Study requirements totalling at least 60 credits are recognised for such candidates in a third-cycle doctoral study programme.

Enrolment in the doctoral programme in Statistics 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 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 5 September 2024.

• grade point average in the former academic higher education programme or second-cycle studies, excluding the diploma or master’s thesis,

• diploma or master’s thesis grade.

In the event of restricted enrolment, candidates with a higher total score will be selected (sum of the grade point average and the diploma or master’s thesis grade).
