If the number of applications is greater than the number of announced enrolment slots, a decision on enrolment limitation can be adopted.

Based on the scales of grades in the individual countries and the rules on the evaluation of foreign secondary school academic performance, the Higher Education Application-Information Service converts the grades from a foreign certificate into the Slovene grading system (https://www.uni-lj.si/study/information/enrolment-recognition/).

No, there are no entrance examinations. If more candidates apply than there are enrolment slots, candidates will be selected on the basis of their academic performance in secondary school and their performance in the ability, capacity and skills tests, if the degree programme so requires.

Candidates who are Slovenians without Slovenian citizenship and also the citizens of an EU Member State can send two filled in application forms on-line, one as a Slovenian without Slovenian citizenship and the other as a citizen of a European Union Member State. If the candidate is accepted with both applications they have to choose a degree programme in which they would like to enrol.
