Good to knowThis guide is put together by students, not by professionals or official bodies. It is meant to help you and your parents through enrolment and settling into life in Slovenia. Some details may change or become outdated, so always check the official sources and confirm anything important with the relevant institutions. We take no responsibility for wrong, outdated or misunderstood information — but we are always glad to help. If you spot something that is not right, please tell us in the “Was this page helpful?” box at the bottom of the page.

How the national bachelor system is structured

The first application period is the main route; later periods depend on remaining places and applicant category. In the first application, candidates rank programme preferences in order, and the system considers the first programme for which the applicant meets the conditions and has sufficient points.

Enrolment limits and points

An institution may introduce an enrolment limit (omejitev vpisa) when applications exceed places. Without a limit, applicants who meet the entry conditions are generally admitted. With a limit, applicants are ranked using published criteria such as final-exam or matura results, grades from selected years, specific subjects, and aptitude-test results. A Macedonian applicant must first satisfy recognition and access conditions.
