Grades are the National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency's (NEAA), out of 10, as the register lists them. They are shown as facts, never used to rank, and a grade from one procedure isn't comparable with another's. Terms are compared with the date we read the register only; where a listed term has ended, the register lists no later decision, and this page doesn't say whether the institution is accredited now.

Capacity is the maximum number of students an accreditation decision allows — a ceiling, not the number enrolled. The register holds no student numbers; the ministry's Rating System, which has them, sits behind a browser check we don't bypass, and the national open-data portal refused our connection.

The register's current record for each field; earlier decisions for the same field are kept by the register and not shown. Bachelor's capacity includes professional bachelor's; a capacity the register gives as 0 or leaves blank is shown as —, since the register uses 0 even for fields with programmes. Some older records carry no grade or procedure.

Programmes are the bachelor's and master's programmes in the register, one row per programme and form of study (full-time and part-time are two rows). Doctoral programmes are counted, not listed. Languages are the register's language of instruction; English names are the register's own, shown only where they read as a name.

What isn't here

Not in the register: enrolment, fees, entry scores and graduate outcomes. Faculties and branches are in it, but most carry no link to their institution, so they aren't listed here.

Students from abroad: the European Commission's Study in Europe profile says applicants apply under EU-citizen rules, through bilateral agreements or as international non-EU students, and should check each university's admission requirements.
