incoming Exchange students’ impressions
Lukas Deu, incoming undergraduate Erasmus exchange student
University: FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences; Austria
To join the Faculty of Tourism means joining a family. The working spirit feels special and I was able to engage in some interesting discussions with the lecturers. The classes were very interesting and fun to participate in due to the high amount of practical work in classes (projects and seminar papers). After my stay in Brežice I am now even more convinced to work in tourism. The lecturers were really professional and taught me important information for my future career path. A lot of the new knowledge is directly applicable in the profession I want to work in.
Debora Gambaletta, incoming postgraduate student
University: Sveučilište Jurja Dobrile u Puli, Fakultet ekonomije i turizma "Dr. Mijo Mirković", Croatia
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.
The 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.
erasmus+ buddy exchange programme
International students receive a contact of their faculty buddy before they exchange, so they can connect before the student arrives in Slovenia. The task of the ‘buddy’ is to help the Erasmus+ student deal with everyday hurdles (e.g. public transportation, telecommunications, subsidised student meals, etc.) or any study-related questions (information on the course, study materials, lecturers, etc.)
As we encourage students to socialise, the ‘buddy’s’ other important task is to help introduce the student to other Faculty of Tourism students.
studying abroad
Studying abroad with Erasmus+
The Erasmus+ programme enables students to complete a part of their study requirements, at any level or cycle of study (including the preparation of undergraduate, master’s and doctoral theses, but excluding research that is not part of study requirements), at a partner institution abroad. Students may complete a part of their study requirements at partner institutions in Erasmus+ programme countries, that is, institutions which have signed the Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement on student exchange for that academic year and for a relevant field of study.
International students studying in English (part-time) study programmes can also go on an Erasmus exchange.
For more information on the Erasmus+ programme and assistance with application, students can contact Erasmus coordinator for students:
FT UM has around 40 Erasmus+ partner institutions in several countries. List is available in the table below and here:

internships and traineeships abroad
Why not undertake a internship (work placement) abroad and learn first-hand how tourism works in other countries? Or gain your first valuable experience after graduating on a traineeship abroad? During their studies, students may undertake internship (a work placement) abroad, but the content of practical training must be agreed with the FT UM internship coordinator.
You can also do a traineeship abroad. One of the key conditions is that you still have active student status at your home faculty at the time of application, and that you undertake the mobility within 12 months of completing your undergraduate or postgraduate degree. For more information please contact Erasmus coordinator at FT UM.
