# Applying for a master degree

Master admission is faculty-driven. Check field compatibility early, and remember there is no single national deadline.

Good to knowThis guide is put together by students, not by professionals or official bodies. It is meant to help you and your parents through enrolment and settling into life in Slovenia. Some details may change or become outdated, so always check the official sources and confirm anything important with the relevant institutions. We take no responsibility for wrong, outdated or misunderstood information — but we are always glad to help. If you spot something that is not right, please tell us in the “Was this page helpful?” box at the bottom of the page.

Please verify the latest information

This page was last checked on 30 July 2026 and applies to master application periods in 2026/2027. Deadlines, fees, required documents, eligibility conditions, and administrative procedures may change. Verify the information directly with the responsible institution before submitting an application or making an important decision.

## The important difference from bachelor admission

Master admission is more decentralised. The university publishes a call, but the exact deadline, eligible prior fields, selection criteria, language conditions, and required attachments may be controlled by the faculty or programme. There is no safe single national master deadline.

## Field compatibility

A programme may accept your degree directly, accept it with additional courses, require a programme-committee decision, or reject it because the prior field does not provide the required foundation. Ask for a written assessment when your bachelor field is not clearly listed.

## Typical master documents

- Bachelor diploma or temporary proof of completion
- Transcript and diploma supplement
- Certified translation when requested
- CV, motivation letter, and language evidence
- References, portfolio, research outline, or work evidence where required
- Descriptions or syllabi of prior courses if the programme checks field equivalence

## 2026/2027 periods for Macedonian citizens

University | Category | 2026/2027 periods
--- | --- | ---
University of Ljubljana | Western Balkan or non-EU places | Faculty and programme specific
University of Maribor | Non-EU | 31 March to 30 April; possible 24 August to 4 September; possible 22 to 23 September
University of Primorska | Western Balkans | 8 April to 3 August; 13 to 20 August; 1 to 8 September; 23 to 24 September
University of Nova Gorica | Programme call | 18 February to 18 March; 1 April to 1 June; 1 August to 1 September; 10 to 24 September

University of Ljubljana offers many second-cycle programmes and separate Western Balkan places, but deadlines are faculty specific; do not rely on a deadline from another UL faculty.

## Request an early field-compatibility check

Send the faculty your degree title, university and country, total ECTS, transcript, diploma supplement, and short course descriptions for unclear areas. Ask whether additional obligations are completed before enrolment or during the programme, whether they carry separate fees, and whether a formal committee decision is required.
