# Recognition of Macedonian education

Recognition decides whether your prior education gives access to the Slovenian programme. For applicants educated abroad, it is part of admission.

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 Some details may change or become outdated, so always check the official sources and confirm anything important with the relevant institutions. We take no responsibility for wrong, outdated or misunderstood information — but we are always glad to help.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 recognition requirements in the 2026/2027 calls. 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.

## What recognition means

Recognition determines whether education completed abroad gives access to the Slovenian programme for which you are applying. For bachelor admission, the institution examines secondary education. For master admission, it examines the bachelor qualification and whether it meets the level and field requirements.

## Where the process begins

For study admission, the request is normally submitted as part of the eVŠ application. The higher-education institution handling the application also handles the recognition needed for that admission process.

## Standard evidence

- Original diploma or certificate and a copy
- Certified Slovenian translation
- Transcript, diploma supplement, annual reports, or other evidence of content and duration
- Short chronological description of the complete education, written and signed by the applicant
- Additional evidence requested by the institution

## Certified translation

Do not assume that an ordinary personal translation is sufficient. Where the call requires a certified translation, use a translator accepted for official purposes and follow the language requested by the institution. Some institutions may accept English translations or waive translation for certain documents. Obtain this in writing.

## Legalisation and verification

There is no universal statement that every Macedonian document needs or does not need an apostille. The required verification can depend on the document, the applicable agreement, the procedure, and the institution. Check the current call and the written request.

## Admission recognition and subject recognition are different

Recognition during admission determines access to the Slovenian programme. After enrolment, a student may separately request recognition of individual subjects completed at another institution, normally with a transcript and detailed syllabus, decided under faculty rules. Do not assume that recognition of the foreign degree automatically transfers individual course credits into the new programme.
