Thursday, 28 September 2017 "Orientation days 2017" at the University of Primorska

Today around 120 students were gathered together at the University of Primorska for the beginning of the “Orientation days 2017” intended for students from abroad who are enrolled in our study programs in the academic year 2017/2018 or will spend at UP their mobility period within the framework of the Erasmus + programme or other mobility programmes.

At the introductory meeting, we presented our University, the environment and the main characteristics of Slovenia and its inhabitants. Also, information on the procedures for the purpose of obtaining necessary permits for their stay in Slovenia were very useful. In these proceedings at the administrative unites students will be helped by the tutors and the Student Organization of the University of Primorska (ŠOUP). After visiting Koper, they went to the UP Faculty of Tourism Studies - Turistica, where they had the chance to taste some culinary delights of our region.

On Friday, September 29, 2017, the Mobility Coordinators and UP Enrollment Office will be available for them for any information needed. In the afternoon, they will attend workshops at the “European researchers’ night 2017” organized by UP in cooperation with the University of Maribor, the University of Nova Gorica, the National Institute of Biology from Ljubljana and Franko Miklošič High School from Ljutomer.

On Saturday, September 30, 2017, foreign students will start with the Slovenian language course, while on Sunday they will be able to enjoy relaxing on the beach.

We will conclude our orientation days with "Pozdrav brucem" – the Welcome day organized for all freshmen, which will take place on Monday, October 2, 2017, from 9.30 am on Tito Square in Koper.
