- Chemical Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Materials Engineering
- Chemistry
- or other relevant engineering, technology or science discipline

The applicant's qualifications must include a strong working knowledge of chemistry, mathematics, physics and engineering. The minimum ECTS or equivalent credits should include the following:
- General / Organic / Physical / Analytical Chemistry: 25 ECTS
- Mathematics: 10 ECTS
- Physics: 10 ECTS
- Thermodynamics / Transfer phenomena / Mass and/or Energy Balance / Reaction or Process Engineering / Chemical Technologies / Catalysis: 15 ECTS

Admission criteria:

Applicants will be subjected to a class procedure and can obtain points in which certain elements are represented as follows:

(a) The weighted undergraduate grades yield a maximum of 60 points
- the grade point average yields points calculated according to the following formula: Px12, where P is the weighted grade point average

(b) The duration of the undergraduate study brings a maximum of 30 points
- the duration of the undergraduate studies up to 3 years brings 15 points
- the duration of the undergraduate study of 3-4 years brings 7 points
- the duration of the undergraduate studies of more than 4 years brings 0 points

(c) Awards
- awards for scientific and professional paper (10 points)
- co-authorship of a paper published in tertiary publications (10 points)
- participation in a peer-reviewed communication at a national or international meeting (5 points)
- participation in CeSaR workshops (5 points)

On the basis of the grading procedure carried out, i.e. the number of points obtained, a special ranking list of the graduate study Chemical and environmental technology of the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, will be established. The ranking list will be published on the Faculty's website, www.fkit.unizg.hr, on September 27, 2023.

Costs for the classification procedure and study enrollment:

1. When submitting an application for the classification procedure, the applicant pays the cost of the classification procedure in the amount of €15.00.
2. When enrolling in a course, the applicant pays the cost of the enrollment procedure in the amount of €40.00.

The costs are transferred to the giro account of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, IBAN: HR7223600001101338626, with the reference text "classification procedure" or "Costs for enrollment in the first year of the graduate study in Chemical and Environmental Technology". The reference number is Personal identification number (OIB) of the applicant.

Language test types and minimum test scores:
(mandatory, not older than 2 years)

When applying for admission, applicants must provide evidence of their academic achievements and proficiency in English. Copies of relevant documents must be uploaded together with the application form.

NOTE:  Candidates whose first language is English are normally exempt from this requirement. Other candidates may also be exempted if they fall into either of the two categories below:

1. current or former FCET students applying to FCET's program;
2. candidates who have earned a bachelor's or a master's degree taught exclusively in English. 
   Please note: FCET reserves the right to request proof that the program was taught entirely in English if it is not evident from the academic record provided.

To request exemption from the English language proficiency requirement, instead of uploading the English certificate through the online applications system you can upload an official university letter confirming that your bachelor’s or master’s program was taught entirely in English.

List of required documents*:

1. Transcripts and degree certificates (diploma and diploma supplement)
2. CV/resume (In Europass format)
3. Evidence of competence in English
4. Motivation Letter
5. Academic reference (contact of potential referee)

*Please note that all documents must be submitted in either Croatian or English.

Application and enrollment dates:

Applications for admission to the graduate study in Chemical and Environmental Technology will be accepted from May 15 to July 3, 2023 for foreign citizens and from September 4 to September 25, 2023 for citizens of the Republic of Croatia. Applications are submitted via the online form on the website of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology.
