Enrolment into doctoral study programmes

Doctoral study is not only for excellent students – it is an excellent choice for engineers inclined to academic research. However serious it may be, this study programme serves committed individuals and is not the standard study programme you had already finished. You can gain access to the support and assistance necessary to accomplish your goals. Find out more about enrolment into the final stage of academic education.

Enrolment steps for the first year of doctoral study

1. CHECK ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

  1. Completed a corresponding graduate university study programme or intergrated undergraduate and graduate university study programme or specialist university study programme, acquiring at least 300 ECTS credits at the completed levels of studies and with a weighted grade point average achieved at the undergraduate and graduate level (including the differential programmes) of at least 3.50, i.e. equivalent grade in other assessment systems, or applicants who are in the group of 20% best students of their generation.
  2. Completed a corresponding graduate university study programme (pre-Bologna), with an average grade of at least 3.50 or applicants who are in the group of 20% best students of their generation.
  3. Eligibility for students who completed a corresponding graduate university study programme at a foreign university is determined by a Committee for postgraduate studies and the Committee may require taking differential exams.
  4. Eligible for enrolment to postgraduate doctoral study are applicants who earned a degree of Master of Science in a corresponding field of science in the Republic of Croatia or an equivalent foreign degree in a corresponding field of science. Applicants with a postgraduate Master of Science degree are admitted to the 4th semester of the doctoral study programme, with a requirement of taking the PhD qualifying exam.
  5. Applicants who passed all the exams at the postgraduate science degree programme, but did not defend their Master of Science thesis are admitted to the 3rd semester of the doctoral study programme, with a requirement of taking PhD qualifying exam. For these applicants, the Committee may require that they take differential and/or additional exams.
