The University of Ljubljana (UL) is a HE
institution with the longest tradition in Slovenia; with more than 56,000
under- and post-graduate students, it is among the biggest in Europe. A total
of 22 faculties, 3 academies of art and 1 university college employ ca. 3500
teaching and research staff, assisted by ca. 900 technical and administrative
staff. The Department of Translation
was founded in 1997 when it became the only translation school in Europe with
Slovene as language A. The quality of the programme, the staff and their research
activity has been attested by various international organisations: in 2004 the
Department of Translation became a member of CIUTI, in 2005 a member of the
Consortium of European Masters in Conference Interpreting, and in 2009 a member
of the EMT network. In 2016 after thorough evaluation its doctoral programme
was accepted in the network of doctoral programmes in translation studies
within the framework of EST (European Society of Translation Studies). Department of Ethnology and Cultural
Anthropology offers seven specialised programmes of study for (pre-Bologna)
Master’s degrees (research masters in Ethnology of Slovenes, Ethnology of
Non-European Countries, Ethnological Museology, Ethnological Conservation,
Cultural Anthropology, Folklore, Comparative Mythology) and doctoral studies in
ethnology and cultural anthropology. The department also participates in the
joint master programme Creole: Cultural Differences and Transnational
Processes.
