On Monday, 13 October 2025, Academia held its traditional induction day for international students, attended by a record number of participants. In the 2025/26 academic year more than 20 students from 24 countries joined Academia – from Austria, Belarus, Brazil, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Croatia, Italy, Israel, Jordan, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Nepal, North Macedonia, Morocco, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Tunisia, Thailand, the United States and Zimbabwe – confirming Academia's status as the most internationally oriented short-cycle higher education institution in Slovenia.
The event took place in Maribor and via Google Meet for those still preparing to arrive. Principal mag. Vida Perko and managing director Žan Dapčevič stressed the value of cultural diversity, international cooperation and the global connections students from different continents bring.
Participants received key information on the study process, support services, language requirements and student life. Particular attention was paid to learning Slovenian: students who have already reached level B1 study together with Slovenian students, while the others attend a preparatory Slovenian course until they pass their first exam in the programme.
