Eligibility

The right to enrol have:

• Applicants who have completed a professional or university bachelor study programme in the field of technical, natural and social science and have obtained 180 or more ECTS points;
• Applicants who have completed a higher education programme in the duration of less than three years, whereupon higher vocational education (cro. viša stručna sprema (VŠS)) is obtained along with a professional title equal to the corresponding professional title of bachelor (baccalaureus) or bachelor’s degree (baccalaurea) with an indication of profession.

Exceptionally, the right to enrol may be granted to applicants who have previously completed a study of an appropriate level that is not from the specified fields, with the mandatory completion of a preparatory programme that is considered suitable for enrolling in a master study programme and/or fulfilling certain distinctive obligations during the course of study.

Transfer of students:

The transfer of students from other professional or university studies is carried out in accordance with the Act on Higher Education and Scientific Activity, the Act on the Recognition and Assessment of Foreign Educational Qualifications, the Algebra University Statute and with the recognition of the ECTS points they have earned at the study programme at a higher education institution in Croatia or abroad, in accordance with the Book of Regulations on Academic Recognition of Algebra University. The tuition fee can be reduced in proportion to the number of recognised ECTS points for already passed courses.

Applicants who have not previously completed studies in the field of technical sciences, computer science or social sciences may be required to take a preparatory programme. The obligation and content of the preparatory programme is determined by reviewing the applicant’s documents. Within the preparatory programme, areas of knowledge and skills are defined, i.e. mandatory learning outcomes that must be acquired. Applicants who will be required to attend and take the exam for the preparatory programme, as a rule, must do so before enrolling in the study programme. The price of the preparatory programme is not included in the annual tuition fee but is charged additionally, according to the Decision on Reimbursement of Expenses.

Enrolment procedure

The enrolment procedure begins with an online application on the website of Algebra University. As part of the enrolment procedure, Algebra University will conduct an interview with each applicant and will analyse the success of the previous study, considering the average study grade and course grades, which are key to the successful continuation of studies, information and motivation for studies, and special achievements (competitions, projects, etc.). Depending on the type of previously completed study, the applicant will be offered a mandatory content of the preparatory programme within the enrolment procedure, as defined in the Admissions requirements from this Call. The content of the preparatory programme is adapted to the needs of applicants.

In addition, the admission requirement for all candidates enrolling in a course leading to an additional degree at Goldsmiths University, University of London and whose native language is not English is:

• passing IELTS with 6.5 overall score and at least 6.0 in each area tested or
• other comparable standardised test of English.

With candidates who have not passed the English language exam, and who are enroled in a study course after which only the Algebra University degree is exclusively obtained, the English language proficiency is confirmed during the interview.
