INFORMATION ON THE NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM IN CROATIA
Types ofinstitutions
uNrvERstrEs (sveudili5to) are institutions of higher education which offer university study
programmes in at least two research areas and/or art areas covering a number of disci-
plines. Exceptionally, universities may also offer vocational study programmes. Universities
may be comprised ofconstituent units which are legal entities and which are called recur-
rEs (fokulteti) oTARTACADEMIEs (umjetniike okodemije).Universities and their constituent
units offer study programmes, and engage in research and oth€r professional and art-relat-
ed work.
norvrecu rrcs (veleudiiiito) and scHooLs oF vocAroNAL H tcHsa roucrrtoN (visoke ikole)
are higher education institutions which offer vocational study Programmes. The two tyPes
of institution differ in the range of programmes they offer: polytechnics are institutions of
vocational hiqher education which offer vocational study programmes in three or more dis-
ciplines. Their mission is to offer career-oriented programmes, which often include practical
work experience.
Public universities are established by law; public polytechnics and schools of vocational
higher education are established by a decree of the croatian Covernment, private higher
education institutions are established by the founder.
Types ofprogrammes
uNtvERstil sruDy pRooRAM M Es prepare students forwork in research and higher education
institutions, as well as in private and public sectors. Students in these programmes receive
an education that enables them to develop and use scholarly and professional knowledge at
the appropriate level.
vocATroNAL sruDy pnocmvurs provide students with a career-ready level ofknowledge,
skills and competences required for work in specific vocations.
Accreditation ofhigher education institutions and study programmes
Higher education institutions (HEls) and th€ir study programmes are subject to an evalua-
tion process in order to get accreditation. The request for accreditation is submitted to the
l,4 inistry in charge ofhigher education, which then requests an evaluation from the National
Council for Higher Education (NcHE). The NcHE appoints an expert committee which, in
cooperation with the Agency for Science and Higher Education, Performs the evaluation and
submits a report. A draft report is then sent to the HEI for feedback and clarifications. The
National Council makes a final evaluation ofthe proposed study programme or ofthe higher
education institution and recommends to the minister issuance or denial ofaccreditation.
organisation of university study programmes
Since zoo5, all study programmes in Croatia measur€ student work load in tcrs credits. A
student is typically required to earn 6o ecrs credits in one academic year
uNrvERsril uNDERcRADUATE pRocRAMMEs- FlRsr cYcLE (preddiplomski sveutiliini studij)

which students are required to earn z4o rcrs credits. upon completion students are award-
ed a diploma and the academic degree ofUniversity Bachelor (sveuiiliini prvostupnik) with

demic degree of University Bachelor in Engineering (sveuii/i5ni prvostupnik inZenjer) with

second cycle programmes in medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine students receive
the academic degree of Doctor (doktor struke) with an indication Lfthe field of study (e.9.
Doctor of lvledicine, etc.)
Students with this degree can continue their studies in university postgraduate programmes
or enter the workforce.

postgraduate programme.
Educational requirements for admission into study programmes
Higher education institutions independently set the minimum educational requirements
for admission to university undergraduate programmes and first cycle vocational pro-
grammes. Normally, the minimum requirement for admission to university undergraduate
programmes is completion of a four-year secondary school; the minimum requirement for
enrolment into first cycle vocational programmes is completion ofa thre€- or four-year sec-
ondary school.
The admissions process to first cycle study pro!rammes at Croatian universities is normally
based on secondary school grades and an entrance examination. Each constituent unit of
a university usually carries out its own entrance examination. The admissions process to
first cycle programmes at polytechnics and schools of vocational higher education is also
based on secondary school grades and sometimes an entrance examination, but the use of
the latter is less common than in the case ofuniversities.
The minimum educational requirement for enrolment in university graduate programmes
is completion of a university undergraduate programme. Universities can allow students
with a higher education vocational degree to enrol in university graduate programmes under
specially defined requirements.
The minimum educational requirement for enrolment in vocational specialist graduate pro-
grammes is completion of a university undergraduate programme or a vocational pro-
gramme (first cycle). The minimum educational requirement for enrolment in university
postgraduate programmes is completion of a specific Araduate Programm€. Normally, the
requirement for enrolment in a university postgraduate programme is completion ofa uni-
versity graduate programme. Students who have completed pre-Bologna undergraduate
programmes lasting at least four academic years (sveufiliini dodiplomski studr) can apPly
for admission to Bologna postgraduate programmes as well.
Grading scale
The Croatian national grading scale consists offive grades with numerical equivalents:
izvrston - 5 (excellent); vrlo dobor - 4 (very good); dobor -: (good); dovoljon - z (suffi-
cient); nedovol.yon - r (fail). The minimum passing grade is z (sufficient).
