Progression and completion requirements

Advancement into the next year

A student of the first-cycle professional higher education programme Applied Electrical Engineering may enrol:

• in the second year, if by the enrolment deadline they have completed all first-year obligations, with the exception of one outstanding course;
• in the third year, if by the enrolment deadline they have completed all first-year obligations and all second-year obligations, with the exception of one outstanding second-year course.

In accordance with the Statute of the University of Ljubljana, a student may exceptionally enrol in a higher year even if they have not fulfilled all prescribed obligations for progression, provided they have justified reasons. Such reasons include maternity or parenthood, prolonged illness, exceptional family or social circumstances, recognised status of a person with special needs, active participation in top-level professional, cultural, or sporting events, or active participation in the bodies of the University.

Decisions on exceptional enrolment based on a student’s submitted application are taken by the Student Applications Committee of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana.

Repeating a year

In accordance with the legislation and the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana, a student may repeat a programme of study only once during the period of study, and a change of study programme due to failure to fulfil the requirements of the previous study programme (transfer) shall also be considered a repetition.

To re-enrol in the same year, students must complete:

• at least half of the requirements of this year – at least 30 ECTS,
• all previous years’ commitments.

Completing your studies

Students shall complete their studies when they have completed all the prescribed requirements of the study programme to a total of 180 credits.

WARNING! If a student loses his/her status before completing all study requirements except the final thesis, he/she must pay for the defence in accordance with the UL price list.

The exception are students who:

• have completed all the requirements for studies other than the final thesis before losing the status; and
• have an approved thesis topic within six months of losing student status.

In this case, the student may complete the studies without payment, but no later than two years after losing the status.
