<h2>Academic year and ECTS</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Slovenian academic year generally runs from 1 October to 30 September, but teaching and exam periods differ between universities and faculties, so always save your own calendar. A standard full-time year usually represents 60 ECTS, and individual courses carry credits based on expected workload.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Student status and how long your rights last</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Almost every student benefit in this guide, subsidised meals, subsidised transport, student work through a napotnica, and student housing, depends on having active student status. Under Slovenian law you hold these rights for one study programme per level (one bachelor, one master), and only while you are not regularly employed, not running a registered activity, not on the unemployment register, and not a company or institute director.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The standard duration is the length of the programme, but it can extend: normally one extra year for repeating a year or for absolvent status, a further year for justified reasons such as health or social circumstances, and one extra year per child born during study. You may also change programme or direction once per level and may study two programmes in parallel after passing the first year. Losing status, for example by deregistering or running out of these rights, removes the benefits that depend on it, so plan any change carefully. The renewal, change, and graduation page explains repeats, transfers, and gap years in detail.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Grades</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul class="guide-checklist">
|
||
<li>10: excellent</li>
|
||
<li>9 and 8: very good</li>
|
||
<li>7: good</li>
|
||
<li>6: sufficient</li>
|
||
<li>1 to 5: fail</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Check programme rules because assessment details vary.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Exam registration is your responsibility</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>University of Primorska shows how detailed rules can be: registration several days before the exam, withdrawal before a separate deadline, a waiting period after a late withdrawal, absence, or failed attempt, limits on attempts, and fees for later or commission attempts. These exact numbers are not national rules; read your faculty’s assessment regulation and portal instructions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Referat and university systems</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The faculty student office (referat) handles administrative study questions. A useful email includes your name, student or application number, programme, year, a clear question, the relevant deadline, and an attachment where necessary. During the first week, learn the student portal, course and exam registration systems, the e-classroom, official email, eduroam, library search and repository, and any digital student identity.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Learning Slovenian</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>A programme advertised in English may still use Slovenian for administration, placements, local professional settings, some electives, and everyday life. Useful routes include university language courses, Leto plus for eligible first-year international students at University of Ljubljana, the Center za slovenščino kot drugi in tuji jezik, free self-study through Slonline, and faculty conversation groups. Some programmes require B2 Slovenian for admission, so check the annual call before applying.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Tutoring, representation, and extracurricular ECTS</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>A tutor can help with course selection, systems, and the first semester. The student council (študentski svet) represents student views inside the university and appoints students to bodies that may decide on academic matters such as exceptional progression. Some universities formally credit selected extracurricular activities: COD at University of Ljubljana, KOOD at University of Maribor, and selected University of Primorska activities including sport and alliance programmes. Check enrolment periods, available places, and whether the activity counts inside or outside the programme’s normal ECTS structure.</p>

<p class="guide-box-title"><i class="fas fa-comment" aria-hidden="true"></i>From student experience</p>
