DIFFERENTIAL

Graduate study of Forensics implemented at the University Department of Forensic Sciences represents an interdisciplinary area common to all the scientific areas and branches in line with advances in science and the requirements of the judiciary.

Some of the undergraduate and graduate studies are performed exclusively on a professional level and candidates from these studies cannot continue their education directly at our Graduate study of Forensics.

In order to provide further education and training of students of undergraduate and graduate professional studies at the University of Split, The University Department of Forensic Sciences has brought this plan and program of the differential module (differential exams), whereas the fundamentals for making this differential module plan are stated in further text.

Higher education in the Republic of Croatia is implemented on professional and on university levels. On the basis of article 77, item 5 of the Law on Scientific Activity and Higher Education (N.N. 123/03., 198/03., 105/04., 174/04., 02/07., 46/07., 45/09., 63/11., 94/13., 139/13., 101/14., 60/15., 131/17.), „Persons who have completed undergraduate professional study can apply for enrollment at a graduate university study in accordance with the general act of the University implementing that study, whereby their choice of enrollment can be conditioned by taking the competence exam  during the classification procedure and/or by differential exams at the beginning of the study program in the status of either full-time or part-time student.”

Classes will be organized during the academic year. Exams need to be passed by the date of the classification procedure for the academic year in which the students wish to enroll in the Graduate University Study.

In addition to classical way of education, we also envisage implementation of distance learning. E-learning enables the candidates to participate in quality teaching regardless of distance, schedule, and similar life circumstances.

This program is intended primarily for students of professional studies who after acquiring the professional title of professional bachelor intend to continue higher education at the Graduate level at the University Department of Forensic Sciences at the University of Split.
