Do you want to enrol at the University of Maribor and your previous education has been obtained abroad? Here you can inform yourself about the procedure for recognition of foreign education for the purpose of further education at the University of Maribor.
|
Candidates who prove the fulfilment of access requirements with foreign previous education and wish to continue their education at the University of Maribor must, in accordance with the
Assessment and Recognition of Education Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 87/11, 97/11. - corr. and 175/20), obtain the
Decision on recognition of foreign education for the purpose of further education at the University of Maribor. The procedure for recognition of foreign education can only be initiated by submitting an online application form for enrolment via
the eVŠ web portal. The online application for enrolment also serves as an application for the initiation of the procedure for recognition of foreign academic qualifications. Candidates who submit an incomplete application for enrolment or application for recognition of education for the purpose of continuing education will individually receive additional information on the request and the deadline to supplement the application electronically via the eVŠ web portal. The document or notification will be downloaded electronically from the eVŠ web portal after prior authentication. It is considered that the candidate has familiarized themselves with the content of the document or the notification by registering in the eVŠ portal. When the document is delivered in person via the eVŠ portal, the candidate electronically confirms the electronic proof of service. The day of electronic confirmation of the electronic proof of service is the day the document shall be considered as delivered. If the document is not retrieved by the candidate within five days from the receipt of the information notice on the electronically sent document via the eVŠ portal, the document shall be considered as delivered on the day when this time limit expires.
