The programme record identifies full-time study and an academic year of 30 weeks split into two 15-week semesters. Faculty material describes a curriculum of pre-clinical, clinical and problem-based-learning modules rather than a separate foundation year. Maribor is the study location stated in the University programme catalogue. The 2026/27 foreign-citizen route uses the University's eVŠ portal and concludes first-year enrolment at the relevant faculty student office, rather than a separate overseas recruitment portal. The programme catalogue says practical education forms part of doctors' working environments. Progression moves from anatomy, histology, biophysics, biochemistry and pre-clinical PBL to internal medicine with propedeutics, surgery, radiology, clinical biochemistry, special pathology and clinical PBL. Assessment can include practical examinations, practice assessment and practical-training reports. ## Hostel, food and safety No Faculty of Medicine accommodation entitlement, room availability or current housing price was verified in the programme, foreign-admission and fee materials used for this package. Housing must therefore be treated as a separate arrangement and budget, not as an included part of the EUR 9,160 tuition figure. No current Faculty of Medicine meal-plan price or dietary-support service was verified in the sources reviewed for this package. Daily food costs are separate from tuition and should not be represented as a programme benefit. No Faculty-specific safety statistic or safety guarantee was verified in the reviewed official material. This record therefore makes no general safety-ranking claim for Maribor. The University of Maribor's Higher Education Application and Information Centre manages the foreign-education recognition route, while the Faculty student office handles enrolment after an acceptance decision. The University also identifies its Faculty of Arts as a local provider of intermediate and C2 Slovene-language examinations for foreign applicants. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is University of Maribor General Medicine a direct-entry medical degree?
