STUDY STRUCTURE

Structure of the study, rhythm of the study and students’  obligations.
  

The university graduate study of kinesiology at the Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb is an integral full-time study lasting five years altogether, and it is structured and organised into two levels of study: the university undergraduate study, lasting three years, which gives the student either a direct possibility to continue the study or the actual vocational direction (the leaving certificate level) (the first level), and the university graduate study lasting two more years (the second level).

 The structure of the study is comprised of compulsory and elective subjects, arranged in all semesters of the study, the compulsory Kinesiology in Education module (6th through to the 10th semester) and elective modules whose classes the students attend from the 7th through to the 10th semester. Such a structure of study ensures the students an appropriate rhythm of studying and, together with congruous effort and continuous work, the completion of the selected study within an optimal time period. The students progress through the study in semesters, enrolling semester by semester. The student may enrol in the next semester upon registering the previous semester as completed. Regular attendance to classes, the fulfilment of other study-related obligations and obtaining signatures of all subject leaders and teachers, who thus confirm that the student has fulfilled all the obligations, are the prerequisite for the registration of the semester as completed. The registration of the semester as completed and the enrolment in the next semester are done according to the conditions and according to the time schedule determined by the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb. The student obtains the right to enrol in the following year of the study upon fulfilling all study-related duties expressed in at least 50 ECTS credits collected from the subjects from the current year of the study, but provided that he/she does not transfer to the higher study year more than two examinations that he/she had not passed. The students who have not fulfilled the conditions for enrolling in the higher year of the study can continue to study by simultaneously enrolling again in the subjects (obligations) that they have not fulfilled in the previous academic year and in the new subjects (obligations), but in such a way that his/her total study-related obligations in each semester fall between the allowed range limits from 25 to 35 ECTS credits, that is, up to 70 credits in each year of the study. To enrol in the final sixth semester and in one of the offered elective modules form the field of sport (basketball, handball, swimming, etc.) the university undergraduate student must, before enrolling in the sixth semester, beside having regularly attended the classes and having completed the registered fifth semester, pass the examination in the compulsory subject from that sport with his/her mark being not less than least very good (4)[1].If the student elects the module from sport whose classes he/she has not yet attended because of the structure of the curriculum, that is, the module from the sport that is not in the curriculum, he/she should take and pass both the preliminary test of knowledge related to this sport and the test of specific capacities. To enrol in the desired elective module of the graduate study the student must also fulfil certain additional conditions that will be determined by the decision of the Faculty Council.  

 

[1] The 5-point scale of marking is used in Croatia: 5 – excellent (matches A), 4 – very good (matches B), 3 – good (matches C), 2 – sufficient (matches D). Insufficient knowledge is denoted by 1 – insufficient (matches F), which means that the student failed to satisfy in the examination and must take it again.
