In accordance with Article 72a of the Higher Education Act (ZViS), citizens of the Republic of Slovenia and citizens of other European Union Member States are NOT charged​ the costs of tuition fees for state-approved 1st- and 2nd-cycle study programmes implemented as full-time studies and provided as a public service. The same applies to citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, as well as citizens of countries with which the Republic of Slovenia signed a protocol on cooperation in the field of education (i.e. Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia). 

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, citizens of all above-mentioned countries are charged a tuition fee if they have already obtained education corresponding to at least the level of education obtained under the study programme in which they are enrolled, or if they have not yet obtained an education corresponding to at least the level of education obtained under the study programme in which they are enrolled and their student status in the previous study programme has terminated in accordance with Article 70 of the Higher Education Act (ZViS).

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the tuition fee is not charged to students enrolled in parallel full-time first-cycle and second-cycle (master’s) study programmes if they have enrolled in the enrolment places for parallel studies and are already enrolled in the study programme leading to the level of education that corresponds to at least the level of education of the parallel study programme. The tuition fee is also not charged if the student has already exercised the right to repeat a year or change the study programme or study option due to failure to fulfil study obligations in the previous study option or study programme but has enrolled in a higher year than was previously enrolled at the same level of study.

 

Citizens of non-EU Member States are required to pay a tuition fee in accordance with the Rules on Tuition Fees and Accommodation in Student Dormitories for Slovenians without Slovenian Citizenship and Foreign Nationals in the Republic of Slovenia (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 77/16). As of the 2021/2022 academic year, citizens of the United Kingdom are enrolled as citizens of non-EU Member States and are charged a tuition fee. The amount of the tuition fee for Slovenians without Slovenian citizenship and citizens of non-EU Member States - foreigners is determined by the amount of the tuition fee for Slovene citizens for part-time study programmes.


A person whose student status is terminated due to withdrawal from the study programme or study option can re-enrol in the same study programme or option. For the mentioned study programme, they need to pay a tuition fee in accordance with Article 77 (paragraph 6) of the Higher Education Act (ZViS).
