Programmes the university runs itself (6)
Programme names, fields and titles awarded are as registered, in Croatian; level, area and language labels are our translations. Language of instruction is as registered for the programme. Where two languages are listed, the register does not say whether the programme is taught in both or offered in either — ask the institution.

What isn't here
Not in the data: tuition fees (each institution sets its own), entry requirements or cut-offs per programme, and graduate outcomes. Foreign students, state-funded versus self-paying students and completion rates per institution exist in the ISVU open data of the University Computing Centre (Srce), but are not included here yet.
For typical fee ranges and living costs, see our Croatia guide.

Changes by CollegeMatcher: programmes grouped by institution and counted once per programme code; register names matched to AZVO's newer names, duplicate register records merged and predecessors' programmes filed under their successors; public/private status taken from the programme register (for two institutions with no programmes registered yet, from AZVO's totals by ownership); English labels for institution types, levels, areas and languages are our translations; contact and personal details in the register are not used.
