In order to advance to the next year of studies, students have to pass all study obligations for the particular year. Furthermore, they have to obtain at least 60 credits from the previous year.
The FKKT body defined in the school’s regulations may exceptionally approve advancement to the second year to a student who has obtained a minimum of 50 ECTS credits in the first year and has successfully passed the following courses: Research Work, Catalysis and Heterogeneous Reaction Systems, and Chemical Engineering Dynamics, if the student can provide justified reasons. Justified reasons are stipulated by the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.
Students may reenrol in the same year if they have obtained 20 credits required for that particular year.
Students may repeat a study year once during their studies or change the study programme once due to failure to fulfil the obligations under the previous study programme.
In accordance with the law and the Statutes, a student may ask for an extension of the student status for no more than one year if justified reasons are provided.
Supervisors and tutors are responsible for offering counselling and advising students on selecting their electives.
In order to complete the second-cycle studies, the student has to fulfil study obligations in all courses of the programme, fulfil obligations totalling 120 ECTS credits, and prepare and successfully defend their master’s thesis in accordance with the Rules on Master’s Thesis adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Transitions between study programmes are deemed as the termination of studies in one study programme in which the student has enrolled and continuation of studies in a new study programme. Transitions do not include changes in the study programme or field due to failure to meet the obligations of the previous study programme or field. Transitions between study programmes do not include enrolment in the first year of a new study programme.
The second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering is open to students of other comparable second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004. This means that students, who received their education in other comparable study programmes, can enrol in the programme.
Transition of students of other second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004 to the second year of the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering is possible if a minimum of 50% of obligations can be recognised from the candidate’s previous study programme.
The request for transition to the second-cycle programme in Chemical Engineering should be made by written application with evidence of fulfilled obligations in the previous study programme and evidence of fulfilled admission requirements for the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering. Students can join the second year provided that transition requirements for this programme have been met and after passing all the exams specific for this programme.
Transitions between study programmes are subject to the decision of the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology or a body appointed by the Senate.
Student performance in individual courses is assessed by knowledge testing for each individual course. Assessment and testing are carried out in the form of oral and written exams, preliminary exams, seminar and project papers. The forms and methods of assessment and student obligations are set out by the syllabi for individual courses. Other forms of continuous assessment are determined by the syllabi and form a component of the final grade. Assessment and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Study and Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, which have been adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Students are assessed against the grading scale in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.
The grading scale for final exams and other types of knowledge assessment:
- 10 = exceptional knowledge with negligible faults
- 9 = outstanding knowledge but showing some faults
- 8 = solid knowledge
- 7 = good knowledge but showing some major faults
- 6 = knowledge meeting minimum criteria
- 5 = knowledge not meeting minimum criteria
The grades from the grading scale are translated into ECTS grades as follows:
- 10 = A
- 9 = B
- 8 = C
- 7 = D
- 6 = E
- 5 = F (fail)

These obligations are stipulated by the FKKT Committee for Master’s Programmes and are worth from 10 to no more than 60 credits.
In the case of enrolment restrictions, the candidates will be chosen with regard to the average grade in the first-cycle of studies. For candidates meeting the admission requirements under Item b), the average grade in the first-cycle of studies shall be considered (75%) as well as the average grade of the fulfilled study obligations under Item b) (25%).
There are 20 enrolment slots for full-time study, 3 enrolment slots for non-EU citizens and 1 for Slovenians without Slovenian citizenship.
The knowledge that the student has previously acquired through various forms of education may be recognised if it corresponds to the study content of the courses taught in the second-cycle programme in Technical Safety. The recognition of previously acquired knowledge and skills is subject to the decision of the FKKT Study Committee. The student should submit a written application and provide certificates and other documents evidencing the successfully acquired knowledge and adequate content.
The Study Committee shall consider the following criteria when deciding on the recognition of knowledge acquired prior to enrolment:
- Adequacy of admission requirements for the programme (required education necessary for admission to the programme);
- Comparability of the scope of the programme (number of hours of prior education with regard to the scope of the course) to be recognised,
- Adequacy of content of the programme with regard to the content of the course to be recognised.
Previously acquired knowledge can be recognised if admission requirements for the previous programme were similar to the admission requirements for the second-cycle programme in Technical Safety, if at least 75% of the scope of the course is covered by prior education, and if at least 75% of the teaching content correspond to the course to be recognised. If the Study Committee establishes that previously acquired knowledge may be recognised, this is allocated the same number of ECTS credits as for the course.

In order to advance to the next year of studies, students have to pass all study obligations for the particular year. Furthermore, they have to obtain at least 60 credits from the previous year.
The FKKT body defined in the school’s regulations may exceptionally approve advancement to the second year to a student who has obtained a minimum of 50 ECTS credits in the first year and has successfully passed the following courses: Risk Management, Process Safety, Vulnerability of Systems and Research Work, if the student can provide justified reasons. Justified reasons are stipulated by the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.
Students may reenrol in the same year if they have obtained 20 credits required for that particular year.
Students may repeat a study year once during their studies or change the study programme once due to failure to fulfil the obligations under the previous study programme.
In order to complete the second-cycle of studies, the student has to fulfil study obligations in all courses of the programme and prepare and successfully defend their master’s thesis in accordance with the Rules on Master’s Thesis adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Transitions between second-cycle university study programmes
The second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety is open to students of other comparable second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004. This means that students, who received their education in other comparable study programmes, can enrol in the programme.
Transition of students of other second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004 to the second year of the second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety is possible if a minimum of 50% of obligations can be recognised from the candidate’s previous study programme.
The request for transition should be made by written application with evidence of fulfilled obligations in the previous study programme and evidence of fulfilled admission requirements for the second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety. Students can join the second year provided that transition requirements for this programme have been met and after passing all the exams specific for this programme.
Transitions between study programmes are subject to the decision of the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology or a body appointed by the Senate.
Student performance in individual courses is assessed by knowledge testing for each individual course. Assessment and testing are carried out in the form of oral and written exams, preliminary exams, seminar and project papers. The forms and methods of assessment and student obligations are set out by the syllabi for individual courses. Other forms of continuous assessment are determined by the syllabi and form a component of the final grade. Assessment and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Study and Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, which have been adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Students are assessed against the grading scale in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.
The grading scale for final exams and other types of knowledge assessment:
- 10 = exceptional knowledge with negligible faults
- 9 = outstanding knowledge but showing some faults
- 8 = solid knowledge
- 7 = good knowledge but showing some major faults
- 6 = knowledge meeting minimum criteria
- 5 = knowledge not meeting minimum criteria
The grades from the grading scale are translated into ECTS grades as follows:
- 10 = A
- 9 = B
- 8 = C
- 7 = D
- 6 = E
- 5 = F (fail)
