Studying abroad as part of a degree will give the students an opportunity to gain new academic perspectives, establish an international network, return motivated and independent, improve their language skills and discover a new culture. Applications are welcome from students registered at any of the FD’s Erasmus or bi-lateral partners. Students should check with their home institutions to see if there is an agreement in place. Undergraduate students may apply for a mobility exchange during either Autumn or Spring semester. Students should be nominated first through the International department at the sending institution. Applications should be made to one of the following FD departments:
- Interior Design
- Visual Communications
- Fashion and Textiles Design
- Design Management
Autumn semester: October – mid February
Spring semester: mid February – mid July

Theoretical classes are in Slovene language – because we are obliged by Slovenian legislation to offer our students lectures in the Slovene language. English is a commonly used language in Slovenia. The majority of our teachers studied abroad, so they know how to adjust the program and knowledge for the Erasmus+ incoming students. We are constantly participating in international projects, workshops taught by foreign guest lecturers, so English is quite often used and there will be no problem for students to integrate. For those who are interested in learning Slovene language (Erasmus Intensive Language Course – EILC) they can apply at UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA, FACULTY OF ARTS Centre for Slovene as a second/foreign language Kongresni trg 12 SI-1000 LJUBLJANA eilc@ff.uni-lj.si Zavod ŠOLT Vojkova 63 SI-1000 LJUBLJANA info@zavod-solt.si The course starts in mid September / mid January.
