To advance from the first to the second year, the student must acquire at least 45 ECTS from the first year. To advance from the second to the third year, the student must complete all obligations from the first year in addition to acquiring at least 45 ECTS from the second year.

The faculty may allow the student to advance to a higher year, even if the required conditions are not met, in the following circumstances: maternity, prolonged illness, exceptional family or social circumstances, participation in top cultural, sports or professional events.

A student who does not meet the conditions for enrolling in a higher year may repeat a year once during their studies or change their study programme or course due to non-fulfilment of obligations in the previous study programme or course. It is not possible to repeat the third year because an additional year (absolventski staž) is intended for fulfilling the missing obligations.

In accordance with the applicable legislation, a student’s student status may be extended for a maximum of one year if the student:

• Does not enrol in a higher year for justified reasons;
• Does not graduate within 12 months after the end of the last semester for justified reasons;
• Gives birth during their studies.

Depending on their academic achievements, the student may complete the study in a shorter period of time than provided for in the study programme.

To complete the programme, the student must successfully complete all study obligations prescribed by the study programme, amounting to 180 ECTS.

A student who enrols in the second year of the Business Management in a Digital Society programme after graduating from a higher professional programme adopted after 1 January 1994 must complete all prescribed differential exams and the regular study obligations of the second and third years, totalling at least 120 ECTS.

A student who enrols in the third year after graduating from a higher professional programme adopted after 1 January 1994, must complete all prescribed differential exams and regular study obligations of the third year, totalling at least 60 ECTS.
