How to Apply to a University in Slovenia?
1. Find a Slovenian university to apply to
Here are some of the top-ranked universities in Slovenia:
2. Learn where to submit your university application.
Slovenia uses a centralised system, the eVŠ Portal, which allows all students to apply at public or private universities. As a prospective student, it is your duty to check if you meet the admission requirements before submitting an application. For more information on requirements, see point 3.
After completing this step, you need to send all the other documents online and by post. You can learn more about how the application is processed, how to view the results, and more from our professionals.
3. Meet the university entry requirements and Find out about the language requirements.
Slovenian universities usually ask for the same documents you’d expect from similar academic institutions such as:
- filled-in application form
- proof of paying the application fee (if applicable)
- high school diploma (to apply for a Bachelor’s)
- Bachelor’s diploma (to apply for a Master’s)
- transcript of records
- motivation letter and more.
To enrol in one of the English-taught programmes, you need to prove a minimum level of English language skills. The most widely accepted tests are:
- IELTS Academic
- PTE Academic
- TOEFL iBT
To enrol in one of the Slovenian programmes which requires language proficiency you need to prove a B2 or C1 level of Slovenian language skills. To learn the basics of the Slovene language, check out Language Courses.
4. Apply before the application deadlines.
In Slovenia, the academic year starts in October and ends in September the following year. The university application period usually opens in February-March and closes in August-September. Check the information.
However, not all study programs follow this time-frame. Some have shorter or longer application windows, which is why you should check out the official deadlines early on.
