When selecting candidates for enrolment in the second-degree study programme Mechatronics, 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.

In accordance with the Criteria for transitions between study programmes, the candidates enrol:

• In the second or higher year of the master’s degree study programme of the second-degree study programme Mechatronics, when it comes to the termination of education according to the first study programme in the field of Mechatronics (0788); Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering (0715); Economic Engineering - Mechanical Engineering (0788); Electrical Engineering and Energetics (0713); Economic Engineering - Electrical Engineering (0788); Electronics and Automation (0714), Motor vehicles, ships and aircrafts (0716), and continuation of studies according to the same study programme of the same degree.

Transition in accordance with the criteria for transitions is possible if the candidate meets the following conditions:

• They meet the conditions for enrolment in the first year of the master’s degree study programme of the second-degree study programme Mechatronics;
• They transfer from the study programme, which at the end of the study ensures the acquisition of comparable competencies or learning outcomes;
• Upon transition, at least half of the obligations under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (hereinafter referred to at: the ECTS) from the first study programme, which relate to the compulsory subjects of the second study programme were recognized.

The transition from one study programme to another study programme is decided by the Study Affairs Committee of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering or Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

In accordance with the Rules on the Recognition of Knowledge and Skills in the Study Programmes of the University of Maribor, the candidate must submit the following to the faculty:

• An application for the recognition of knowledge and skills at the University of Maribor:
• A certificate of completed study obligations (exams) with the obtained grades and number of credit points;
• A validated curriculum according to which knowledge has been acquired;
• A proof of payment of the procedure.

If at least as many ECTS credits are recognized in the recognition process at the time of transfer, so that the conditions for enrolment in the senior year of the master’s degree study programme of the second-degree study programme Mechatronics will be met, the candidate is granted enrolment in the second or higher year of the subject study programme. They are assigned the missing obligations they must complete if they want to graduate under the new study programme.
