INFORMATION ABOUT

Undergraduate students can only select undergraduate courses. They can select courses
from any study year. Click here to see the courses offered in English:
https://www.zsem.hr/en/international/exchange/incoming-students/courses-and-schedule/

Graduate students can choose graduate and undergraduate courses if their home
institution allows it. They can select courses from any MBA program. Please note that
graduated courses have a special schedule: they are held in modules of 1 – 3 intensive
weeks per course. To see the courses offered in the graduate program click here:
https://www.zsem.hr/en/study-programs/graduate-mba/

If the graduate students also selected undergraduate courses, they will need to attend
classes throughout the whole semester and come at the beginning of the undergraduate
semester (in February for the 2nd semester!).

INFORMATION ABOUT HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES AND HEALTH
INSURANCE.

ZSEM doesn't have a dorm, but we collaborate with 2 housing
agencies that help our students find the right accommodation.

These agencies are:
   Home in Zagreb
   Grab a Home

We have a Facebook group where students can contact other
students who are coming to ZSEM next semester and the
students who are at this moment at ZSEM. This is a very useful
way of finding roommates and asking about recommendations.

The link to the Facebook group will be sent by the Incoming
coordinator.
