Croatia 2016/17 - values of student fees

National student fee

Fees for all full-time students in the first year of short, first and second cycle programmes are fully covered by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. Fees are also covered in full for all non-first year students who achieved 55 ECTS or more in previous academic year.

Full-time students who do not fulfil the criteria for fee-exemption pay either full fee or part of the fee, depending on the criteria set by the individual HEIs. The share of fee-paying students has been roughly constant for the past few years: full fees are covered by the government for about 40 % of students, while about 60 % of students participate in fees to some extent.

The full fees for all study programs range from HRK 3 700 to 7 500 per year.

Part-time students, who make 28 % of total student population, pay full fees.

International students from outside the EU also pay full fees.
