Enrolment conditions and selection criteria

Candidates who completed the following may apply for the 2nd-cycle (master’s) study programme Informatics and Data Technologies:

  1. A 1st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme corresponding to at least 180 ECTS credits in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) (061), mathematics (0541), statistics (0542), or physics (0533).
  2. A 1st -cycle (bachelor’s) study programme corresponding to at least 180 ECTS credits in a field not specified in the previous paragraph. Prior to enrolment, candidates shall pass the following courses corresponding to 24 ECTS credits under the 1 st-cycle (bachelor’s) study programme in Computer Science and Information Technologies: Programming II (6 ECTS), Algorithms and Data Structures (6 ECTS), Computer Architecture (6 ECTS), and Operating Systems (6 ECTS). If the candidate has mastered course content during 1st-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 Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) (061), mathematics (0541), statistics (0542), 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 24 ECTS credits under the 1 st-cycle (bachelors’) study programme in Computer Science and Information Technologies: Programming II (6 ECTS), Algorithms and Data Structures (6 ECTS), Computer Architecture (6 ECTS), and Operating Systems (6 ECTS). If the candidate has mastered course content during 1st-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 Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) (061). 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. An undergraduate academic study programme adopted prior to 11 June 2004 in the field of mathematics (0541), statistics (0542), physics (0533), electricity and energy (0713), electronics and automation (0714), mechatronics (0788), chemistry and chemical engineering (0531), mechanical engineering (0715), or building and civil engineering (0732). Upon demonstrating mastery of relevant study content, candidates are typically awarded 30 ECTS credits and may enrol in the corresponding year of study.

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

Advancement criteria of a study programme

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.

Criteria for transfer between study programmes

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 the Information and Communication Technologies - ICT (061), Mathematics (0541), Statistics (0542) or Physics (0533) may transfer to the second-degree study programme Computer Science and Information Technologies, 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.
