Ljubljana Summer School - Take the Best from East & West 2013

The next edition of Ljubljana Summer School  Take the Best from East & West will be held on 8-26 July 2013 at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is an internationally renowned programme that was created in the summer of 2000. During the three exciting and challenging weeks, students attend courses, interact with managers during company visits, discover local culture and socialize with people from around the world.

The Ljubljana Summer School is open to undergraduates, graduate students and recent graduates. Students will be able to choose from among many courses which are academically challenging and intellectually stimulating. Discussions between professors and students through various interactive teaching methods are strongly encouraged. Coming from Slovenia and all over the world, the lecturers are experts in their chosen fields and actively involved in academic research; many act as advisers and consultants to companies and the government.  
Students meet colleagues from different parts of the world and gain insights into new cultures and thinking processes that are a source of creativity and development. They will work in teams and improve their communication skills. We will organise visits to successful Slovenian companies from various industries in different Slovenian regions. 

Students may choose one or two courses with 6, 7 or 8 ECTS credits. In line with the home university policy, students can earn ECTS credits if all the course requirements are fulfilled. Together with the ECTS credits students receive a Certificate of Attendance. The lectures will be held in the morning or afternoon. The number of students per course is limited. Please note that a course will not be offered if fewer than 15 students apply.
