Who can apply?<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can apply if you have successfully completed, or will successfully complete, one of the following qualifications this year:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a four-year secondary school programme,<\/li>\n<li>a secondary school programme following the 3+2 model, or<\/li>\n<li>a five-year secondary school programme.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The admission requirement is therefore a general or vocational matriculation certificate.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can also apply if you have completed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a master craftsman, foreman, or business manager examination, provided that you have:<\/li>\n<li>at least three years of work experience, and<\/li>\n<li>a test of proficiency in Slovene (or Italian or Hungarian in ethnically mixed areas), as well as a test in mathematics or a foreign language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4>II. Can an Employed Applicant Enrol in Full-Time Study? <\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Yes. If you are employed at the time of enrolment and are admitted to a full-time study programme, you will attend lectures and complete other study requirements together with full-time students. There is no age limit for enrolment in either full-time or part-time study.  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4>III. Have You Previously Been Enrolled at a University and Now Wish to Study at a Higher Vocational College? <\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you have already been enrolled in a professional bachelor&#8217;s or university study programme for three years, you are not eligible to enrol in a full-time Higher Vocational College study programme. In this case, you may enrol in a part-time study programme instead. Part-time study also includes the most modern form of distance learning.  <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4>IV.
