To advance from the first to the second year, the student must acquire at least 45 ECTS from the first 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 second 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.

The condition for the completion of studies is the successful completion of all study obligations prescribed by the programme in the amount of 120 ECTS.

A student who enrols directly in the second year, after completing a university education or specialization according to a programme adopted before 11. 06. 2004, must pass all prescribed differential exams and full-time study obligations of the second year in the amount of at least 60 ECTS.

The study ends with the preparation and oral defence of the master’s thesis.
