Personal and professional development of students

Globalisation provides and requires ongoing adjustments and keeping track of changes. Our office aims to prepare students for such challenges even during their studies. We continuously enhance and upgrade services that allow them to develop soft skills and other competences, integrate into the international environment and cooperate interactively with foreign students and career counsellors.

Head of Centre for Students’ Personal and Professional Development

We have strengthened cooperation with the career centres of several European universities and thus upgraded Skype services for career counselling for students interested in career opportunities in France, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Spain and Great Britain. During the project, we developed and organised educational and other events intended for building connections between students and employers. The events have become well-established among students, employers and the general public and quite popular. The events included “Challenges Abroad”, career fairs, the so-called speed-dates with employers, the Elevator pitch festival, “Ready for Entrepreneurship”, open days of University of Ljubljana Career Centres, career camp, “Build up your competences”, establishing connections with the fastest growing Slovenian companies and organising selection procedure simulations in cooperation with the Department of Psychology from the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.

Pursuant to the Rules on Extracurricular Activities at the University of Ljubljana, 35 syllabuses for extracurricular sports activities were confirmed which will apply to the forthcoming seven year period. In addition to sports activities, the adopted rules have encouraged faculties/academies to evaluate other extracurricular activities as well. Among the first were the Legal Clinic for Refugees and Foreigners at the Faculty of Law, Project-Based and Experiential Learning at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering and Tutelage at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana.

In 2015, Sports activities at the University of Ljubljana included a variety of programmes differing in volume, quality, standard and purpose. The offer includes programmes by the Centre for Extracurricular Activities (former Centre for University Sports), elective courses offered by certain University members and competitive sports programmes within the scope of the University of Ljubljana Sports Association (ŠZUL) and the Slovenian University Sports Association (SUSA). In the current academic year, students can choose from an expanded set of seasonal sports and recreation programmes, such as alpine skiing, sports and recreation, outdoor jogging and baseball. Students were also invited to attend the so-called sports holidays events, which are becoming increasingly popular.
