Students belonging to our Faculty are able to join different associations, clubs and sections, where they can form new friendships, enrich their academic process, and organise various events, including round tables, movie nights, and book presentations etc. It is important that associations, sections, and clubs within different departments are able to connect with eachother, build genuine interdisciplinary relationships, and use this to expand their knowledge. Professors and experts from both Slovenia and abroad are also often invited to take part.

It’s a space where students have the opportunity to gush about their favourite authors and work with foreign students and professors. To be honest, it’s mostly just us geeking out about English-related stuff.
