BROCHURE FOR INCOMING ERASMUS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Seat of Science and Wisdom for the Future BROCHURE FOR INCOMING ERASMUS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS The European Law Faculty of the New University is based in Slovenia, which is a vibrant modern European country, located in the heart of Europe between the Adriatic Sea, Julian Alps and Pannonian plains. The European Faculty of Law has campuses both in Nova Gorica and Ljubljana. It strives for excellence in education in the field of law, interdisciplinary law and infrastructure and real estate management. At the New University European Faculty of Law we are aware that democratic institutions are a precondition for the existence and survival of any nation and state. Their quality depends on the people who co-create and shape the rule of law on a daily basis, both in the public administration and in the private sector. Teaching and research at the New University European Faculty of Law is therefore based on the values of human dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity and pluralism, and on the principles of constitutional democracy and the rule of law.

At the New University European Faculty of Law, we place students at the centre of our teaching and activities through lectures and tutorials in small groups, and above all through dialogical discussions between professors and students. The advantage of our Faculty is our excellent academic staff, which perfectly combines theoretical and practical approaches to teaching. Many of our professors work every day at various levels of Slovenian state institutions and/or exercise different legal professions in the private sector. Additionally, the European Faculty Law and its professors have also been very much connected with its partner institutions in Europe and beyond.

At the New University European Faculty of Law, we are proud of our graduates who have achieved excellent results in the state bar exam in recent years. We are also proud of our professors and researchers, who are among the best and most frequently cited Slovenian researchers in the field of law. We are committed to educational and research excellence based on mutual respect between students, professional staff, members of the

academic board and management. Students and graduates of the European Law Faculty of the New University are the main reason for our existence and also the hope for the improvement of the functioning of the rule of law in Slovenia, Europe and beyond.
