Start with the admissions page of the North Macedonian university and faculty that owns your programme. Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (UKIM), for example, publishes a central 2026/27 admissions hub and a separate first-cycle admissions page.
Applicants who completed previous education outside North Macedonia should also check the university’s foreign-student instructions and the Ministry of Education and Science nostrification and recognition page. Recognition is a distinct step; uploading an application does not by itself confirm that a foreign qualification has been accepted.
Check the current call, study cycle, faculty, teaching language, recognition documents and submission route before acting. Admission and immigration are separate: use the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pages for passport-specific visa information and visa types.

Which official source should I use?
| Task | Official source | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Find the current university call | Chosen university and faculty admissions pages | Study cycle, places, criteria, dates and submission method |
| See UKIM’s current route | UKIM admissions hub and foreign-student enrolment page | The current call and instructions for education completed abroad |
| Check recognition | Ministry nostrification page | Which recognition service and documents match your previous qualification |
| Check immigration information | Do you need a visa? and visa types | Passport-specific entry position and long-stay route |
Is there one application form for every university?
No. A central university system may support enrolment, but the current call and faculty instructions control the programme-specific steps. UKIM’s eEnrollment information is useful for its own applicants; it should not be treated as a national application portal for every institution.
What is nostrification?
It is the recognition or equivalence process for education completed abroad. The Ministry page separates documents by education level, so choose the list for the qualification you are actually presenting. A first-cycle applicant with secondary education and a postgraduate applicant with a foreign degree may follow different document routes.
What should Singapore applicants check?
Use the full official name of your Singapore qualification and confirm how certificates, results, translations, certification and any apostille or legalisation must be supplied. Ask the faculty whether originals are required at application, conditional admission or final enrolment.
Did you know an English-language webpage may describe a programme that is taught in another language? Verify the teaching language on the programme page and current call, then check the accepted proof of language directly with the faculty.
Are the published dates reusable next year?
No. UKIM’s pages show that admissions information is tied to a named academic year and study cycle. Use dates only from the call for your intended intake, and keep a copy because later updates or additional rounds can change the available places and instructions.
What should I do next?
Shortlist the exact programme, save its current call, and confirm recognition and teaching-language requirements before paying for translations. Then use the overseas university application-requirements guide, the overseas degree-recognition guide and the overseas student-visa guide.
