Slovene course – Enroll Now
The University of Primorska provides free Slovene courses to its students and staff from level A1 (beginner) to B1 (intermediate). All language courses are carried out by the University of Primorska Faculty of Humanities at their premises.
All students enrolled in Slovene study programmes and all scholarship holders have to pass an A2 Slovene proficiency exam before their enrolment into the 2nd year.
All others are strongly encouraged to learn the language of the environment they live in.
In the course, you are divided into small groups of students who have a similar background and therefore a similar starting point for the language. There are 6 groups:
Two groups of students from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro – they start with an A2 class and continue to B1;
One group of students from other Slavic-speaking countries – they start with A1 advanced class and continue to A2;
One group of students from non-Slavic-speaking countries – they start with A1 absolute beginner class and continue to A2;
One group of mobile students – they have an A1 absolute beginner class with emphasis on culture and life in Slovenia;
One group for UP staff – the level depends on the group’s needs.
UP takes the necessary measures to enable your participation in language courses and we try to dedicate some time for language learning in your schedule.
A special language learning group is created for mobile students. You will learn the basics of the Slovene language with special emphasis on life and culture in Slovenia.
The course Slovene as a foreign language (levels A1, A2 and B1) lasts 60 contact hours, corresponds to 6 ECTS and is carried out at the Faculty of Humanities. It is free of charge for all foreign students of the University of Primorska.
