  • Average grade for all four years of high school and the final exam for three subjects: Croatian language, history, and one foreign language. Each subject is evaluated separately (excellent average /5/ yields 6 points; very good /4/ yields 5 points; good /3/ yields 3 points).

Knowledge on the entrance exam is verified with tests in three subjects: religious education, Croatian language and literature, and history. Essay writing on one of three proposed topics. Consultative interview with expert members of the Committee on the applicant's motivation for the study. Evaluation of the applicant's special activities:

Types and levels of study programmes delivered in higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia are prescribed by the Act on Higher Education and Scientific Activity (Official Gazette 119/22). 

University study programmes are organised and implemented at the university and comprise the following: 

  • university undergraduate study programmes (180 ECTS), 
  • university graduate study programmes (120 ECTS)
  • university integrated undergraduate and graduate study programmes (300 ECTS), 
  • doctoral study programmes (180 ECTS).

A professional development programme for the purpose of lifelong learning shall not be considered a study programme, and may be funded through the voucher system for the purpose of participation in the workforce.

Bologna Process

The Bologna Declaration was a common declaration of the European education ministers singed in 1999 in Bologna, which marked the process of higher education reform known today as the Bologna Process. The Republic of Croatia signed the Bologna Declaration in 2001.

The aims of the Bologna Process are:

  • Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, among other things by introducing Diploma Supplements, in order to improve the employability of the European citizens and the international competitiveness of the European Higher Education Area.
  • Adoption of a system essentially based on two main cycles, undergraduate and graduate. Graduation from the first cycle, in the duration of at least three years, is a precondition for enrolment to the second cycle. The qualification awarded after the first cycle should be aligned with the levels recognized at the European labour market. The second cycle leads to the master/doctoral cycle, as is the case in many European countries.
  • Establishment of a system of credits, such as the ECTS, as an adequate mechanism for promoting student mobility. The credits can be awarded outside the higher education system, and within the lifelong learning, if they are recognized by the host institution.
  • Facilitation of mobility includes removing obstacles to free movement, especially for: students, in access to higher education institutions and the connected services; teachers, researchers and administrative staff, in recognition and valorisation of periods spent in a European context researching, teaching and training, without prejudicing their statutory rights.
  • Promotion of European cooperation in quality assurance, aimed at assuring comparable standards and methodologies. Promoting the important European dimensions of higher education, especially in the development of curricula, interinstitutional cooperation, mobility programmes and joint study, education and research programmes.
