Candidates may enrol in the doctoral study programme in Electrical Engineering if they have completed one of the following:

• a second-cycle (Master’s) study programme;
• a study programme qualifying for professions regulated by EU directives or another integrated Master’s degree programme evaluated at 300 ECTS credits;
• a university study programme adopted before 11 June 2004;
• a Master of Science programme, whereby candidates are recognised 60 ECTS credits for completed study obligations;
• a specialisation programme, provided they have previously completed a university study programme adopted before 11 June 2004; candidates are recognised 60 ECTS credits for completed study obligations;
• a specialisation programme, provided they have previously completed a professional higher education programme adopted before 11 June 2004, and have completed additional study obligations totalling 36 ECTS credits, as determined by the competent committee of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. These obligations consist of first-year second-cycle Electrical Engineering courses: four compulsory professional courses (depending on the study track) and two elective professional courses;
• an equivalent programme at another university. Equivalence of foreign education is assessed through the recognition procedure for continuation of education, in accordance with the Statute of the University of Ljubljana.

Selection criteria in the event of limited enrolment

When selecting candidates, academic performance in second-cycle studies is taken into account as follows:

• average grade of the second-cycle study programme, excluding the grade of the Master’s thesis with defence, or the average grade of a university study programme adopted before 11 June 2004, excluding the grade of the diploma thesis with defence (grade × 7);
• grade of the Master’s thesis with defence, or the grade of the diploma thesis with defence of a university study programme adopted before 11 June 2004 (grade × 3).

In the event of limited enrolment, candidates with a higher total number of points will be selected.

Notification and enrolment procedure

Candidates will be notified of the selection results and enrolment procedure at the beginning of September. Prior to enrolment, the student must select a mentor and submit the mentor’s written consent to undertake mentorship, together with a conceptual outline of the research work, no later than at enrolment. The mentor advises the student on course selection and provides guidance throughout the study.
