Interview for Candidates from Countries with Higher Migration Risk

Pursuant to the Higher Education Act (ZViS-1; Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 56/25; Article 13), higher education institutions are required to conduct a direct interview with foreign citizens from countries with higher migration risk who have submitted an application for enrolment in higher education studies in the Republic of Slovenia. The purpose of the interview is to assess the candidate’s suitability in relation to the admission requirements of the study programme.

The interview is a mandatory part of the application and admission procedure and is conducted before the further professional and administrative processing of the application for enrolment.

Invitation and Interview Procedure

The candidate receives an invitation to the interview by email, sent to the email address provided in the application for enrolment submitted through the eVŠ portal. As a rule, the interview is conducted remotely via the Zoom videoconferencing system.

If the candidate appears in person at the faculty’s premises and presents the original supporting documents, the interview may also be conducted in person at the ISSBS premises.

The candidate must join the interview on time, at the appointment stated in the invitation. At the beginning of the interview, the candidate must present a valid passport, which is used to verify their identity.

As a rule, the interview is conducted in Slovenian or English, depending on the language of delivery of the study programme.

The candidate is required to ensure:

– a stable internet connection,

– appropriate technical equipment (camera and microphone),

– a quiet and suitable environment for the uninterrupted conduct of the interview,

– a valid passport, which must be presented to the interviewer at the beginning of the interview in order to confirm the candidate’s identity.

Costs of the Interview Procedure

ISSBS may charge the candidate the costs of conducting the interview in accordance with the valid ISSBS price list. The amount of the costs and the method of payment are communicated to the candidate before the interview is conducted.

The costs of the interview must be paid before the interview takes place. If the costs are not paid by the time of the interview, it is deemed that the candidate has not fulfilled the conditions for the interview to be conducted.

Interview Results

The candidate receives the interview result within three working days after the interview, through the eVŠ system and by email.

If the candidate successfully completes the interview, their application continues to be processed within the professional and administrative procedure, including the verification of supporting documents and fulfilment of the admission requirements.

If the candidate does not pass the interview, their application for enrolment is rejected. In this case, the candidate receives a rejection decision, which terminates all procedures related to their application for enrolment.
