• the third subject or annual mark assessment of the maturity examination (entered in the maturity certificate), its weighting coefficient – 0.2; this component of the competitive score consists of the assessment of any subject of the school leaving certificate that is not repeated with another subject of the competitive score, for which a state maturity examination is organized in the year of accession (the most useful assessment of the subject is used);

Competition

The competition queues are formed in descending order of points. Competitions take place and competition queues are formed for each group of state-funded study fields (study basket principle), and in the case of arts and education sciences – according to separate university study programs (in this case, universities have separate quotas). During a competition, the values of the competitive score, which is sufficient to obtain a state-funded or non-funded place, can vary greatly depending on the popularity of the study programs. In some fields of study, the values of the lowest entrance competitive score may be sufficient. It is therefore advisable to apply for at least a few programs when applying, which increases the chances of the entrant to become a student. Applicants with a higher competitive score will receive a state-funded study place.
