Looking for a European study experience without committing to a full degree? Slovenia is offering scholarship-supported short-term study opportunities for the 2026–2027 academic year. This programme allows international students to study at Slovenian universities for one semester or a full academic year, gaining exposure to high-quality teaching, research, and culture.

Key Benefits

This scholarship-backed mobility programme provides a flexible and supported experience, including:

• Monthly Stipend: Financial support to help with living costs.
• Academic Access: Full access to courses, libraries, and research facilities, with credits transferable to your home institution.
• Administrative Assistance: Guidance on accommodation, health insurance, and residency procedures.
• Cultural Immersion: Opportunities to experience Slovenian culture and European academic life.

Mobility Pathways

Students can apply through one of three established routes:

1. Erasmus+ Programme – Facilitates exchanges between partner universities for 3 to 12 months. Open to students from EU and non-EU countries, depending on your home institution’s agreements.
2. Bilateral Agreement Scholarships – Slovenia has educational agreements with countries such as India, China, Mexico, Japan, and others, typically allowing mobility of up to 10 months.
3. CEEPUS Exchange Programme – Focused on Central and South-Eastern Europe, supporting students whose research aligns with regional cooperation.
