Slovenia Gimnazija Curriculum - Elective 2 (Chosen from Matura Subjects)

Matura Exam (End of Year 4):

Students are required to select a minimum of five subjects for the Matura exam:

• Compulsory: Slovene, Mathematics, a Second Language (English or German)
• Elective (Two or more): A range of subjects are available, including but not limited to English, German, Spanish, French, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, History, Geography, and Economics. Specific offerings may vary.

Elective 2:

One of the elective subjects chosen for the Matura exam. While the specific elective options available in the 2nd year may vary between schools and are not readily available online, they likely serve as a foundation for the Matura elective subjects chosen in the 4th year. More specific information may be available directly from individual Gimnazija schools.
