The Uni-versity of Ljubljana is a public institution and the larg-est university in Slovenia, while the FELU is one of the university’s biggest schools. It is the leading institu-tion of higher education in business and economics in Slovenia with a well-established brand in Europe and worldwide.
The highest standards of quality are paramount to the FELU, and it is therefore engaged in the process of international accreditation. In 2006, the FELU be-came the first business school in Southeast Europe to be awarded the EQUIS accreditation. Since 2010, the FELU has held both EQUIS and AACSB accreditations.
FROM A REGIONAL LEADER TO A GLOBAL EUROPEAN SCHOOLThe FELU’s vision for 2020 is to grow from a region-al leader to a globally recognised school of business and economics in Europe. While the FELU’s position as the regional leader has been retained, its renewed focus is on global markets. With this shift, the FELU is positioning itself in the strategic group of globally recognised schools holding both EQUIS and AACSB accreditations.
MissionTo develop principled leaders for work in a global-ly competitive business environment by combining economics and business education with innovative research while creating and disseminating knowl-edge in a global society.

Dear FELU friends,
The new academic year has started and, while writ-ing this message, the FELU campus is alive with our numerous students from Slovenia and abroad. The FELU has become a place where enthusiasm for business and economics is highly valued. Everyone involved with the FELU is guided by our five core values: integrity, cooperation, responsibility, knowl-edge, and academic freedom. The 2013/14 Annual Report presents our accom-plishments, aspirations, and capacities of our facul-ty members. Our service to society is underpinned by the three pillars of sustainability: people, planet, and profit. With 187 international partners from 44 countries around the world, the FELU is a symbol of Slovenian academic internationalisation. The FELU’s intellectual spirit offers a variety of research oppor-tunities in economics, management, business, and finance. I’m very proud of our members who serve on prominent international boards, creating and disseminating knowledge of our future society. Our faculty and students are exposed to cross-cultural experiences. They seek out innovative solutions to real-world problems, develop into global thinkers, and keep in touch with the latest economic and busi-ness findings. A substantial number of workshops
have been conducted at the FELU over the last ac-ademic year, all aiming to enhance the knowledge and skills of our faculty and inspire our students. Our alumni include fellows from all sectors at home and abroad.
Finally, the FELU is also placing an emphasis on important socio-economic challenges Slovenia is facing. In February 2014, the Corporate Integrity Guidelines were presented along with our partners in accordance with the Good Practice Guidance on Internal Controls, Ethics and Compliance.
I conclude my introduction with the promise that the FELU will continue to focus on each student’s lifelong success and develop principled leaders to serve their communities in a global business environment.
Dear colleagues, I hope you find the 2013/14 FELU Annual Report interesting and worthwhile reading.

DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMMESA Double Degree is an approved combined study programme leading to two degrees from two uni-versities. After successfully completiing all the pro-gramme requirements, FELU students receive a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree from the FELU as well as a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree from the
partner universities. The FELU is highly selective in its choice of partner universities, adding only high profile, research-oriented and accredited universities to its list. The FELU offers three 1st cycle double de-gree programmes and six 2nd cycle double degree programmes.
“The year I spent in Korea gave me much more than yet another degree. It gave me the opportunity to broaden my horizons, learn about other cultures and enriched me with life experience. I also gained a new per-spective about myself and my own culture and how the world sees Slo-venia. Besides studying, there was time for traveling and spending time with new friends. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and the amount of trust and support I received from the Faculty of Economics.”

“My first year at the FELU was very similar to the basic market eco-nomic theory of Supply and Demand. The more intertwined with other students, the staff and members of the faculty I have become, the more I’ve gained throughout this past year. Knowledge-wise and experi-ence-wise. The curriculum is engaging and immediately applicable in practice. Judging from what I’ve experienced, I think we all got drawn into this vertigo of excitement that is the Faculty of Economics in Lju-bljana, the staff and students alike.”

NEW KNOWLEDGE FOR FUTURE SUCCESSThe FELU’s student community is the largest in Slo-venia. In order to provide its students with the best possible career and personal development, the FELU has carefully chosen the programmes and activities aimed at producing new knowledge. FELU students are guided by the FELU’s core values where the em-phasis is on Integrity, Cooperation, Responsibility, Knowledge and Academic Freedom. What distin-guishes FELU students from other universities’ grad-uates is not just the training of their minds, but also their Global and Social mind-set.
THE FELU SPIRITBased on its longstanding tradition, strong interna-tional relations, wide range of full- and part-time pro-grammes, great corporate connections, awards for excellence etc., the FELU attracts a diverse student population from Slovenia, and from all around the globe. With 1,561 international students annually, the FELU is a symbol of academic internationalisation in Slovenia.
Our students do not regard the FELU as just another educational institution – they see it as offering some-thing beyond education and training. Our best pro-moters are our students and it is through their testi-monies that the FELU’s true spirit is revealed.
“I have spent three wonderful years at the Faculty of Economics, giving me a lot of knowledge and many new friends. In this period of time I have learned a lot of things which I wouldn’t have anywhere else. The Faculty has provided me with a wide range of experiences in vari-ous fields, which I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Because I have had such a great experience and gained so much knowledge, I’ll continue my study here at the faculty.”

BROADENING HORIZONSThe FELU is building an open-minded student so-ciety. FELU students are offered courses by distin-guished academics that encourage them to think and act. The students have multiple opportunities to collect and gain international experience during their study programme. Students can learn vital aspects of the Chinese language and culture participate in na-tional and international projects, join students from all around the world in the FELU’s Summer Schools etc. All of this comes with just one aim, to broaden our students’ horizons and enable them to grow in all respects, professionally and personally.
The FELU encourages students to become involved in various activities related to their study and con-nected with their future career. The FELU’s Centre for Student and Career Services (CERŠ) helps students with their learning process, the development of per-sonal and professional skills, and career planning. Therefore, personal student development is integrat-ed into regular course work. In 2013/14 CERŠ organ-ised numerous workshops aimed at developing stu-dents’ learning and communication skills, and their overall effectiveness
STUDENTS’ ACTIVITIESStudent Council is the link between the FELU, Uni-versity and the FELU students. Through the Council students are able to participate in the FELU’s bodies and share their opinions, comments and proposals.
The FELU provides a well-developed tutorship pro-gramme for a wide range of its students:
• organisational support for introductory tutorship;
• course-specific tutorship;
• tutorship for students with special needs;
• support for student internship programmes;
• tutorship for international students.
Strong support for student associations active at the FELU is also offered. The majority of our students are active members of at least one student association. Their aim is to bring together ambitious individuals with exciting new ideas and to further develop their potential.
To name just a few of such active student associa-tions: the FELU Student Organisation, the FELU news, Management group, the FELU Sports Club, Young Project Managers, Students’ section of the Marketing Association of Slovenia, Debating society of the FELU etc.
BETA GAMMA SIGMA CHAPTER (BGS) As an institution accredited by the AACSB, the FELU recently established its own Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) chapter (named “Klub BGS EF”). Installation of the Chapter coincided with the first induction cer-emony in January 2012. Invitations to join the BGS are received by the best students of their generation in AACSB-accredited business degree programmes. The induction ceremony is held once a year in spring. More than 100 FELU students join the BGS every year, with the ceremony thus being dedicated to honour them.
“After being awarded two of the most prestigious international business school accreditations, the next logical step for the FELU was to give its best students and graduates the opportunity to join the BGS network. Their outstanding scholastic achievements can now be rewarded by a lifelong membership in this select group of ‘the best in business’. The BGS designation sets individuals apart from the crowd and gives them an extra edge in the highly competitive international en-vironment.”

GREAT CORPORATE CONNECTIONSFor many years the FELU has cooperated with the business community in shaping the academic study process. The FELU includes the business community in several ways, such us: the FELU Advisory Board, guest speakers, guest participation in selecting the-sis topics, case studies & projects, conferences, on-site company visits etc.
The FELU has formalised many of its corporate connections through long-term partnership con-tracts. Overall, however, the decades of developing high-quality relationships with the business com-munity have resulted in strong social capital for the FELU which is revealed whenever the FELU needs support from the business community, e.g. in finding sponsors for events, recruiting guest lecturers, par-ticipating in research surveys etc.
By hosting experts from the business world during lectures, creating business and case studies com-missioned by companies, suggesting thesis topics (bachelor’s and master’s levels), organising student visits to individual companies etc., the FELU is bol-stering its connections with the business world.
In 2013/14, this interface with business included the following:
• 172 guest speakers from business and the professions;
• 61 lecturers, including experts who took part in the context of academies, seminars and workshops for middle and top management of lifelong learning, plus 15 foreign professors and 30 FELU professors;
• 17 company visits and excursions;
• 268 internships that were completed in Slovenia and 55 abroad.

SUSTAINING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INTEGRITYWith knowledge, integrity and innovation the FELU creates and contributes to sustainable development.
The FELU aspires to develop ethically responsible students who respect their social and natural envi-ronments as reflected in the FELU’s mission, vision and values. The FELU’s Ethics Committee, a core part of the FELU’s integrity structure, is responsible for in-tegrity management and coordinating the initiatives of actors whose activities have an impact on the or-ganisational members’ integrity.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE MAJORITY OF COURSES AND IN OVERALL CURRICULASocial responsibility within the FELU’s education pro-grammes is one of the FELU’s main goals. The FELU creates educational frameworks, materials, process-es and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership. In addition, all business-related tracks at the undergraduate and graduate levels have a specific social-responsi-bility-related learning goal and supportive learning objectives. Ethics, social and environmental respon-sibility, or sustainability topics, are integrated into undergraduate and graduate theses as well as doc-toral dissertations.
ENSURING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIESThe FELU is committed to providing a fair environ-ment that embodies and promotes equality opportu-nities for all members.
PRINCIPLES FOR RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENTThe FELU has committed itself to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and the Six Principles advocated by the United Nations’ Responsible Management Education initiative. The PRME promote responsible management educa-tion and thought leadership. The primary objective is to develop a new generation of business leaders capable of managing the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century. In Sep-tember 2013, we participated in the PRME Summit – the 5th Annual Assembly, which was held in Bled, Slovenia.
CODE OF ETHICSIn line with the FELU’s mission of creating and dis-seminating knowledge, the FELU implements a Code of Ethics. It is aimed at guiding the behaviour of the FELU academic community.

CORPORATE INTEGRITY GUIDELINESThe four partner institutions – the Chamber of Com-merce and Industry of Slovenia (CCIS), the Managers’ Association of Slovenia, the Slovenian Directors’ As-sociation (SDA) and the Faculty of Economics, Uni-versity of Ljubljana (FELU) – publicly presented the document Corporate Integrity Guidelines in order to provide guidance and guidelines for companies that want to establish business in accordance with the Good Practice Guidance on Internal Controls, Ethics and Compliance.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY COMMUNICATIONThe FELU’s faculty members are important opin-ion-makers and their professional relevance is re-flected in the positive publicity they generate. Pro-fessors regularly publish articles or present their professional positions, commentaries and opinions in the media.
In order to foster sustainable growth, the FELU em-braces the concept of sustainability as its identity in its interaction with all stakeholders (students, em-ployees, business partners, society). This is shown by the efficient and creative use of all possible re-sources. The FELU promotes debates, international meetings, conferences, lectures and forums in order to enhance awareness of social responsibility. For ex-ample, a dialogue with students takes place through
the monthly newsletter featuring a section on sus-tainability, and through the FELU’s “Corporate Social Responsibility” webpage, as well as by partnering with companies that promote corporate responsibil-ity. The FELU’s academic community serves the val-ues of integrity, cooperation, responsibility, knowl-edge and academic freedom through projects and website Our values.

THE FELU CAMPUSThe FELU campus is located in the northern part of the capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana and is easily ac-cessible by car or public transport (city bus lines).
THE FELU’S MAIN CAMPUS FACILITIESThe FELU’s main campus facilities are well-equipped, maintained and adjusted to suit the needs of peo-ple with disabilities (e.g. sliding doors, ramps etc.). There are four big lecture halls, 46 classrooms, eight computer rooms – six of which are used for teaching purposes, while the other two provide FELU students with free access to computer equipment. Moreover, the well-maintained grounds give the FELU campus its own character and feel.
To support the use of contemporary teaching and learning methods, all teaching halls and classrooms are equipped with multimedia equipment. In addi-tion, the FELU has a campus-wide IT infrastructure and computer network that connects 740 comput-ers that are used by the faculty, staff and students. There are over 120 computers in the computer rooms, more than 50 computers in the lecture rooms which are used in the teaching process, more than 30 computers in the Central Economics Library (CEK) and another 80 computers that are freely accessi-ble to students (most of them during the library’s opening hours). The FELU also built multifunctional study room, and a new computer lab. A new firewall system and policy ensuring greater security were established.
All computers have Internet access and are equipped with all software relevant to the teaching process. The FELU provides free wireless access to students with their own equipment (laptops or handheld com-puters) throughout the campus.
THE FELU ABROADApart from the main campus in Ljubljana (Slovenia), the FELU operates in Prishtina (Kosovo), and in Skop-je (Macedonia).
In Prishtina, the FELU’s facilities include three class-rooms with all necessary equipment, one computer room, and a small open-access library. In Skopje, lectures are held on the premises of the Skopje Fair with one Diplomatic Hall and a computer room. Both classrooms are equipped with an LCD and a microphone system. One classroom is fitted with multimedia equipment.
CENTRAL ECONOMICS LIBRARY (CEK) The Central Economics Library (CEK) is the leading and largest scientific and academic library for busi-ness and economics studies in Slovenia. It is an active member of the COBISS national library and informa-tion system and the COSEC national library consor-tium. CEK supports the needs of faculty members, students and researchers and is available to anyone who may find it useful.
Ivan Kanič, Head of the CEK: “The CEK’s resources are comparable to those of the very best economics faculties.”
The FELU has invested a lot in assuring web access to a well-balanced selection of important databases and e-journals. In addition, the library maintains an extensive and efficient inter-library loan and docu-ment supply service with a number of prominent academic libraries on the national and internation-al level. In order to facilitate efficient and adequate information on European integration processes, the library includes a special department, the European Documentation Centre (EDC), which was co-found-ed as part of a national research project.

PUBLISHINGThe FELU has a long tradition of publishing scientific and professional publications, university textbooks, and professional monographs in both Slovenian and English. The FELU is also home of the Economic and Business Review journal. In 2013 the first success-ful monograph in the Slovenian language Napredni management (Advanced Management) was pub-lished in the “Maksima” book series. In 2014, in the same book series the FELU published a Slovenian book “Zgodovinski primeri kot zgledi za današn-je mednarodno poslovanje” (Historical examples as role models for today’s international business). The book is particularly valuable because it describes historical views and patterns of modern international business from the time of the Phoenicians onwards.
ART ENTHUSIASTS – THE FELU ART GALLERYThe FELU strives to provide a cultural experience for the students, faculty members and visitors that en-courage openness and new ways of seeing and think-ing. Therefore, the FELU Art Gallery is a space re-served for creative, innovative and abstract thought.
Altogether, the FELU has hosted over 130 exhibitions, many of which featured young Slovenian artists: painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators and ceramicists.
