Business Informatics I - General Information

ORGANISATION OF STUDIES

Full-time studies: full-time studies are conducted at the FCBS in Celje. Lectures take place on working days in the morning and afternoon. The academic year starts in October and ends in September.

Part-time studies: the part-time study programme is identical to the full-time programme, but the organisation of lectures and practical work is adapted to working students. Lectures and practical work are carried out two or three times a week in the afternoon (after 16:30) and on Saturday mornings. Part-time studies are implemented at the FCBS in Celje as well as at the Ljubljana and Maribor units.

Repeating a Year
If students do not fulfil the progression requirements, they may repeat a year once during the course of their studies at the FCBS. There are no additional tuition fees and the only expense is the enrolment fee.

Student Status Extensions
Students can apply for a student status extension of up to one year if:

• They cannot progress to the next year or graduate in the prescribed time for legitimate reasons.
• Student mothers can apply for a student status extension of 12 months for every child born during the course of their studies.

DURATION OF STUDIES

The duration of full-time and part-time studies is 3 years (6 semesters).

ASSESSMENT

Assessment methods (written or oral exams, practical and seminar work grades, presentation grades) are detailed in the syllabus of each individual course.
Exams for full-time students take place during the three exam periods (in January/February, June and September). Exams for part-time students take place 14 days after the final lecture of each course.

PROGRESSION AND COMPLETION OF STUDIES

Full-time students can advance to the 2nd year if they have gained at least 45 CP in 1st year units and paid their tuition fees in full. In order to progress to the 3rd year, full-time students must gain at least 45 CP in 2nd year units, 60 CP in 1st year units and pay their tuition fees in full. In order to register for exams for the 3rd year module, students must first pass the exams marked in the syllabus as obligatory.

Part-time students can advance to the 2nd year if they have gained at least 20 CP in 1st year units and paid their tuition fees in full. In order to progress to the 3rd year, part-time students must gain at least 20 CP in 2nd year units, 60 CP in 1st year units and pay their tuition fees in full.

Students can register the topic of their bachelor thesis only when their remaining obligations consist of no more than two 3rd year exams. Students are required to fulfil all study requirements prior to defending their bachelor thesis.

ACCREDITATION OF EXAMS AND WORK EXPERIENCE

Knowledge acquired through various forms of formal education, improvement programs and non-formal education prior to enrolment at the FCBS can be accredited in accordance with the Rules of the FCBS:

• Mandatory and elective courses, as well as practical work experience in the study programme can be fully or partly accredited based on exams taken at other higher education institutions prior to enrolment at the FCBS, or based on references from the corresponding professional field.
• If a student has had an article published in a scientific journal, the article can be accredited in place of the bachelor thesis.
