Is the University of Zagreb public or private?

It is a public institution under the University of Zagreb Statute. The university's official history recognises 1669 as its foundation year, while the modern university was formally opened in 1874.

What can international students study in English?

The official 2025/26 catalogue lists English-taught undergraduate, integrated and graduate options, including Medical Studies, Dental Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy, economics, engineering, data science, mathematics and forestry. Availability and details are programme-specific.

Do all programmes use the same admissions process?

No. The university says applicants should contact the faculty or academy offering the programme. The relevant faculty sets the call, selection, documents, deadline and any exam or interview.

Do foreign qualifications need recognition?

The university's recognition FAQ says foreign qualifications used for enrolment may need academic recognition. A positive decision is a prerequisite for applying, not an automatic guarantee of admission, because the faculty may impose additional requirements.

Are the English-taught programmes all in Zagreb?

The University of Zagreb is based in Zagreb, but its constituent units are distributed across the city and some faculties are located at different addresses. Confirm the teaching location with the programme faculty.

The 2025/26 English catalogue reports programme-specific fees, such as EUR 12,000 per year for Medical Studies, EUR 10,000 for Dental Medicine, EUR 10,500 for Veterinary Medicine, EUR 5,000 for Bachelor Economics and EUR 5,970 for the FER English master's year. Future-cycle figures must be confirmed directly.

When do classes begin?

The catalogue gives programme-specific dates for the 2025/26 cycle, including September, October and November starts, while some programmes say exact dates will be published by the faculty. Do not treat one date as universal.

Is accommodation guaranteed?

The reviewed official sources do not establish a universal accommodation guarantee or current price. Applicants should check residence and private-rental options with Zagreb student services and budget living costs separately.

Can Students Traffic help with the application?

Students Traffic can help you compare fit, organise a shortlist and prepare an application checklist, but the relevant University of Zagreb faculty remains the authority for current eligibility, documents, deadlines and admission decisions.
