Background of Slovenia
Slovenia is actively implementing measures to support equal opportunities, academic success, and student mobility in higher and vocational education, including language learning and distance education. Its adoption of the Bologna system facilitates academic and professional recognition of qualifications and promotes modern education methods.
In recent years, Slovenian higher education has undergone significant structural changes and program implementations, making it an increasingly popular international student destination. Currently, just under 2,000 foreign students are studying in Slovenia, with a majority from former Yugoslav republics due to cultural and linguistic ties. Foreign students account for almost 10% of doctoral students. In addition to Slovenian-taught programs, a considerable selection of English-taught programs is available, especially in larger cities and for postgraduate courses, which often do not require Slovenian language proficiency. Slovenia is expanding its English-taught offerings through the Erasmus network to attract more European students.
