The University of Ljubljana follows the Ukrainian crisis with deep shock and concern. We are aware that many of you are, either directly or indirectly, affected by what is taking place in your country. We would like to assure you that you remain a part of our university community and that we are making our best efforts to support and assist you. We have prepared these guides that will help you before you arrive in Slovenia and later for easier integration into your studies and the Slovenian environment.

Help for students from Ukraine in integrating into the Slovenian environment and learning the Slovenian language
Students of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana from the Department of Slavic Studies offer free help in the form of teaching Slovenian, socializing, supporting and getting to know life in Ljubljana.
For students with some knowledge of Slovene, they offer informal meetings to help you get rid of your discomfort of communicating in Slovenian and strengthen your ability to express yourself through conversation.
For beginners, they are ready to organise a course in basic Slovenian. Through informal socialising together, they want to help you to communicate more easily in Slovenian with your colleagues and teachers. The course will start in the second semester, probably in mid-February (after the end of the winter exam period). At our first meeting, we will agree on the dates of the course and the division into groups. We will inform all applied students to the course about the exact date and venue at a later date. If you have any questions, please contact us at or .
You are also welcome to join the Facebook group where you can find all current information.
*Please do not contact students with questions regarding documentation for studies, residence, etc. For this purpose, use the other links available at www.uni-lj.si/study and www.uni-lj.si/study/information/temporary-residence-permit-in-the-republic-of-slovenia.
