Recognition of prior knowledge, completion of an individual module, and individual consultation

If you are interested in completing only one or more individual modules, write to us at the student office (propedevtika@almamater.si) . We will prepare an individual offer for you and inform you about the schedule.

If you have already completed any of the subjects or content in another study program, these subjects may be recognized within the framework of Psychotherapeutic propaedeutics.

We also offer you the possibility of an individual meeting with the head of the program, Assist. Prof. Nuša Kovačević Tojnko, PhD. At the meeting, we can review your current situation together, outline a career path plan in the field of mental health and psychotherapy, and provide answers to your specific questions regarding the program, obtaining a license, or further education.

If you are interested in the possibility of recognition of knowledge, completing an individual module, or meeting with the head of the program, write to us at the student office or call us.
