Background of Croatia
Croatia, officially the Republic of Croatia, is located in South-Eastern Europe at the crossroads of the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian Plain. An EU member since 2013, it borders Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, with a maritime border with Italy and Slovenia. Croatia is classified as an emerging, high-income economy, traditionally driven by tourism, which benefits from its historical heritage, natural beauty, and pleasant climate. Zagreb, the capital, is the country's political, economic, cultural, and scientific hub.
The Croatian higher education system is structured into three cycles: undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate, aligning with the transferable credit system. This facilitates recognition of studies for international students. Most Croatian universities are public, though private university education is developing with new private institutions and colleges of applied sciences. Polytechnics and colleges of applied sciences offer first and second-cycle professional study programs.
