» Excellence is not an act, but a habit «
Aristotle
And habits are reinforced through established and dedicated activities, which is something we, the Faculty of Tourism, University of Ljubljana, continually strive for when it comes to any aspect of quality. Through various activities, FT UM regularly monitors, evaluates, promotes and ensures the development of a quality system (with the PDCA cycle: plan, do, check, act) in all areas of its functioning.
Quality assurance is our fundamental value as well as a continuous dynamic process that grows and develops along with the Faculty. It is the responsibility of all stakeholders involved in the higher education system. Through numerous actions as part of the infinite process of continuous improvements, we build and provide quality, always.

Sona Shaji, Student of Professional Study Programme Tourism (English programme)
Being lucky to get picked up from the airport by the Dean and getting all help to overcome all the obstacles, all the members of FT Team work with their heart and serve such great hospitality to the international students.
Lectures are divided into two parts, main lecture and tutorials, even if you miss the main lecture, never miss the tutorials. The course is more practically oriented not just theoretical, and that's what I love the most.
Studying in Slovenia was entirely a different experience for me. Unlike the common study destinations, Slovenia is a unique country for international students. Slovenia and FT UM will be always in my heart, “The Home Away from Home”.
Aleksa Panić, Teaching assistant Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Singidunum University, Belgrade
My studies at the FT UM taught me about the importance of responsible and sustainable management and planning of tourist destinations. I think that the faculty is highly qualified to teach in the area of green and environmentally-friendly tourism and has outstanding experts, while Slovenia is the best place to see the results of such organising and efforts.
I would like to use what I have learned at FT UM to help improve results in this area in Serbia and to increase awareness of the importance of this approach among young people, especially those who want to be actively involved in tourism.
Collaboration with professors and teaching assistants (participation in international conferences) was also important for my subsequent academic work. They offered me several opportunities to write research papers on tourism which were received with acclaim.
Debora Gambaletta, Erasmus incoming postgraduate student
I was a student in my second year of graduate master's study, I stayed for 6 unforgettable months. I had the opportunity to meet new people from Europe and the world and exchange experiences, learn about other customs and cultures.
Erasmus+ coordinator at Faculty of Tourism was very kind, available at all times and willing to help. I am sure to take advantage of this unforgettable opportunity that will surely change your perception of your life.
Yana Fedyushkina, Student of Professional Study Programme Contemporary Tourism Practices (English programme)
My studies at FT UM turned out to be deeper than I expected. All professors provide extensive coverage of their subjects. Learning is not easy, but it only grows the desire to learn new things.
I am very happy with the opportunity to study online as I am not currently in Slovenia. All classes are perfectly organized, professors instruct in detail about the tasks for the semester, provide all the necessary materials for studies, and conduct classes in an involving way. Therefore, we should only absorb knowledge.
