University of Primorska Admission 2026 for International Students

Admission at a glance

The University of Primorska is a public university on the Slovenian coast, made up of seven faculties (Humanities, Management, Mathematics Natural Sciences and Information Technologies FAMNIT, Tourism Studies Turistica, Health Sciences, Education, and Polymer Technology) plus one research institute. International applicants for a full degree apply centrally through Slovenia's national eVS web portal (portal.evs.gov.si), not directly to UP, using a qualified digital certificate, an AAI account, or a username and password through the SI-PASS2 system. Applicants upload scanned certificates of completed secondary education (for bachelor's programmes) or a prior degree (for master's and doctoral programmes), transcripts covering the last four years of education, a short chronological description of their education abroad, and an identity document or passport. Non-Latin-script certificates must be translated into Slovenian or English by a sworn translator. Foreign nationals from a country the EU classifies as higher migration risk (the countries whose citizens need a visa to cross the EU external border) must also complete a mandatory video interview conducted in English over Zoom, and must pay a non-refundable 200 euro interview fee within five days of applying, before the application is processed further. Non-EU citizens, other than those from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Serbia or North Macedonia (who have a bilateral tuition-exemption agreement with Slovenia and are treated similarly to EU applicants), pay tuition for full-time bachelor's and master's study; doctoral study at UP is normally part-time except for one programme, and tuition is charged there too unless a bilateral exemption applies. Fifteen of UP's 81 study programmes are taught in English at bachelor's, master's or doctoral level, mostly at the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (FAMNIT), the Faculty of Management, and the Faculty of Tourism Studies Turistica. Each faculty publishes its own call for enrolment with the specific admission requirements, available places and, where relevant, the English proficiency rule for its own programme.

Professional higher education programmes accept a final examination after a four-year secondary programme, General Matura, or Vocational Matura. Some programmes also require an aptitude or skills assessment. For non-EU applicants applying to a programme taught in English, English proficiency at CEFR B2 is required for at least the Faculty of Management's English-taught Management programme (see the English requirement above); check the individual faculty's own call for enrolment for other English-taught programmes.

Master

Admission requires a relevant completed first-cycle (bachelor's) degree, with the specific field and any bridging or additional exam requirements set by each faculty's own call for enrolment. For the Faculty of Management's Management programme (taught in English), the same CEFR B2 English proficiency rule applies as for the bachelor's programme. Faculties may also set minimum grade or programme-sp...
