In addition to the above courses, the average grade obtained upon completion of high school has the same role when enrolling at the Faculty of Economics. Components of the state matriculation are eliminatory, which means that if a candidate does not achieve the minimum number of points on these components, they will not appear on the list for enrolment at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek.
The special achievement component (high school average grade) is not eliminatory – if a candidate’s average grade is lower than 3.5, they will get 0 points from this component, but will, but will appear on the ranking list for enrolment at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek. The required number of points for enrolment can be compensated with points obtained at state matriculation exam.

The positions students are trained for range from PC operators, business application programmers, database administrators and managers to information systems managers and engineers. By integrating their knowledge of business economics with information and communication technology practices students become competent in performing various demanding jobs in the public sector and other business systems.

The course of study starts with developing the ability to identify the necessary knowledge, contextual differentiation, deductive reasoning and extrapolating skills and using the acquired knowledge in analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating the existing knowledge levels and the needs for new skills and knowledge. The undergraduate studies aim to develop the skills and knowledge of participants up to the fourth level (capacity to implement the acquired knowledge) which represents the desirable entry level for practice, i.e. for further professional improvement.
The academic degree received on completing the undergraduate studies is Bachelor of Economics, course of study Business Informatics.
