Elective courses

The third-cycle doctoral degree study programme is not divided into separate directions. Instead, it consists of two disciplinary fields of Maritime Science and of Transport Science with carefully structured elective study units:

  • one elective course from the category of core elective courses,
  • two (among seven) elective courses from the discipline-specific elective courses,
  • two (among 15; seven from the Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport, and eight from elective courses offered by other faculties of the University of Ljubljana).

Therefore, all courses in the third-cycle doctoral degree study programme are elective.
