All students take the same courses in the first year, and you will choose your specialisation when you enrol in the second year.

The program is also offered in English. If you choose this option, you will study together with students from all over the world from day one.

Students who have completed their secondary education abroad or at a secondary school with an international program in Slovenia can choose the English-language version of the program without restrictions when enrolling.

Students who graduated from secondary school in Slovenia enroll in the Slovenian version of the program in the first year. Upon enrolment, they must submit the documents they received from the Admissions Office of the University of Ljubljana to the Student Affairs Office. These documents show the number of points achieved in the 3rd and 4th year of study and in the general matriculation examination. On the basis of the applications and the number of points achieved, the Student Affairs Office selects the top 40 students to enroll in the English-language version of the degree program. The number of students (foreign and Slovenian citizens) enrolled in the English version of the program is limited to 120 places. When enrolling in the second year, students choose their specialization. Students who were enrolled in the English version in the first year have priority in choosing their specialization. Each year, a certain number of places are also allocated to other students, with priority given to those who enroll earlier.
