The [[University of Nova Gorica]], the fourth university to be founded in Slovenia, was established in 2006 on the foundations of the former Nova Gorica Polytechnic. The latter grew out of the School of Environmental Sciences, the first international graduate school in Slovenia, which was founded in 1995 by the [[Municipality of Nova Gorica]] and the [[Jožef Stefan Institute]] in Ljubljana.

The university offers numerous possibilities of international cooperation and mobility programmes to its students and staff members. At present, it is an active member of Erasmus+, CEEPUS, Erasmus Mundus and has numerous bilateral agreements with universities abroad. Moreover, the university also offers study programmes with the opportunity of a double diploma with renowned universities abroad (Cultural Heritage, 3rd level; Slovene Studies &ndash; orientation Linguistics, 2nd level; Environmental Sciences, 1st level), and one international joint study programme &ndash; the [[European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR)]].
