Enrollment of students from EU/EEA member countries

WHAT

The process of enrollment in university, faculty, professional college, short-cycle college or academy is a process all students wanting to enter tertiary education programmes must follow. If you are a citizen of a EU/EEA member country, you can enroll under the same conditions as the citizens of the Republic of Slovenia.

WHO

Citizens of EU/EEA member countries with 12 or 13 years of schooling (primary school and secondary school education) who have successfully completed the general or vocational matura examination (or equivalent education in their country of origin) or fulfill other enrollment requirements of specific study programmes.

WHEN

There is a number of enrollment dates.
Look up the deadlines given in the call for enrollment: date of tests of special talents, abilities and skills, deadline for submitting additional documentation (proof of completed education for the purpose of further education in Slovenia), deadline for passing the Slovenian language exam, if required by the programme, etc.

STEPS

STEP 1: Enrollment vacancies are published in the call for enrollment (in English): http://portal.evs.gov.si/information-in-english. The call for enrollment is published in February or by the end of March and includes information on study programmes, enrollment requirements, application deadlines and enrollment process.

STEP 2: Complete your application through the eVŠ portal (in Slovenian): https://portal.evs.gov.si/prijava/

Video instructions on the registration and first login in the eVŠ portal (in Slovenian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oNCz0llZK4

After you have completed your e-application via the eVŠ web portal using a username and password, you need to print and sign it and then send it by the given deadline by registered mail along with all required documents (the recipients’ address is indicated in the top left corner of the application). If you have a digital certificate (only Slovenian digital certificates apply), you do not need to print and send the application by registered mail (but you do need to send the required documentation specified in the call for enrollment).

If you already have the certificate of your completed education received abroad, you are required to send the translated and notarized copies of these documents. For more information, contact directly the higher education institutions where you wish to study.

STEP 3: In case of a limited enrollment, the selection criteria include the general secondary school results (3rd and 4th year) and the general results of the general or vocational matura examination. If one of the enrollment criteria includes certain talents, abilities or skills, the results of these tests are also considered.
