Candidates who completed the following may apply for the 2nd-cycle (master’s) study programme in Electrical Engineering:

1. A 1st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme corresponding to at least 180 ECTS credits in the field of electricity and energy (0713), electronics and automation (0714), mechatronics (0788), industrial engineering – electrical engineering option (0788), or physics (0533).
2. A 1st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme corresponding to at least 180 ECTS creditsin a field not specified in the previous paragraph. Prior to enrolment, candidates shall pass the following courses corresponding to 19 ECTS credits under the 1 st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme in Electrical Engineering: Principles of Electrical Engineering I (7 ECTS) and Principles of Electrical Engineering II (5 ECTS). In addition, candidates applying for the Automation and Robotics option shall also pass the Signals course (6 ECTS), candidates applying for the Electronics option the Introduction to Electronics course (6 ECTS), and candidates applying for the Power Engineering option the Electrical and Electromechanical Converters course (6 ECTS). If the candidate has mastered course content during 1 st-cycle studies, a course may be fully or partially recognized.
3. An undergraduate professional study programme adopted prior to 11 June 2004 in the field of electricity and energy (0713), electronics and automation (0714), mechatronics (0788), industrial engineering – electrical engineering option (0788), or physics (0533).
4. An undergraduate professional study programme adopted prior to 11 June 2004 in a field not specified in the previous paragraph. Prior to enrolment, candidates shall pass the following courses corresponding to 19 ECTS credits under the 1st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme in Electrical Engineering: Principles of Electrical Engineering I (7 ECTS) and Principles of Electrical Engineering II (5 ECTS). In addition, candidates applying for the Automation and Robotics option shall also pass the Signals course (6 ECTS), candidates applying for the Electronics option the Introduction to Electronics course (6 ECTS), and candidates applying for the Power Engineering option the Electrical and Electromechanical Converters course (6 ECTS). If the candidate has mastered course content during 1 st-cycle studies, a course may be fully or partially recognized.
5. An undergraduate academic study programme adopted prior to 11 June 2004 in the field of electricity and energy (0713), electronics and automation (0714), mechatronics (0788), industrial engineering – electrical engineering option (0788), or physics (0533). Upon demonstrating mastery of relevant study content, candidates are typically awarded 60 ECTS credits and may enrol in the second year of study provided they satisfy the transfer criteria laid down in the accredited study programme.
6. Those who have completed a university study programme (before the adoption of the Higher Education Act in 2004) in other professional fields of Mathematics (0541), Statistics (0542), Information and Communication Technologies – ICT (061), Chemistry and Chemical Technologies (0531), Mechanical Engineering (0715), Civil Engineering (0732). As a rule, 30 ECTS credits are awarded to such a candidate within the study programme, if they demonstrate the acquisition of a relevant subject, and are accordingly enrolled in the relevant year of study.

When selecting candidates for enrolment in the second-degree study programme Electrical Engineering, the following is taken into account: success in the first-degree study programme - average grade of exams and the final work (100%).

Conditions for advancement to the second study year:

A student advances to the second study year if they collect at least 48 ECTS credits out by passing the first study year exams.

The conditions for promotion under extraordinary conditions and the conditions for repetition are defined by the Statute of the University of Maribor https://www.um.si/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Statut-Univerze-v-Mariboru-uradno-preciscenobesedilo-UPB-13.pdf.

Transitions between the study programmes are possible in accordance with the Higher Education Act, the Criteria for transitions between study programmes, and other regulations.

According to the criteria for transitions, candidates enrolled in the study programmes in the field of Electrical Engineering and Energetics (0713), Electronics and Automation (0714), Mechatronics (0788), Economic Engineering – Electrical Engineering (0788) or Physics (0533) may transfer to the seconddegree study programme Electrical Engineering, which at the end of their studies ensure the acquisition of comparable competencies, and according to the recognition criteria, at least half of the ECTS obligations from the first study programme, which relate to the compulsory subjects of the second study programme, are recognised. In the process of recognition, the already completed study obligations of the students are identified, which can be fully or partially recognised, and the study obligations that they must complete if they want to complete their studies according to the new study programme are determined.
