Typical length for a European Bologna-system bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme. Some professional or engineering programmes run 3.5-4 years, so confirm your specific programme's length with the university.
Accreditation

DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.

Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.

Student residence permits issued in Croatia

Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for Croatia is not built yet.

No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.

Estimate for a frugal international student: shared room, home cooking, public transport, basic phone/internet.
This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →
Living in Croatia — permit basics

Unconfirmed — see note

Non-EU students may work or be self-employed up to 20 hours per week during studies, per the official EU Immigration Portal. The official EU Immigration Portal requires 'sufficient resources' without stating an amount. Third-party sources we found cite figures ranging from roughly €4,000 to €7,200 — we could not confirm a single authoritative figure from an official source, so none is shown as fact. Confirm the current amount with Croatian authorities (MUP) before applying.
