Enrolment requirements
The Master’s Study Programme
Engineering and Automotive Industry can be entered by someone
who has completed a first-cycle study programme or an equivalent prior qualification in the relevant professional fields of engineering and technical sciences, manufacturing technologies, architecture, spatial planning and civil engineering, information and communication technologies, environmental studies, physics, as well as mathematics and statistics,
who has completed a first-cycle study programme or an equivalent prior qualification in other fields than those specified in the preceding indent, provided that, prior to enrolment, they have fulfilled study obligations essential for the continuation of studies. These obligations, due to differences in the field of study, are determined by the Commission for Study and Student Affairs of FINI Novo mesto and amount to between 10 and 60 ECTS credits.
In case of limited admission to
Year 1, candidates will be selected according to their achievements in
undergraduate studies:
grade point average: 80%,
diploma thesis grade 20%.
Enrolment to a higher year of the Master’s
study programme Engineering and Automotive Industry is possible if
the candidate for enrolment meets the conditions for enrolment to Year 1 of the second cycle Master’s study programme Engineering and Automotive Industry (MA),
the candidate for enrolment is transferring from a study programme, which upon completion of studies ensures the acquisition of comparable competences or learning outcomes,
the candidate for enrolment in the transition is recognized at least half of the ECTS obligations from the first study programme, which relate to the compulsory courses of the second cycle Master’s study programme Engineering and Automotive Industry (MA),
the candidate for enrolment in the recognition process at the time of transition will be recognized at least as many ECTS credits as to meet the conditions for enrolment to a higher year of the second cycle Master’s study programme Engineering and Automotive Industry (MA):
for enrolment to Year 2: 42 ECTS.
According to the transfer criteria among
study programmes the candidate for enrolment is required to fulfil the missing
obligations if he wants to graduate in the new study programme.
Conditions for enrolment are also met by a candidate who has completed a comparable study programme abroad and is granted the right to continue education in the second cycle study programme in accordance with the applicable legislation on the evaluation and recognition of education.
