University of Rijeka – Faculty of Engineering (RITEH)
Rijeka, CroatiaPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Strong fit for HMU years 4-5: ~20 English mechanical courses (robotics, CNC, vibrations, precision engineering, FEM, mobile robotics) with clear matches; mostly MSc level, no basic-science or core thermo-fluids
English-taught programme: RITEH publishes ~53 English-taught courses for international students (2025/26): undergraduate (U) and graduate (G) in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, EE, Computing; levels mixable. 3-8 ECTS; Winter=autumn, Spring=summer. Most mechanical is MSc level (suits HMU years 4-5). Coordinator mfonovic@riteh.hr.
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Mechanical Engineering students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Mechanical Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
