Required Subjects
Candidates with non-matching subjects may also apply in all admission periods
In addition to candidates with appropriate Matura subjects, graduates with non-matching external and internal subjects may also enroll at FINKI in all admission periods. Graduates who have not passed the appropriate external and internal subjects will have a different formula for calculating points from the Matura and secondary education achievement.
For candidates who took the State Matura from 2020/2021 through the current year
Appropriate external and internal Matura subjects for candidates applying for admission to the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering are:
Appropriate external subjects
- mother tongue (Macedonian language, Albanian language and Turkish language)
- one of the elective external subjects must be Mathematics
Appropriate internal subjects
- no restrictions regarding internal subjects
For candidates who took the State Matura from the 2013/2014 academic year to the 2018/2019 academic year
Appropriate external and internal Matura subjects for candidates applying for admission to the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering are:
Appropriate external subjects
- mother tongue (Macedonian language, Albanian language and Turkish language)
- one of the elective external subjects must be Mathematics
Appropriate internal subjects
- no restrictions regarding internal subjects
Regarding the choice of internal subjects, there is no difference in the number of points based on which subject is chosen.
We would also like to emphasize that the topic covered in the project assignment does not play a role in admission; only the grade received for it is entered.
The instructions for calculating points are provided in the section Calculation of Points.
For candidates who took the State Matura up to and including the 2012/2013 academic year
Appropriate external and internal Matura subjects for candidates applying for admission to the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering are:
Appropriate external subjects
- mother tongue (Macedonian language, Albanian language and Turkish language)
- Mathematics (at least basic level)*
Appropriate internal subjects for gymnasium education
- Physics, Informatics**, or a foreign language (at least one, and up to two subjects)
- one subject chosen by the candidate (one of the above-mentioned subjects or a completely different subject)
Appropriate internal subjects for secondary vocational schools
- Physics, Informatics**, or a foreign language (at least one, and up to two subjects)
- one vocational subject, according to the educational profile, chosen by the candidate (one of the above-mentioned subjects or a completely different subject)
For candidates who completed secondary education in the 2019/20 academic year, or before the 2007/2008 academic year, and did not take the State Matura
Appropriate external subjects
- At the candidates’ choice: Mathematics; Physics; Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering; Informatics.
Appropriate internal subjects
- At the candidates’ choice: Mathematics; Physics; Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering; Informatics.
* Graduates who take advanced-level Mathematics as an external subject will be treated equally in terms of earned points as those who took basic-level Mathematics.
** Subjects whose content corresponds to Informatics, such as Programming, Digital Systems, Digital Electronics and Microprocessors, Informatics and Information Technology, etc., are considered appropriate for admission to FINKI, just like the subject Informatics itself.
Regarding the choice of internal subjects, there is no difference in the number of points based on which two of the offered subjects are chosen.
We would also like to emphasize that the topic covered in the project assignment does not play a role in admission; only the grade received for it is entered.
The instructions for calculating points are provided in the section Calculation of Points.
