Most programmes are taught in Croatian. At some faculties foreign applicants – including those from some EU countries – have to pass a Croatian language exam at level B2 at the National Centre for External Evaluation of Education (NCVVO). This is the case, for example, for architecture and design in Zagreb.
There are around 100 programmes taught in English – you will find the list on studyincroatia.hr. For these, institutions usually ask for a language certificate such as IELTS or TOEFL.
Croatian courses for foreigners are described on the Learning Croatian page.
