Study formats
At Alma Mater, study requirements are organized to evenly distribute the student’s workload and enable continuous, higher-quality learning. This means that typically one or two courses are conducted at the same time, and exams follow after the completion of the last study requirements. There are no fixed exam periods, because exam dates are scheduled on an ongoing basis; however, as a rule across all study programs, the final exam dates are offered once more in August and September. Lectures in most undergraduate study programs are delivered in a hybrid format, meaning students can attend in person on site or remotely via the Zoom application. All lectures are recorded, and the recordings can be viewed via the Moodle online classroom throughout the academic year. If a study program is delivered exclusively Na daljavo, there are no physical, in-classroom lectures. Seminar and laboratory classes are generally held on site, unless otherwise specified by the study program. Classes are not recorded and cannot be followed remotely, except in study programs that are conducted Na daljavo. Attendance at classes and practical training is mandatory.
At Alma Mater, we offer the following forms of study:
Part-time study is equal in scope and quality to full-time study; it differs only in the organization of the study process and in study requirements, which are adapted to studying while working.
Part-time study has the same duration, content, scope, and level of difficulty as full-time study. A student completes 60 ECTS credits within one year. During the week, lectures are typically held in the afternoon, and on Saturdays in the morning.
Part-time students have the same rights to numerous benefits as full-time students, such as subsidized meals (student meal vouchers), transportation, accommodation in student dormitories, and health insurance.
Part-time study is subject to tuition fees.
Full time paying studies is equal in scope and quality to full-time study; it differs only in the organization of the study process and in study requirements, which are adapted to studying while working.

Distance learning is delivered as a combination of live and remote lectures and classes. It is an organized form of knowledge transfer to students at a remote location or within the institution with the help of the latest information and communication technologies.
The advantages of this form are mainly that students study from home, individually or in a team, and set their own time and pace of study.
Only certain study programs at Alma Mater can be delivered Na daljavo. These study programs are specified in the Call for Enrolment.
