UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA AND THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS (FELU)

The University of Ljubljana was established in 1919 on the basis of a long-established pedagogical tradition. Today, it is the most prominent university in Slovenia with its seat in the center of Ljubljana where also the majority of its faculties are located. With more than 57,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, it is one of the biggest universities on the world scale. A total of 22 faculties, 3 academies of art and one university college employ approximately 3,700 teaching and research staff, assisted by nearly 600 technical and administrative staff. It is famous for the quality of its study courses both in the humanities, and in scientific and technological fields, as well as in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.

The Faculty of Economics (FELU) was established in 1946 as part of the University of Ljubljana. Soon after its foundation it became the most influential educational organization in Slovenia, and today it is the largest faculty among its peers. More than 20,000 students have graduated from it since it was established. The FELU has a long tradition in research and education, which demonstrates that the development and modernization of teaching and research have been its priorities from the very beginning. It continually strives to gain recognition of its quality and achievements in education and research. It is proud of its expertise in a wide variety of areas: econometrics, political economy, international economics, international trade, international business practice, management, accounting and finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, planning and logistics, information systems, and the promotion of new methodologies in economics, business education, and organizational sciences. It follows the most modern trends in education in Europe and across the world. The FELU was one of the first faculties in Slovenia to establish new internationally comparable programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels accredited under the 3+2 system and just recently, in October 2006, received global EQUIS quality accreditation status, which acknowledges excellence in all its activities: the creation of a learning environment, teaching, attention to student development, advising, research, process organization, a high level of international involvement, and connections with the business world.

The FELU is one of the most contemporary faculties in Slovenia. It has excellent purpose-built and technologically equipped lecture halls as well as meeting facilities, computer laboratories, and free wireless internet access, which is available in almost all areas of the faculty. Today it is among the best European schools and is the University’s largest faculty, occupying part of a spacious suburban campus.
