Mix & Mingle in Ljubljana

On Thursday, May the 5, Brežice arrived in Ljubljana for a MIX AND MINGLE, an introductory event for students from Brežice and their colleagues of English programmes who study in Ljubljana.

We met up on Student Campus outside the lecture halls and without Powerpoint slides. Through social games organized by the Student Council of the Faculty of Tourism, students of Slovenian and English programmes got to know each other better, socialized and had fun. After the Mix and mingle event, they attended one of the most famous student concerts/parties in Slovenia Škisova tržnica. Laughter and good mood were not lacking this time, so we will definitely repeat this one next study year.

Dear students.

We provide a notice that the UM Management Board has approved free exams to increase the grades. The number of free exams depends on the duration (number of years) of the study program at each level of study by acquiring the right to two free approaches for each year at each level. Students can benefit from all free approaches at any time during their studies at each stage.

Students who join the commission exam in the 2021/22 academic year to increase their grades are not charged for these approaches.

The limit, linked to the number of free approaches to the exam to increase the grade, will apply to students in the academic year 2022/23, regardless of whether or not the student has approached to increase the grade in the past.

Every year on April 7, we celebrate World Health Day. We will now traditionally celebrate FT Health Day as part of Health Week.

Dear students,

We would like to inform you that a strike in the education sector has been announced for Wednesday, 9 March 2022. There will be no study process on the day of the strike.

Sincerely,

prof. dr. Zdravko Kačič,
Rector of the University of Maribor

Dear students!

Recent events in Ukraine remind us that peace is not self-evident. In the academic community, we resolutely reject any violence, no matter what the cause and motive for it. Violence has never solved any problem.

At our faculty, we have students from Ukraine who are safe, but I believe they need help, one way or another. Many of us have professional colleagues and acquaintances in Ukraine. Some are on their way to the EU, but they do not yet know what they will do there. We also have students and colleagues from Russia who are in distress because of the events they have no control over and the stigma that is coming. Please maintain your dignity. Let’s judge people by actions, not by affiliation.

I ask you to help our academic members from Ukraine to the best of your ability, whatever help they or their loved ones need. The Student Council of the Faculty, together with colleagues from the Rectorate, will coordinate the collection of needs and assistance; the entire faculty management is also at your disposal.

Thank you for your help.

With best regards,

assoc. prof. dr. Boštjan Brumen, the dean of Faculty of Tourism UM
