Most information can be found on the Admissions subpage. A list of study programs is available HERE.

The required documents are specified in the Call for Applications, published at least six months before the start of classes for undergraduate programs, and at least three months before the start of classes for graduate programs.

An entrance examination is required only for admission to graduate programs for applicants who have completed a corresponding professional study program.

No, except for students enrolled in a bridging semester/year when entering a graduate program.

Full-time students do not pay tuition fees if they are enrolling in the first year for the first time, or if they have earned 55 or more ECTS credits in the previous academic year.

The enrollment fee for the first year of undergraduate and graduate programs is EUR 55.00, while the enrollment fee for each subsequent year of undergraduate and graduate study is EUR 35.00.

The fee covers student insurance, funding for the Student Council of FFTB, the Tehnologijada, student associations, and various administrative costs.

A full-time student studies according to the full course load. A part-time student covers the full cost of their studies.
