Social Program LJUBLJANA: Social program is carried through by representatives of all faculty fields, not just medical one. During the summer months (July - September) we organize afternoon activities every day from Monday till Friday (including parties almost every day) and also a weekend trip every week. Through the rest of the year the social program is not so intense and it depends on the free time (studies and other obligations) of the students.

MARIBOR: same as above, there is one of the
biggest multicultural festivals in Europe, Festival Lent, going on in july every year.
Substitutions LJUBLJANA & MARIBOR: Substitutes should preferrably be of same sex and must accept the same period, city and department as the original applicant. Substitutions must send their information at least 1 month before the clerkship starts.
Cancellations LJUBLJANA & MARIBOR: We prefer substitution to cancellations. The substitute student must be the same sex and accept the same department and period of clerkship. If a student is delayed for 7 days or more, his/her clerkship may be cancelled, unless the prior agreement has been obtained from SloMSIC National Exchange Officer.
Visas The visa procedure should be started about 2 months prior to arrival! Student should apply for tourist visa if possible. The other option is a study visa which can take up to 2 months. It is recommended, that students who need visa send the AFs before the 20.2. because this allows us to prepare the ILs and take them with us to the MM.

It is important to inform us (on provided contacts) about your actions concerning obtaining visa so we can advice and assist you!
