Study tracks:

A-B-C
A-C1-C2
- Language A – the level of mother tongue
- Language B – the active knowledge
- Language C – the passive knowledge

Language B indicates that interpreting is practised from and into this language, while language C indicates that interpreting goes only from language C into language A. The numbers attached to the C (e.g. C1, C2) indicate different languages, e.g. German, Slovene, English, French. Two of the chosen languages must necessarily be Slovene and German. The third language can be: English or French. Not all languages are going to be offered every year. Language A at the University of Ljubljana is always Slovene; languages B, C1 and C2 can be either English, German or French.
