The academic year 2024/2025 is officially divided into two semesters, namely the winter (fall) and summer (spring) semesters. However, due to the organisation of courses and examination periods, there are no holidays or breaks between semesters. The winter semester officially commences on 1 October 2025 and concludes on 6 February 2026. The examination periods are scheduled at the conclusion of each course. The spring semester officially begins on 9 February 2026 and ends on 5 June 2026. The spring examination period follows at the end of the spring semester.
Please note that the Faculty of Medicine will confirm your mobility and schedule according to the courses selected in your Learning Agreement. It is possible that the time period of your mobility may not coincide with the exact time frame of the semesters.
General Information
The Faculty of Medicine is pleased to offer the Erasmus+ exchange programme in Medicine and Dental Medicine. A selection of courses is available, which are delivered in English. These courses are offered from the third year onwards. Students in their final year are also permitted to undertake clinical practice in the following specialties: internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics and gynaecology and obstetrics. The first two clinical practices are available throughout the academic year, while the latter two are only offered during specific time periods (please refer to the documents below).
Due to the increasing number of Erasmus+ incoming students in the final year, it has become necessary to limit the number of available places for Erasmus+ students in certain courses: Mental diseases, Skin and Venereal Diseases, Gynaecology and obstetrics, Clinical paediatrics and Public health. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

How to choose the courses?
A selection of obligatory courses is offered to Erasmus+ students (see below for details). In addition, a selection of elective courses is available, which students may choose from. In order to select courses, students must provide a Learning Agreement when submitting their online application, which must be confirmed by both the student and their home institution. Courses from years four and five combine practical and theoretical elements, and all end with an obligatory final examination.
Students may choose courses from different study years, as long as there is no time collision between the selected courses. Only such courses will be confirmed to the student. Please see the schedule of courses posted for each academic year. Note that courses are organised in English only during a selected time frame, and no alternatives are possible.
End of Mobility
Upon completion of the Mobility programme, students will be awarded the final transcript of records. This will be based on their signed learning agreement and examination records from their study exchange in Ljubljana. The transcript will also include information about any clinical practice undertaken during the exchange, as well as the duration of the mobility. It will be prepared on the basis of the courses from our curriculum. Students will receive the final transcript upon their departure.
Erasmus+ Exchange Program 2025/2026
In the academic year 2025/2026, the fifth year of the reformed curriculum in Medicine and Dental Medicine will be introduced. This will result in a change to the selection of courses. The courses will be organised in English for exchange students. Please refer to the documents below for further information. Please note that students are permitted to combine courses from different years, provided there is no time conflict.
Sixth-year clinical practices/internships in Internal Medicine and Surgery are generally organised on an individual basis (when students have a free time slot in their schedule) and are available to students in their final year. Other students can only undertake internships if they have already passed the general theoretical part of their speciality, as proven by their transcript of records.
Due to the large number of incoming students, it is advisable for all students to submit their online application as soon as possible. Students in their second semester should submit their application as soon as possible, rather than waiting for the second semester deadline.
