Assesment and completion:

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progress:

In order to progress to the second year, students must have completed first-year course units totalling at least 45 ECTS credits. These must include examinations in all compulsory subjects.
If a student has not completed all course units, the FE Academic Affairs Committee may approve enrolment in the next year at the student's request provided the student has completed more than half the course units of the current year (30 ECTS credits), was unable to complete the course units for justified reasons, and may be expected to complete the course units (Article 85 of the Statute of the University of Maribor).

Progression:

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

Conditions for obtaining a public document:

In order to complete the programme, students must complete all course units in all subjects in which they have enrolled, and write and defend a master's thesis.
