Abstract

Horizontal mobility enables students to enrol in courses from other study programmes within the University of Zagreb that are not available in their primary study programme, with recognition of completed exams and ECTS credits. This practice enriches their experience, fosters the development of competencies and flexibility, and is essential for adapting to modern societal challenges. The paper explains the steps that students of the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, need to take, the relevant contacts, deadlines for submitting applications, and the conditions for course recognition at their home faculty. The paper aims to facilitate students’ navigation within the horizontal mobility system, and provide the Faculty with tools for continuous improvement of this educational process. Horizontal mobility thus becomes a platform for innovation, collaboration, and enhancing students’ competitiveness in academic and professional environments. Emphasis is placed on the need for transparency and alignment among all University components, along with the newly defined guidelines, to ensure effective monitoring and improvement of the horizontal mobility system.
