Study systems in Europe

Higher education has three cycles:

• undergraduate studies (prijediplomski studij) – the equivalent of a bachelor's degree,
• graduate studies (diplomski studij) – the equivalent of a master's degree,
• postgraduate studies (poslijediplomski studij) – above all the doctorate.

There are also integrated programmes (integrirani studij), which combine the first and second cycle, and professional programmes – short professional programmes, professional undergraduate programmes and specialist professional graduate programmes. One academic year is worth 60 ECTS, one semester 30 ECTS.
