Additional information
Classes are organised in diverse groups of students speaking different languages and belonging to different nationalities and age groups. Groups are formed on the basis of the results of Croatian language placement tests.
The minimum number of students necessary to organise group lessons is 5 per level. If a group cannot be formed due to an insufficient number of enrolled participants, language classes may be organised in smaller groups with fewer lessons. Alternatively, students can be offered 15 individual language lessons. In case classes are organised in smaller groups or as individual lessons, the number of lessons dedicated to culture and speech exercises remains the same.
Regular attendance and a passing grade in the final exam are required for a successful completion of Croaticum Winter School of the Croatian Language and Culture.
Classes are held every working day at the same time at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb.
