Application and enrolment

Enrolment in the interdisciplinary doctoral study programme Biomedicine is open to candidates who have completed:

·         a second-cycle study programme;

·         a study programme leading to professions regulated by EU directives, or another integrated master's degree programme evaluated at 300 ECTS credits;

·         a study programme leading to an academic higher education qualification, adopted before 11 June 2004;

·         a master of science degree or a study programme leading to specialisation, if the candidate has previously completed a programme leading to an academic higher education qualification. Course units totalling 60 ECTS credits are recognised for these candidates based on their application, as provided by law,

·         a study programme leading to a specialisation following a completed professional higher education programme. Additional study requirements for individual fields totalling 30 to 60 ECTS credits are determined for these candidates by the Biomedicine Programme Council.

Enrolment in the doctoral programme is also open to graduates of foreign universities. The equivalence of previously acquired education in a foreign country will be established by means of the procedure for the recognition of foreign qualifications for the purposes of further education in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

Candidates must apply for the call for applications on the eVŠ online portal.

If it is determined that the candidate needs to complete the application, they will be asked to do so via the eVŠ online portal to the email address provided in the application for enrollment.

Completion of the previous studies is not a condition for applying for doctoral studies, but it is a condition for enrollment in the study program. Candidates who, at the time of application, will not have completed their previous studies, must submit the relevant documents via the eVŠ portal immediately after completing their studies. The deadline for the submission of these proofs is expected to be in the first half of September 2024, and will be finally determined by the Statistics Program Council at the meeting, which is expected to be 24 August 2024.
