Before the start of the new academic year, UP will host Orientation Days on 29 and 30 September. The event is designed for degree-seeking international students as well as exchange students joining UP from partner institutions. Orientation Days offer a chance to meet fellow international students, discover the new academic and social environment, and connect with the people who will shape their study experience.

The welcome gathering at Koper’s Taverna will feature addresses by Vice-Rector Prof. Michael Mrissa, President of the UP Student Council Lana Erjavec, President of ESN Primorska Emilija Toth and a representative of the Municipality of Koper. Across the two days, students will receive practical information about studying and extracurricular opportunities at UP, take part in a basic Slovenian language course, and explore some of Koper’s key sites. The programme will also include support and guidance from student tutors and ESN Primorska representatives.

UP’s Orientation Days are the perfect opportunity to make sure that you are prepared for the next academic year and familiar with the basics of student life and life on the Slovene coast. It is also the best way to make new friends and create a strong connection with your fellow students.

Moreover, you will get to know university facilities, academic departments, student services, and different student organisations.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the University of Primorska and to our Orientation Days, where you will have the chance to start the new academic year with lots of fun and great memories.
