New University (Nova univerza)

Key Highlights

• Private Slovenian university established in 2017
• Included in Slovenia’s official 2026/27 higher-education enrollment process
• Rectorate in Ljubljana with study activity also associated with Nova Gorica and Kranj
• Organized around specialized member faculties rather than a single comprehensive campus

Student Life & Environment

Student support is distributed between university-level services and the relevant faculty. The University Library in central Ljubljana provides study and research support, while enrollment charges published by member faculties include library membership, electronic resources, access to the e-classroom, information systems, and a contribution to the Student Council. Students should confirm opening hours and service access with their own faculty, particularly if their teaching site is outside Ljubljana. The university Career Center connects students, graduates, faculties, and prospective employers. Its stated services include individual and group career guidance, career-plan preparation, workshops, information about vacancies and scholarships, employer presentations, workplace visits, and guidance on practical training. These are support services rather than a guarantee of placements or employment outcomes. International mobility is a visible part of university life. New University coordinates Erasmus activity across its member faculties, and its incoming-student material describes lectures, workshops, cultural activities, and administrative support centered in Ljubljana. Exchange students may also access subsidized student meals subject to Slovenian eligibility and registration rules. Housing requires early, independent planning. University guidance discusses both Ljubljana student residences and private rentals, but the detailed accommodation information located during research applied to 2024/25 and did not guarantee a dormitory place. No verified 2026/27 housing price or guarantee was found. Incoming students should therefore request current availability directly from the international office before relying on university-arranged accommodation.

Location & Surroundings

The university’s rectorate and library are at Mestni trg 23 in Ljubljana’s historic center. Ljubljana is Slovenia’s capital and the focal point for New University’s Erasmus activities, including teaching, workshops, cultural programming, and administration. The central location places students near the city’s public transport, cultural institutions, restaurants, and other services, but it should not be mistaken for a conventional self-contained residential campus. New University has a geographically distributed model. Its official overview identifies Ljubljana as its base and study centers in Nova Gorica and Kranj. The Faculty of Government and European Studies publishes an address in Kranj, while law teaching is associated with Ljubljana and Nova Gorica. Consequently, a student’s daily environment and travel requirements depend on the faculty, program, year, and delivery mode. Applicants should verify the actual teaching address before arranging accommodation. This is particularly important for international students who may see Ljubljana contact details on the university website while applying to a faculty operating at another location. Exchange activity is more centralized: university guidance states that Erasmus programming is conducted in Ljubljana, with other study centers available for individual visits.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Costs are faculty-, program-, citizenship-, and study-mode-specific; the database contains no verified university-wide tuition figure. For 2026/27, the Faculty of Slovenian and International Studies lists annual tuition of €2,000 for each standard year of Slovenian Studies, €2,500 for each year of Slovenian Studies II, and €3,000 for each year of Slovenian Studies III. Its published enrollment fee is €130. These figures apply to that faculty and should not be generalized to every New University program. The Faculty of Government and European Studies publishes different 2026/27 amounts: €2,300 per year for listed first-cycle programs, €2,700 per year for listed master’s programs, and €3,400 per year for its listed doctorates. Its price list says tuition for foreign citizens equals part-time tuition and distinguishes €100 regular-study and €130 part-time enrollment charges. Transfer tuition can be calculated individually. Applicants should obtain a personal fee assessment, especially where concession-funded full-time places, foreign-citizen rules, transfers, or additional services are involved. No current institution-wide estimate for rent, food, transport, insurance, or total attendance cost was verified. Students should budget those items separately and request current housing information before committing. Career preparation is supported through the university Career Center, which offers counseling, workshops, vacancy and scholarship information, employer engagement, and practical-training guidance. The academic portfolio points toward legal practice, government, public administration, diplomacy, research, policy, and related private-sector work, but no sufficiently current, independently verified placement rate or graduate-salary figure was found.
