First-cycle programmes admit secondary school graduates with the State Matura (Državna matura) or an equivalent – for international applicants, a secondary school leaving certificate that has been recognised (nostrified).
At UKIM most programmes have no entrance exam – what counts is your average secondary school grade. The exceptions are programmes that test knowledge and skills: architecture, dramatic arts, fine arts and music.
