UL Ljubljana
At the beginning of the second year of the Master course, the class is split into 3 equal groups and one third spends its semester in “Univerza v Ljubljani” (UL) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The added-value value of this laboratory is synthesis of nanomaterials, carbon materials, post Li-ion batteries and upscaling.

Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology
It is difficult to imagine modern life without modern chemistry. Chemistry is a science which forms a bridge to biology, pharmacy and helps to better understand medicine. Without chemical engineering there could be no rational production of numerous products, which we normally take for granted.
Since 1994, chemistry studies have been organised within the framework of the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. Since 2009, the Faculty runs following programmes: three-year 1st cycle study programmes in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering and Technical Safety, all leading to university diploma, and a three-year 1st cycle study professional programme in Chemical Technology.
The Faculty also runs two-year 2nd cycle study programmes in Chemistry, Chemical Education, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering and Technical Safety and 3rd cycle study doctoral programme in Chemical Sciences.
Ljubljana
Slovenia's capital and largest city is one of Europe's greenest and most liveable capitals; it was the European Commission's Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city's heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. In summer, cafes set up terrace seating along the river; it almost feels like a nightly street party.
Slovenia's master of early-modern, minimalist design, Jože Plečnik, graced Ljubljana with beautiful bridges and buildings as well as dozens of urban design elements such as pillars, pyramids and lamp posts, which exist solely to make the city even prettier. Attractive cities are often described as 'jewel boxes', and here the name really fits. Some 50,000 students support an active clubbing scene, and Ljubljana's museums and restaurants are among the best in the country.
