and student
mobility through different schemes (LLL/Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, CEEPUS and
bilateral agreements), organize the internationally well-renowned Ljubljana Summer
School, gather and disseminate useful information for both students and faculty about
study opportunities abroad and, finally, to constantly undertake activities to promote the
FELU’s international recognition.
The LLL/Erasmus programme ensures students’ mobility and is the most popular and
successful programme. The FELU has bilateral agreements with more than 130 partner
universities from more than 35 countries which enable more than 200 students to study
abroad, while around 200 international students also study at the FELU each year.
The FELU offers a tutor to every exchange student. The tutor is a Slovenian student who
helps the exchange student arrange the necessary documents and helps them get
acclimatized to Slovenia in the first few weeks. The tutor contacts the exchange student
approximately two months before the semester starts. They are also responsible for the
social life of exchange students.
