Department of Slovene Studies

About the department

At the Department of Slovene Studies in Koper, in a relaxed and multi-lingual environment, students are trained in small study groups for critical study of Slovenian and humanistic fields. They thus acquire linguistic tools and knowledge for studying literature, which will help them on their career paths in educational, translation, journalistic, publishing and sundry other fields.

Studying activities and networking
In addition to a variety of educational activities organized within the faculty – from literary readings, guest lectures to group visits of more distant theaters – Koper students of Slovene can also participate in numerous activities at the University and in broader Koper environment, i.e. in the academic choir or as volunteers who provide educational help. Together we have fun on excursions, field trips and departmental picnics and hikes. We actively involve students in research, either independently or during the educational process, they can join the associations and publishers such as the University of Primorska, the Slavic Society Koper or the Center for Slovenian Language and Culture, and become part of a wider Slovenian community, gathered in, for example, the Slavic Society of Slovenia or the Slovenian Society for Comparative Literature.

Center for Slovene Language and Culture

The Center for Slovenian Language and Culture was founded in 2007 as an organizational unit of the Faculty of Humanities. Due to the increasing enrollment of foreign students at the University of Primorska, the Center plays a key role in the organization and implementation of learning the Slovenian language at several levels.
