Dear students, where to go after

completing secondary school?
Prof. dr. Julijana Kristl
Selecting a study is probably one of the most important decisions you will have to make in your life.
By selecting a study programme, as well as a university, everyone inescapably defines not just the next
few years of their life, but also their own long-term educational, professional and personal development. The decision about your study programme should not be made lightly. I will be honoured if you
choose a study programme at the University of Ljubljana (UL).
12
The University of Ljubljana is the leading Slovenian university with the largest research, education and artistic potential and international
reputation. It encompasses 23 faculties and 3
academies, and almost 60% of all yearly population of students from Slovenia enrol at this university. A tradition of good practice in research
and education activities ranks it among the 500
best universities in the world, since it maintains
high academic criteria, guards the institutional autonomy and the freedom of research and
teaching. Special attention is paid to the intellectual development of students, their capabilities for gaining knowledge and the development
of innovative ideas, independent thinking and
preparation for employment. The UL provides
first, second and third cycle study programmes
formed in accordance with the goals of the
common area of European higher education.
Upon the Bologna reform, the UL implemented
novelties in three areas: content (new learning
content), implementation (new forms of education) and connection (interdisciplinary and international). It is essential to provide the highest
possible quality of study programmes, regardless
of whether they are distinguished vertically by
levels or horizontally by disciplines.
What has to be taken into account when choosing your study programme?
A good starting point to think over can be obtained by examining the content in this Guide
in detail and bringing it in line with your wishes and capabilities. In the Guide, you will find
a description of individual faculties and academies and the presentation of their first cycle
study programmes and single-cycle master's
study programmes in which you can enrol after
completing the relevant secondary school. For
this purpose, the UL provides more than 160
accredited internationally comparable study
programmes with diverse content (31 professional study programmes and 125 university)
and 7 single-cycle master's programmes for
regulated professions in accordance with European directives. Besides these, a few of the programmes are still in their development stage,
and some are already being updated. Below you
will find new information on the higher education system which will help you when choosing
a programme, during your studies and when
preparing for employment. This includes descriptions of the types of programmes, learning
outcomes and the engagement of students and
the diploma supplement.
First cycle study programmes are either professional study programmes of higher education or
university study programmes. Professional study
programmes of higher education are oriented towards acquiring a professionally applied knowledge, skills and capabilities. The university study
programmes enable students to gain knowledge
with an in-depth study of theoretical and methodological concepts. Each study programme con-
tains a curriculum with the names of subjects and

the arrangement by individual years, the number
of hours of lectures, exercises, seminars, practical
training and other activities at the faculty or academy, as well as the environment where you will
be able to gain employment after graduating. All
this data can be found at the website indicated at
the end of the description of each individual programme. The advantage of studying at our university is education based on research done in well
equipped laboratories, where you will learn about
discoveries in the selected educational area and also
develop your own through project tasks. Besides
the programmes, the UL also provides students
during their studies a diverse series of international
exchanges, extracurricular activities, career consulting, tutor assistance, digital library and more.
The professional study programmes of higher
education and university study programmes encompass 180 or 240 credit points (CP) and last
three or four years. In one academic year, students can obtain 60 credits where 1 CP means
25 to 30 hours of student work or 1500 to 1800
hours per year. This includes all activities at the
faculty, independent simultaneous learning and
preparation for assessment of knowledge. The
student's verifiable gained knowledge represents
learning outcomes that are determined by the
grade and the number of credits. Learning outcomes represent a set of knowledge, skills and
capabilities for life and work or for continuing
the education which the individual develops
during the educational process.
Qualification consists of the predefined standards of knowledge, skills and capabilities, and
learning outcomes. The European and national
qualification frameworks (being prepared in the
Republic of Slovenia) are based on the agreed
upon descriptions of levels, with defined learning outcomes and the relevant range of credits
for an individual level in terms of difficulty and
complexity of their content (http://www.nok.si).
With the desire to provide transparent qualifications that the elementary, secondary or tertiary
school students obtain during education ranging from the elementary school to the doctoral
degree, a national classification of educational
degrees called KLASIUS has been prepared in
the Republic of Slovenia. According to KLASIUS, the first cycle study programmes are classified at the 6/2 level. The general description of
the learning outcomes that the first cycle graduates are supposed to master includes:
Knowledge: in-depth professional and theoretical knowledge in a certain field supported by a
broader theoretical and methodological basis;
Skills: demonstrating and using professional,
technical, creative and conceptual skills related to the field of education and training. Operating based on forming suitable professional
opinions in planning, technical, production
and supervision functions in relation to products, services, operations and processes. Having skills for mastering difficult, complex work
processes, and capability to independently use
knowledge in new, atypical work situations.
Capabilities: capability for working in various
environments and in various functions that
require discovering and creative solving of
problems. Accepting responsibility for determining and achieving own results of work or
teamwork results. Taking supervisory responsibility for the work of others in defined fields.
The qualification for informed discussion and
solving of issues in the discipline. The capability of taking initiative for own learning,
the qualification for recognising own needs
for learning and for interactive learning in
groups.
After successfully completing the study programme, students obtain the diploma and the
diploma supplement with which they prove
their professional qualification. The diploma supplement contains detailed data on the
study programme and the student's learning
outcomes in an internationally comparable
manner. With this, the graduates demonstrate
the qualities and the value of gained knowl-
13
edge, mainly to employers or to higher education institutions for future education and
qualification.
I hope that the Guide is informative enough
so that you can find the information you need
to make an informed decision on a study programme. It is the desire of the professors and
associates at the UL that all the enrolled students find their bearings at the start of their
studies and that they complete their educational
activities successfully and in a timely manner so
that having obtained our diploma they can
tackle their professional careers, continue their
education, or both. Furthermore, to be a student
at the UL is not only stimulating and academically competitive, but also pleasant and full of
student experiences.

Student Engagement and Learning

Outcomes
The engagement of a student is the time
required on average for them to complete
the study requirements (lectures, seminars,
projects, practical training, independent
learning and examinations) to achieve
learning outcomes. Learning outcomes
represent the expected knowledge, skills
and capabilities that the student develops
during the studies. After successfully completing the examination and assessment
that are used to determine if they achieved
the prescribed learning outcomes of the
individual programme or their work, the
students obtain credits in accordance with
the accredited study programme. The
goal of the credit system is to facilitate the
planning and implementation of study
programmes, to enable national and international student mobility as well as recognition and evaluation of qualifications. For
this purpose, the credit system is related
to the descriptions of the levels in national and European qualification framework
(http://www.nok.si).
Student Centred Learning

The modern teaching and learning system is steering the educational institutions towards forming and implementing
study programmes so as to change the
traditional teaching with lectures where
the student is a passive recipient. Student
centred learning is diametrically opposed to traditional learning, because it
enables the students to responsibly form
their own learning path and to actively
participate in realizing their educational goal. The focus of the student centred
learning is content and implementation
of programmes in a manner that provides
the students more choice in content (obligatory and elective subjects), manner
(standard, online), tempo and place of
learning. With this approach, the educational institutions take over a primarily
directing and encouraging role (teachers,
tutors and Career Centres) and help the
student to form their own learning path
and to develop own learning styles and
acquire experience.

Study and Career Counselling at the

University of Ljubljana
Do you want to become a lawyer, a sanitary engineer, a teacher, a psychologist, an architect, a musician, a
biologist, an actor, a sculptor, a fashion designer, a diplomat, a doctor or a pharmacist... but you do not know
where to enrol? Maybe you have several different interests, and you do not know which study programme
encompasses all of them?
The University of Ljubljana has set up career centres at all faculties and academies, where career
counsellors provide comprehensive support for issues related to studies and career orientation. The
operation is partially financed by the European
Union, namely the European Social Fund. The
operation is being performed within the framework of the Operational Programme for Human
Resources Development for the 2007-2013 period, priority axis 3: Development of Human
Resources and of Lifelong Learning priority
orientation 3.3: Quality, Competitiveness and
Responsiveness of Higher Education.1
The central role of the career centres is to provide
support in making decisions regarding studies,
raising awareness about the importance of acquiring employment skills, additional knowledge and
competencies during the time of studies, support in
timely planning of careers and assistance to graduates during the transition to first employment.
Individual and group career counselling.

Organising workshops and other trainings for
obtaining additional competences and knowledge for effective entry onto the labour market.
Providing information about current calls for
applications for students and young graduates.
Presentation of employers and employment pos-
sibilities in their organisations.
Student visits to organisations where the stu-
dents get to know the work environment, work

requirements and the transfer of theoretical
professional knowledge into practice.
Following the career paths of graduates (a sur-
vey on employability of graduates, cooperation

with ALUMNI clubs).
Organisation of professional consultations re-
garding a lifelong career orientation.
To achieve the above goals, the career centres

organise and implement the following activities
free of charge:
Providing information about study programmes
and the employment possibilities of graduates

after completing their studies.
In a public tender for co-financing the development and implementation of the activities of career centres in higher education, which was carried out by the
former Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (now the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sport), the University of Ljubljana
obtained resources from the European Social Fund for performing the programme in accordance with the Operational Programme for Human Resources
Development for the 2007-2013 period, within the framework of the 3rd priority axis: Development of Human Resources and of Lifelong Learning; priority
orientation 3.3: Quality, Competitiveness and Responsiveness of Higher Education. For the implementation of the project, the Ministry shall pay up to
1,187,201.72, of which 85 percent will be contributed by the European Union from the European Social Fund and 15 percent by the Republic of Slovenia.
The project is being implemented from 2 July 2010 to 30 June 2013. The project coordinator for the University of Ljubljana is Maja Dizdarevi and the
representative of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sport is Janez Danijel.

Which Study Programme to Choose?
18
Choosing the study programme is a decision that

has an important effect on the individuals career, vocational and life path. Some people have
known since they were very young which study
programme and profession they will choose, others choose a study programme at the recommendation of friends, parents and acquaintances and others chose it based on the proximity of a faculty or
academy, accessibility, reputation, equipment, employment possibilities, the professors, grades from
previous schooling, etc. Regardless of the above
factors for making a choice, the key importance
is above all to be well informed about the content, curriculum and particularities of study programmes. Thus, through that information one can
narrow the gaps between expectations, interests,
the individual capabilities and the requirements of
the study programme and decrease the number of
incorrect decisions. The career centres advise you
to do the following before making a choice:
Read the introductory collection of documents
regarding study programmes that are published

on the faculties and academies web pages.
There, you will find detailed descriptions of
subjects, with content and the number of credit
points, competences that you will acquire when
successfully completing the study programme,
the conditions to complete the studies, the
method of evaluation and, of course, the conditions for registration.
Attend a presentation of study programmes at
information days and the Informativa fair.
Consult a career counsellor from the faculty or
academy, a teacher and an education counsellor

at a high school.
Inform yourself about employment possibili-
ties after completing the studies and about the

current situation and projections on the labour
market.
Attend a lecture at a faculty or academy and
obtain insight into part of a study programme

and the dynamics of the study process.
Contact the nearest Vocational Information
and Counselling Centre (CIPS), where you will

get information about professions and study
programmes and, if needed, perform a psychological testing of your interests, characteristics
and competencies.
In the event that entrance examinations are re-
quired at selected study programmes, attend the

preparations for the exams.
Get information about a study programme from
friends, acquaintances, students and graduates

of the field of study.
To get additional information, you can also use
online forums and presentations of professions

on the internet, the TV and radio.
Examining Your Interests, Personal Characteristics and Capabilities

The selection of the study programme is also influenced by your interests, personal characteristics, experience and capabilities; therefore, it is
important to know yourself. Mainly, it is necessary to answer the following questions about
yourself:
What do you want to achieve in private life and
in professional life? What are your ambitions,

goals, motives? What profession do you want to
practice? What are the most important values for
your work career? Is independence and self-reliance more important to you than teamwork? Do
you desire to perform creative, exciting work? Do
you want creative expression? Are social status,
high salary, promotions, safety, management of
others, etc. important to you? Answering the
above questions will give you a scale of the most
important personal and career values.
What brings you joy? What do you like to do?
What motivates you? Combine your interests

with a suitable field of study. Write down a list
of activities that you like to do and underline
those that you like to do most and then write
down vocations next to them. Also review
whether a first cycle, second cycle or third cycle

programme has to be completed to achieve your
goal.
What do you excel in? What can you do and
what are you capable of? What are your shortcomings that might impede you on the way to
your described goal and which you will have to
overcome? What potential difficulties in the environment might hinder you on your study and
career path? Are there any health-related limitations that prevent you to complete the studies
and to practice your profession?
Make a shortlist of programmes based on the answers and the information about the study programmes and compare them with one another.
In the event of difficulties in indentifying study
and career interests, contact the career counsellor
at your faculty or academy. Based on a discussion, you will both determine the areas at issue for
your career development and prepare a career
plan. If needed, psychological testing can also be
carried out as part of the counselling process and
is free of charge for the students of the University
of Ljubljana.
Planning the Career Path During Your Studies

What is a career path? A career path comprises
the comprehensive personal, educational and vocational development of an individual. It is a longterm, systematic, dynamic and active development
that among other things includes planned increases of competency, knowledge and employment
possibilities during the studies.
For timely and successful planning of career path,
the career centres recommend carrying out the following activities during the studies:
Actively participate in the study process through
research, discussions and completion of seminar
papers, exercises, project work and diploma theses. While doing so, link up with professors and
assistants as well as potential employers when
solving concrete cases. By actively engaging in a
study process, you will make contacts with pedagogic workers at the faculty and potential employers, you will find out about the employment
possibilities of the study programme and in practical projects you will be able to use the obtained
theoretical knowledge in practice.
Under the mentorship of a professor, you can
adapt a quality and thoughtful seminar paper or
a diploma thesis into a contribution to a scientif-
19
ic journal, a panel discussion or an expert conference. This way, you will start building your
reputation in scientific circles, and at panel discussions and conferences, you will get to know
and make contact with experts from your field
of expertise.
as possible, obtain certificates about your active

cooperation or participations that you will include as an attachment to your curriculum vitae.
Active career management means acquiring pro-
fessionally related acquaintances. Use personal

and online networking with professors, employers and representatives of professional societies
(on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.). Follow
the news at faculties and student websites. There,
you will find information on professional and
social events and other news, and you can read
the opinions of others and exchange experience
via forums.
Participate in a student exchange programme
or practical training abroad. You will improve

your knowledge of a foreign language and obtain international and intercultural experience.
The above will also serve as a reference that you
will include in your curriculum vitae. This will
be important information for potential employers about your active knowledge of the foreign
language from the environment where you were
during the student exchange or practical training
and about your independence and capability to
adapt to new situations and to take on a global
perspective.
Participate in extra-curricular activities, i.e. stu-
dent mentorships, stand as a candidate for the

student council, student organisation, participate
actively in professional societies. You will gain
knew acquaintances, confidence and responsibility, and by participating in various projects, you
will also gain new knowledge and skills, and you
will use the obtained knowledge in practice.
Obtain practical experience by carrying out a stu20
dent practical training, student work or volunteer

work. To carry out the student practical training,
student work or volunteer work, select an employer suitable for your area and at the end of the
training ask them for a written recommendation.
Make use of the possibility of free career coun-
selling at the career counsellor of your faculty

or academy. The career counsellor will provide
support in making career decisions and guidelines for forming a career plan. With advice, they
will help you prepare a motivational letter and a
CV. You can contact them whenever you do not
know how or what to do on your career path.
The development of an individuals career means
obtaining various knowledge, skills and experience. Make sure to constantly professionally
develop by taking part in formal and informal
education courses and trainings. Attend workshops and other events by the Career Centres of
the University of Ljubljana, youth organisations,
student societies and similar.
During your studies, attend the visits or presenta-
We recommend that you follow the new developments in the area of your expertise, read professional literature and participate in round tables, panel discussions and conferences. Insofar
tions of employers, which are organised by faculties and academies as well as the career centres.
And do not forget to bring your CV or a CV
calling card with you. This way, you will make a
good impression on the potential employer, who
might provide you with the opportunity to perform practical training, student work and later
employment.

After completing their studies, graduates understand and master the basic principles of performance: from simulation through improvisation
to interpretation and artistic performance. The
study opens up the possibilities for individual
and group examination of acting potentials and
thus establish field for laying out an artistic vision and connection with its realisation. The
programme prepares graduates for analysing circumstances and changes in their psycho-physical
structure when transitioning from the real world
into the fictitious space of the play, stage and performance. During their studies, students form
the first outlines of their performing personality,
namely a special personal structure that the actors use in their artistic creation. The programme
offers a wider and in-depth insight into the Slovenian theatrical field, namely it encompasses its
critical evaluation and simultaneously makes a
professional comparison with current theatrical
creative processes and achievements abroad. The
required programme that graduates acquire is expressed and given meaning in the public space in
Slovenia and abroad.

The basic goal of the programme is to prepare
graduates in accordance with the selected field
of study (directing, shooting, editing) for independent creative and professional work when
making documentaries, feature films, TV dramas, TV shows of various types and other forms
of audiovisual work. During the study process,
students get to know theoretical basics, esthetical
and content- related starting points, technological procedures and practical tools that relate to
the preparation, production and postproduction
of audiovisual work. At the same time, they also
form their own expression by creatively executing increasingly complex projects with esthetical
and technical conceptualisation and realisation.
The programme contains basic knowledge, so
that after completing the studies, graduates can
successfully work in the audiovisual field, and at
the same time the chosen filed within the programme (directing, shooting, and editing) provides enough specialised knowledge and experience for complete and independent performance
of tasks in the selected field.

During their studies, graduates in theatre directing primarily develop knowledge and capabilities in regard to their own relation to the actor,
the theatre event, sound, space, scripts and the
wider social, artistic and other dimensions of the
theatre event. While doing so, their creativity in
connecting the above mentioned elements into a
coherent and convincing structure of experience
that is based on theoretical and practical knowledge of human psychology, psychological types,
group psychology and dynamics and managing
active and effective direction through verbs, pictures and ideas that are inspirational and feasible
is key. Graduates become equipped with appropriate skills for management and communication
and economy in the dramaturgic use of theatre

ABOUT THE ACADEMY

The Academy of Fine Arts and Design of the
University of Ljubljana focuses on teaching and
researching artistic creation, design, restoration
and conservation of artwork as well as theoretical
knowledge in these fields. As the highest educational and artistic institution in the field of visual
arts in the Republic of Slovenia, the Academy of
Fine Arts and Design strives to preserve excellence
in educational, artistic, research and professional
development activities. It relies on European artistic, educational, scientific and general cultural
tradition since antiquity, consolidating the nations
independence and boosting the visibility of Slovenia in Europe and on a wider global level.

The study programme follows the criteria that
was formed within the sculpture department in
recent years and is the result of the synthesis, on
the one hand, of the classical values of art culture
that the UL ALUO has cultivated since its establishment onwards and on the other hand the
modern perception of reality that through the
medium of sculpture provides a statement about
the complex subjects in an individual's living environment in this technicism period of globalisation as well as simple concepts from everyday
life that in the past existed outside the sculptural
structure but through which today sculpting art
expresses sensitive and active content of what is
"real". Because the field of sculpture is constantly
expanding and changing, the educational work of
the professors also follows this dynamic, and the
professors introduce students to various sculpting
practices that can even be exclusionary among
one another. The diversity of principles that find
legitimacy within the same artistic institution is
the warrant for its conceptual breadth that is required to form anyone entering the medium of
sculpture.

The programme provides a wide professional education to future designers that will enable them to
analytically define and creatively solve design problems in the most diverse areas of human residential
needs. Design, planning and art seminars are accompanied by general theoretical subjects from esthetical, humanistic, technical and social economic
sciences. The purpose of these subjects is not to obtain a broad knowledge, but to encourage interests
for individual disciplines and their importance in
the design process. Formally, the graduates of this
programme are designers, but the practice shows
that the possibilities of later employment are completely open. Some graphic design graduates specialise in illustration, others in photography, others
in marketing and others in general graphical design.
On the other hand some graduates of industrial design take creative jobs in the industry and others
engage in small-scale or one-off designer products.
It seems that these open possibilities are the greatest
quality of the design studies at our school.

Restoration is a specific activity that deals with
preserving, studying, care and maintenance, in
short, with the conservation and restoration of
cultural and natural heritage. Art heritage and
or artworks are an indispensable part of every
cultural heritage. Artwork represents a large part
of cultural heritage sculptures and paintings in
various techniques, qualities and various sizes.
Professionally, they are categorised as paintings
on canvas, panel paintings, paintings on other
supports, wall paintings, mosaics, wood (polychromed) plastic arts, stone (polychromed) plastic arts and more complex decorative artwork.
All these pieces of art, these artworks that are an
indispensible part of cultural richness and are the
material foundation of national independence, require constant care. Only in this way can we preserve them for our descendants suitably kept and
preserved. The study programme is composed of
professional restoration work, research work and
artistic painting and sculpture creation. The syllabus is designed so that students obtain professional knowledge gradually. In the first years, the
main focus is on arts and scientific subjects; in
later years, there are expert subjects that round
off the complete programme of restoration.

Reproductive authorial graphic art is not a reproduction of an image or a statue and is never
subject to techniques or made due to the technique. Managing the material and technical requirements is understandably necessary. In today's time and the experience, the graphic art has
moved away from high technicism and decoration. Visual communication design is the creative
research of new media. Students obtain specific
skills of electronic digital technology with which
they build a structural field of video images, video
sculptures, video space, video art internet installations and 3D computer animation. The lectures
also encompass chapters on aesthetics and the
history of media art. At the postgraduate studies,
the video is interdisciplinarily connected with the
scientific research field, primarily the Faculty of

In the conception process, the drawing is the first
note that the artist creates out of their feelings
and emotions. It is the first conception. When
they put it on paper or any other surface, they
enable a formal consolidation of the inner image
that is enveloped in the conception. However,
because the drawing is flexible and at the same
time a reflection of looking (description) and
the result of inspection (recording), it is a visible accomplishment of perception and thought
patterns. This means that it can supplement or
change the regular structure of perception, recognition, thinking and creation. Thus, its materialised (drawn) form is a point of alteration between the appearing and the conceived, between
the already seen and the unseen, with one word
it is a movable tool. What about the painting?
At first, the painting is the condition of space.
If it is used as a structural skeleton that enables
the adaptation to the real world, it is a window
into the world. If it is chosen with the intent to
represent a closed optical space, it establishes an
independent image language in a universal space
with hidden tensions. If the painting is compared
with the body, it was chosen with the intent to
establish through historical references an optical
inspection and psychical organisation where the
chaos endangers the perception of the body and
wipes the art experience from the space.

and management of agricultural companies and
related fields in practice, not just in terms of food
production but also in terms of their environmental, natural science and sociological aspects,
graduates require not just plenty of broad theoretical knowledge but mainly useful practical
knowledge and skills. Emphasis primarily lies
on knowledge and skills from the fields of the
technology of breeding, the production of feedingstuffs, food and the control, selection and economics required for independent management
of livestock production on farms, in agricultural
companies and in companies that engage in the
breeding of domestic animals. Graduates also obtain knowledge to take expert production, technology and marketing related measures based on
economical calculations, analyses and comparisons of various alternatives in a given and/or anticipated changed circumstances. The obtained
expert and practical knowledge enables graduates
to obtain employment in agriculture, primarily
in livestock-oriented farms and companies. It also
enables employment in a broad area of activities
related to agricultural production and increase of
livestock, processing and sales.

This study programme is a technical and natural
science related and explicitly application oriented study programme. Students gain knowledge
of wood, expand this knowledge with application-oriented knowledge of technologies for processing and working wood and fibre composites
and obtain the basics of construction knowledge
and organisational and economic knowledge
that is important for application in practice. The
knowledge of undergraduates is based on understanding the structure and properties of wood as a
renewable engineering material, development and
use of technologies and technological processes
in wood economy, development of products and
the principles of the operation of companies and
the marketing of products. Graduates know how
to evaluate wood as a sustainable source, find
ways for its optimum use, manage and plan the
technologies for processing and working wood
and wood composites, construct wood products,
organise and manage a smaller company and
manage wood and wood products. The obtained

The basic programme goal is to train an expert/
architect to carry out designated tasks in architectural design and project engineering and spatial management. The architect's responsibility
comes from the importance of architectural design, building quality, building alignment with
the environment and respect for nature and the
urban landscape, which is in public interest. The
profile of an architect is very complex because
they must be capable of thinking about people
and spatial issues using the most diverse criteria:
from regional and planning criteria to architectural details and vice versa. They must build on
modern theoretical and technological knowledge,
expand them and strive towards balance between
the functional/technical and artistic components
of architectural planning. The educational profile
of an architect combines technical, sociological
and humanistic knowledge into the capacity to
arrange and design spaces and buildings. The
results of the architects planning can be socially
recognisable also as works of art.

Analytical Sociology
Analytical sociology deals in real life and current social events. It is "a sober sociology" that
tries to understand and explain social phenomena and their influence on private and intimate
lives of people. Many elective courses and good
opportunities for studying abroad make it possible for students to easily adapt the studies to
their interests. The possibility of cooperation in
our research enlivens the studies with practical
work and provides work experience and additional income. We prepare students for analysing
social phenomena, processes, life styles and mutual relations, for consulting on various trends of
social developments and managing changes and
social conflicts, for planning, organising and coordinating social science research and analytical
and research work. The most inquisitive continue
the study at our postgraduate programmes, other

off by a large share of elective subjects. Organised
practical work is aimed to equip students of all
levels with the broad and thorough professional
experience necessary for entering the labour market. Another Faculty advantage is its strong encouragement of the students to study abroad and
its facilitation thereof. In accordance with the
European tradition of Enlightenment the Faculty cultivates the spirit of political and world view
independence, respect for all types of diversity,
autonomy and informal relations with students.
Thus, it develops free-thinking, critical, creative,
communicative and daring young intellectuals,
whose work is an important contribution to Slovenian society, while their knowledge enriches
the universal nature of humanity, simultaneously
retaining various value systems and cultural identities.

Social Informatics
European Studies

The study programme is interdisciplinary, because
it is intended for social scientists interested in computer technologies, the internet and new information technologies as well as for computer scientists
interested in the social sciences. It is designed so
that students obtain knowledge from social science
disciplines, in large part according to their own
choice, and at the same time enter the world of
statistics, methodology and data analysis, informatics and computer science. In the modern world,
the role of sociological information scientists increased unexpectedly, because we are experiencing
and incredible development of technologies and
production of a large amount of data that needs
to be analysed not only from the technical but also
from the sociological standpoint. Based on analyses, the students learns how to critically evaluate
social situations and is specifically prepared for
understanding the role of modern technologies in
the information society and other social aspects of
informatics. Students can make their way across
the course of the social informatics study through
a professional study programme which is more
practice-oriented or through an academic study
with more in-depth content. The study is practiceand research-oriented, the majority of professors
and assistants are also researchers at the Centre for
Methodology and Informatics which is one of the
best rated research groups in recent years in Slovenia. The possibilities of employment are wide;
the knowledge from the area of social informatics
is always needed in various companies, organisations and institutions, state administration, the
public and private sector etc.

The study programme is intended for students
who want to be one of the first generation at FDV
who will tackle Europe, its role in the world and
the place of Slovenia in it. Study contents are
cultural diversity, social processes and relations,
studying European institutions, economy, legislation and politics. The motto of the study programme is to recognise issues and find solutions.
The study programme teaches argumentative and
negotiation skills in foreign languages, how to
form standpoints, to participate in discussions,
to criticise, make decisions, to convince and to
win. Europe and the European Union, get ready
- hard negotiators, reliable partners and excellent
leaders are coming. Graduates can continue the
practical, advisory, analytical and research work
in EU institutions and other international organisations, in ministries and other state bodies,
in companies and other non-governmental organisations.

Media and Communication Studies are an interdisciplinary study area which in its analysis of the
role of media and communications in modern
society is based in other sociological and humanistic disciplines. In the framework of various obligatory and elective courses, the students study
cultural, economic, political, historical or sociological aspects of the modern media society and
the position of media and popular culture in this
society. The study programme is composed of a
theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical
analysis of media culture and communications is
prevalent, but at the same time in the 2nd and 4th
year a series of skill-based modules are provided
to students within the subject Media Practicum
(photography, creative writing, design in advertising, MTV production etc.) where they get to
know media and cultural production in practice.
This way, they learn how to use theoretical knowledge in creative or research professions related to
media and communications. The programme is
academically exacting and intended for students
interested in theoretical analytical approach to
social phenomena and to those with a critical research and creative nature.


Marketing Communications and Public Relations is a study programme at FDV that is based
on studying marketing and public relations. The
content of the studies is internationally comparable, dynamic, multi-branched and makes students broadly sociologically knowledgeable marketing and communications experts. What does
integrated market communication mean, how are
marketing relations conducted and what are the
little secrets of the great masters of marketing and
public relations? All these questions are answered
during the Marketing Communications and Public Relations study programme. Graduates obtain
employment in job roles that provide creative and
lively work and which demand action. Graduates
can be found among essential experts n company
managements and in governmental and non-governmental organisations, among advisors, planners and performers of market communication
activities in advertising, public relations, sales
promotions, media planning, market research,
in the area of sponsorships and donations, private entrepreneurships, online communications;

The study programme is an interesting mixture
of anthropology, cultural studies (studying modern, mainly popular culture), religious science
and some more interesting sections from sociology and philosophy. The programme offers a
high level of choice in studying which enables
students to get to know, from very different sides,
the written world of values, aesthetics, religions,
life styles and identities that compose the cultural landscape at the beginning of the 3rd millennium. During the studies, we teach the students
to critically understand and analyse various aspects of the cultural reality, from popular TV
shows such as Sex in the City to culturally conditional human creativeness, from street (sub)
cultures, such as graffiti art and hip-hop, to the
issues of national and global culture, from new
religious movements to cultural differences in
determining what is "normal" femininity or masculinity. Graduates can obtain employment in
various cultural institutions (galleries, museums,
festivals and similar), in editorships of printed
press and electronic media, in research centres,
departments for marketing, cultural centres
etc. Everywhere where there is any place for independent and creative spirits.

The world is growing smaller. The images and
messages from the farthest places arrive to us
instantly. Our lives are directly influenced by
events, issues and crises all over the world. We
can let others tell us about these events or we can
try to understand them ourselves. In what group
do you belong? How to study, plan and act in
this diverse and interwoven world of countries,
international governmental and non-governmental organisations, transnational companies
and social movements? International Relations
is a study programme that gives answers to such
questions. Even more. After the completion of the
studies, the graduates enter the world confidently and competitively, because they have learned
several foreign languages and have organisational
and managerial capabilities. They are known due
to their excellent negotiations skills, and broad
knowledge enables them to adapt to every working environment. Graduates can be found in the
private and the public sector, in all areas of foreign affairs and diplomacy, in international organisations and European institutions and in the
economic and business area, actually everywhere
where they are aware of the importance of globalism.

The study programme deals with the mastery of
writing, speaking and appearance in its diversity.
Besides the skill of reporting, good journalistic
work also requires many, mainly broad sociological and communication knowledge that help
in the reporting. Knowing and understanding
spoken and written genres, respect and compliance of the code and the knowledge of the basic of
law is essential. Journalism deals with many areas,
thus in later years of the studies, the students can
focus on the economic, political, defence or cultural area, on the area of international relations
and to social content or sports. The professional
course of graduates can lead to media editorships,
the management of daily newspapers, magazines,
radio and television stations, to freelance journalism and many other directions.

The basic study goal is to train students for work
in leading positions in public administration,
the public sector, politics and economy and for
work in EU institutions. In order for them to be
successful, they require a broad theoretical and
specific practical knowledge of numerous areas.
During the study of policy analysis and public
administration, the students obtain basic political
science and public administration-related knowledge and get to know and develop understanding for the field of the analysis of public policies
and its use in the practical course of European
decision making processes. Students should also
know law, as well as economic, wider sociological
knowledge, methodology and informatics. The
more you know, the greater your value, therefore,
when studying the policy analysis and public
administration, the students also acquire basic
and special knowledge of the EU. The breadth
of the knowledge opens the doors for graduates
in political and state institutions at different levels, in public administration and in the economy,
in various services in the wider public sector and
also in the EU institutions. The close connection
of the study programme with the work of the
Centre for Political Science Research enables the
students to also develop academic and research

Resources Management

Politics and the State is an interdisciplinary sociological programme that connects political, sociological, communication, cultural, natural science, defence science and military subjects. With
numerous scientific disciplines and practical
knowledge, the study provides students with the
knowledge for working in the area of governance,
management, consultation and conflict solving in
the national and international security environment. The study provides a choice between two
different modules that make it possible to specialise in the area of general defence, security and
peacekeeping affairs or in the area of military (in
cooperation with the Slovenian Armed Forces).
Graduates thus join experts for international
and national security, because the knowledge of
security is a rare good. In many cases, graduates
find employment in state bodies, bodies of the
Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior or
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in non-governmental
organisations, in international security structures
of the alliances NATO, EU, OSCE, the UN, in
military diplomacies, in military structures as
military officers and military workers in Slovenia
or abroad, in structures of protection and rescue.

The study programme deals mainly in understanding the connection of the modern practice
and guidelines in the area of human resources
management and the wider social and economic
changes. Without understanding modern social
economic concepts, there are no ideas and no
broader understanding of the world around us.
By studying human resources management, the
students obtain an in-depth theoretical knowledge and a detailed insight into the concepts in
the area of political sciences, economics, psychology, law and communication sciences. The career
takes the graduates into analytical, managerial
and advisory work in the field of human resources in companies, media, other organisations, associations, public institutions, state administration, international institutions etc.

UL FDV

Compared to the university programme, the
professional study programme provides less
theoretical knowledge and as a result does not
enable the discussion (at least not independently) of more complex social issues, but provides
mainly the knowledge for performing practical
methodological and statistical and informatics
tasks. Among the more important reasons why
such a professional study programme is need is
the intensive increase in the demand for human
resources that combine social and informatics
knowledge, and especially demand for a more
practical, operation-oriented profile in this field.
Also very important is the fact that an increasing part of the generation of high school students
wants an education in a professional study programme, which in turn also increases the share
of this generation that cannot or does not want to
enrol in university programmes. A similar trend
can also be noticed elsewhere in the world, because besides academic studies of social informatics more practice-oriented study programmes are
being established lately which are similar to this
programme.

subjects which also provide introductory content
of other study programmes. Electrical engineering
namely relies strongly on physics, mathematics and
computer sciences; therefore it is understandable
that the general part of the studies is intended to

otherwise often deal with other disciplines whereby
the general knowledge gives the engineer the required breadth and capability for solving the issues.

The unimagined development of technologies in
the area of electronic devices, informatics and
telecommunications resulted in the expansion
of multimedia systems, content and services that
have expanded into practically all economic and
non-economic branches of national economies.
The area of multimedia is distinctively interdisciplinary and requires knowledge from a broader
set of areas compared to other studies. Based on
our own predictions and experience, confirmed
by the experience of education providers of similar study programmes abroad, it is possible to educate a top quality multimedia engineers who on
the one hand are capable to face the challenges
of engineering research and development work
independently and on the other hand who also
have interdisciplinary knowledge from related
fields. The first cycle Multimedia university study
programme is thus based on basic systemic and

and Telecommunications. In the last, sixth semester, the students receive practical education. The
capability of abstract understanding and thinking which the students obtain during the study of
electrical engineering enables the future engineers
an extremely successful and creative work in various areas. Their employment does not necessarily involve the field of electrical engineering. They
can also be very successful in non-technical fields,
from economy to medicine. It is namely not rare to
see electrical engineers with a PhD in economy or

The basic reason for the establishment of this
study programme was to fill lack of human resources in Slovenia in the field of developing
multimedia services and engineering and application of local as well as global multimedia systems. By doing this, we also want to make a long
term impact in the Central European region. The
Multimedia Communications programmes is an
interdisciplinary integration of various scientific
fields, such as: multimedia technologies, telecommunications, design knowledge, knowledge from
the area of audio/video production and managing skills. The development trends show that it is
sensible to integrate this interdisciplinary knowledge into a joint programme that give the students an advanced series of knowledge required
for an independent or group implementation of
high-tech and complex tasks in the area of multimedia communication in the following areas of
employment: in media companies, information
systems, cable distribution systems, in providers
of multimedia and tele-information services, advertising agencies, providers of electronic security, in providers of entertainment and education

ABOUT THE FACULTY

The Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Ljubljana is the largest Slovenian institution
of higher education in computer science, with the
longest tradition of education in this field. It was
established on 1 January 1996 after the split of
the then Faculty of Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science into two faculties, the Faculty
of Computer Science and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, whereas the study of computer
science had started already as early as 1973. The
chief mission of the Faculty of Computer Science
is to educate top-level professionals in computer
and information science at all levels and to nurture

strives to be among the leading universities in our
field in Eastern and South Eastern Europe and
maintain global recognition. With our academic
and research achievements, we aim to contribute
to the evolution of the profession and the general development of our immediate environment.
At the first-cycle level, four study programmes
are offered: the university and professional programme in Computer Science and Informatics
and two interdisciplinary programmes, Computing and Mathematics in cooperation with
the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and
Administrative Information in cooperation with
the Faculty of Administration. In the second and
third cycle, in addition to the basic programmes
of Computers and Information, conducted jointly with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, a
second stage interdisciplinary study programmes
in Computer Science and Mathematics is available. We also cooperate in a series of other interdisciplinary programmes together with other
faculties and universities. In addition to standard education, the Faculty is also involved in the
on-going training of computer professionals and
experts in various fields that require knowledge

at educating students in the theoretic foundations
of computer science and the related contemporary
branches of discrete and computer mathematics.
We wish to provide graduates with a broad overview of the bases of mathematics and of computer science so that they will be able to master and,
at a later stage, develop new advancements in this
field. An important goal is to ensure continuity
in the field of educating highly skilled staff required for work with new technologies that are
yet to appear and professionals who will be able
to pursue and share research and innovation activities in the field of computer science and computer mathematics. Future engineers will also
possess appropriate prior knowledge to make the
transition to new interdisciplinary fields, where
a good command of theoretic computer science
and of the relevant mathematical background is
crucial, such as certain biotechnology branches
(for instance the fields of genetics and bioinformatics), biomedicine, theoretic chemistry, etc.
Graduates will be well equipped to work in the
development of IT and for research work in the
fields of mathematics and computers, and this
solid foundation will help them acquire new
knowledge in the rapidly developing world of
computer science.

students a sound and broad enough theoretic basis in the first two years and then specialisation in
more focused relevant computer and information
science fields in their third year. It prepares the
students for responsible independent expert work
in all fields requiring the participation of welltrained computer professionals. Graduates will be
able to develop, manage and maintain computer
user and systemic equipment as well as information systems based on this technology and will
also be able to follow, after they have finished the
undergraduate course, the progress of the branch
and technological advancements. The aim is to
educate skilled professionals, who will be capable
of successful integration into expert work processes both in domestic and international environments or who will pursue their studies at the
second cycle level.

The first cycle Computer and Information Science professional study programme is unified
throughout the first year. In the second year,
students can choose ten subjects and in the third
year six subjects from the proposed list, whereby
they must take into account certain conditions
for individual subjects. Out of the subjects selected, at least two must be of a specialised type
defining the professional focus of the student.
Two of the elective courses can be selected from
outside the students study programme. In addition to that, practical work and the writing of the
graduate paper are also required in the third year.

The study programme provides future engineers
a wide and sound enough expert basis to be able
to follow, once they have completed their undergraduate course, the changes in technology
and to successfully take part in expert work in
both domestic and international environments.
It prepares students to independently carry out
engineering tasks in various specialised fields and
to deal with individual assignments in the wider field of computers and informatics. The study
programme abides by the concept of great flexibility, so that, besides the basic knowledge and
skills crucial for future engineers, students can
choose topics and focuses according to their own
preferences, motivation and qualities by taking
into account the various possibilities of professional specialisation.

The basic goals of the recreational sports programme are the formation of recreational sports
animators to work in sports and tourism related
service activities and the formation of recreational sports animators to work in leisure service activities. This line of work requires mainly the following competences that students develop during
their studies: understanding of the anthropological-kinesiological foundations of sports, understanding of bio- and psychosocial characteristics
of various groups of people, sensitivity/openness
towards people, consideration of social circumstances of sports, knowledge of the health aspects
of sports, knowledge of the physiological foundations of sports, understanding of the biomechanical principles of sports, knowledge of the basics
of tourism, understanding of the link between
sports and tourism and of the place of sports animation in tourism, knowledge and understanding of the organisational schemes in sports and
in tourism, knowledge of the physical, motor and
health characteristics of children, adolescents,
geriatrics and special groups of people, mastering of the appropriate diagnostic procedures in
the professional field, the capacity to analyse and
plan sports exercise for various groups of people.

The Athletic Training study programme forms
experts who will work in the fields of youth sports,
quality sports, top sports and disabled persons
sports. Athletic training is a systematic pedagogical process that is similar to sports education,
the difference being that the didactic principles,
forms and methods of work are adapted to a homogenous group of training athletes (in terms of
knowledge, motor capacities, physical characteristics and especially motivation). A coach leads
the training athlete through the lengthy training procedure, which includes all phases of the
learning process: work planning, transmission of
new teaching content, knowledge consolidation,
monitoring, verification, and competition An
important characteristic of a coachs work is individualisation, for a coach must adapt his or her
work to the training athlete(s) much more so than
a schoolteacher would adapt to various children.
Students will acquire all the latest theoretical
and practical knowledge to plan, organise, manage and analyse the training process to meet the
needs of top sports at all levels and of the field of
the service sector. Graduates will be able to find
employment in sports clubs, associations, national sports discipline associations, various sports

with the capacity to read demanding texts in the
original, the understanding of Greek literature
and culture and of the role that Greek literature
and philosophy from Antiquity and later periods
played in European literature and culture from
the early Humanism period to the modern age.
They can use the methods of philological text
analysis and are capable to understand various
literary works and explain them within historical
context. They can use primary and secondary literature and expert manuals. They will possess the
basic knowledge to carry out independent work
in the fields of research, literary translation, writing, publishing, archiving and other fields, but
they may also contribute to activities where proficiency in Greek and basic knowledge of Latin

Graduates of the Slovene Studies programme will
have acquired the knowledge and developed the
competences considered, according to international criteria, basic knowledge and skills from
the field of Slovenian linguistics and literary science. What their knowledge acquired through
this programme might lack in depth is compensated for by the broader perspective opened up
by combining their concepts with the knowledge
and capacities acquired through the studies of
the other discipline. In spite of reduced intensity,
their knowledge in the scientific field of Slovenian studies will enable them to appropriately classify linguistic and literary principles into a system
and also into a broader social context, providing
them with understanding of the relations between non-artistic and artistic texts, between language and individuals and between language and
society. The acquired knowledge allows graduates
of the proposed programme to carry out certain/
specific (moderately demanding) tasks related to
Slovenian literature, language, texts and their
characteristics, in various media, notably at bookstores (especially specialised), and also in publishing, printed and electronic media, cultural institutions and public/government administration.
And, it is precisely due to the two-subject nature
of the study programme that the graduates will
be well equipped to work in fields dealing with
the presentation and promotion of Slovenian language and literature or with cultural animation
such as tourism.

Sociology of Culture
General Linguistics

The programme considers the direction in which
modern society is evolving. It recognises the emergence of new combinations and fusions between
social spheres, which means that culture can no
longer be understood without understanding
these processes: the sociology of contemporary
societies therefore requires the inclusion of analytical procedures developed to analyse cultural
practices in the strict sense of the word. The concept of the study programme is to start by building on the broad fundamental sociological and
wider knowledge of social and humanity studies
that in later years is developed into special and
particular fields of sociology. The specifics of
these theoretical and topical orientations provide
the basis to study the processes of the formation
of collective identities, national identity and the
cultural division of the society between tradition
and the challenges of modern times.
This enables students to identify and understand
the cultural and identity policies of the national community and the confrontation of local
particularities in the organisation of collective
cultural life with the broader contexts of integrative and globalising processes; these lead to the
convergence of cultures and the revaluation of
intercultural contacts. The orientation of the programme serves an important purpose of forming
professionals, who can boldly and independently
contribute to the development of the countrys
intercultural dialogue and its visions of global
cooperation.

The students will have acquired the competences of humanities intellectuals and special competences that open up the path towards understanding of the general and particular questions
of theoretical and applied linguistics. At the theoretical level, they learn about the history of linguistics, the prevailing schools of linguistics and
Slovenian contributions to linguistic theory. At
the applied level, they are able to take a stance on
questions of linguistic policy of majority and minority linguistic communities as well as regards
the questions of Slovenian minorities abroad;
they are capable of recognising the relations and
problems arising in the relation of human being
language as well as appease or eliminate potential

FACULTY OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY

PROGRAMME
Geotechnology and
Mining Engineering
Industrial Geoengineering
(UL NTF + UL EF)

European engineering programmes are supposed to be at least at levels comparable to those
of Northern American universities. Therefore,
this programme guarantees the following qualification attributes or competences: basic expert
knowledge in the field of mining and geotechnology obtained through selected topics from
the fields of natural sciences, technology, management and information and communication
technology, the ability to understand the theoretic backing of professional subjects, application of
methods, the capacity to combine natural science
knowledge with knowledge from other engineering disciplines, the capacity of independent work
in applicative projects in mining and geotechnology, the capacity to understand geological facts
in the planning and construction of buildings
and the ability of optimised use of machines
and devices in the planning and construction
of buildings. Besides the above, it is important
that graduates understand the business aspects of
a company in regard to its income and expenditures and the cost of building, raw material harvesting, etc. by taking into account environmental issues in order to plan projects that minimally
affect the environment and people.

The programme carried out by the Department
of Geotechnology and Mining of the Faculty of
Natural Sciences and Technologies and the Faculty of Economics stems from the need to harmonise programmes within Europe. This is a
higher education programme corresponding to
the needs of present-day economics and of other subjects requiring economists in the field of
geoengineering in the Republic of Slovenia, the
EU and Southeast Europe. The Industrial Geoengineering programme is the only such course
in Slovenia. In the Republic of Slovenia alone,
some 25 million metric tonnes of energetic and
non-energetic mineral raw materials are harvested per year; in addition, some 15 million tonnes
of waste material are generated annually. Each
year, there proves to be an increasing demand
for professionals with mining-geotechnological
and economic knowledge, who can see to it that
the acquired mineral substances, economical and
safely constructed underground areas and waste
material are disposed of in a manner that will
have as little negative impact on our environment
as possible.

Graphic and Interactive

Communication
Materials Engineering

Materials have for millennia influenced human
living conditions. The modern age would be unfathomable without the sheer variety and number
of materials. Without concrete and steel, there
would be no buildings or roads; without copper,
the distribution of electricity would simply not
be possible. All means of transport make use of a
great variety of materials and material combinations. The optimum choice of materials used in
devices and buildings allows for the achievement
of power requirements, safety, environmental
problem solutions, comfort and state-of-the art
technical products at affordable prices. Information technology is based on the development of
modern materials and building blocks such as for
instance complex semiconducting materials and
glass fibres. New materials such as nanomaterials
have potential that we are still unable to evaluate.
Therefore, the basic goal of the Materials Engineering programme is to train professionals who
will be able to integrate themselves into real-life
industrial processes, improve them, use their
knowledge of engineering and natural sciences to process, analyse and design new materials
and choose the right materials for the devices and
buildings of the future.

Graphical activity is a typical service activity,
for it does not offer products but services. Using
graphical technologies, it enables the dissemination, exchange and storage of information in the
form of graphical products. Almost all of the production is intended for known customers, publishing houses and any company, organisation or
individual. The characteristics of industrial production and organisation come from the division
of labour typical of the field since Gutenbergs
time. Todays market is full of companies partly
or entirely dedicated to the creation of graphical
products. The division of labour is thus present
not only in printing plants but also in other processes of the wider field. The basic goal of the
Graphic and Interactive Communication university study programme is to raise up professionals
capable of managing the most demanding processes in the graphical industry and in interactive
communication and at the same time provide
them with the appropriate fundamental knowledge in profession-related issues and in natural
sciences to pursue second cycle studies.

Planning Textiles and

Clothing
Textile and Fashion

Design

The Slovenian and European clothing and textile
industry in general faces great challenges for future development during this period of completely free circulation of the textile trade. The sectors
future status depends on measures that will increase its competitive edge. More investment will
have to be made into research and development,
stimulation of innovation and appropriate human
resource policies. The human resource situation is
all the more problematic in Slovenia because of
the total disintegration of secondary school level
education in the field, first in the field of textile
industry and now in the field of the clothing industry. The basic goal of the Planning Textiles
and Clothing university study programme is to
raise up professionals capable of managing the
most demanding processes in the clothing and
textile industry and train them to design complex products and technological processes. At the
same time, it provides them with the appropriate fundamental knowledge in profession-related
issues and in natural sciences to pursue second
cycle studies.

Textile and fashion design is a discipline that may
well originate in traditional artisan skills, but it is
one that has, over the course of the past century,
developed a proprietary system of expression associated with artistic and other design practices
and theories. The creative process of a textile designer generally begins with an idea that has to
be visualised first using graphic means and then
later or simultaneously the designer seeks the appropriate technical processes to carry it out. The
concept of conceptualising and materialising the
idea requires plenty of knowledge and experience
from the fields of artistic disciplines, social science and knowledge of production technologies.
Based on 25 years of experience in textile and
clothing design and in collaboration with foreign
higher education institutions, a new concept of
studies has been developed that uses four parallel study verticals: fundamental parallel studies
of textile and clothing design; expressive artistic;
technological support in the implementation of
design ideas; support including required knowledge and the development of skills in the field of
computer-assisted design, knowledge from the
field of textile and clothing design history and
marketing and management skills.

The Geotechnology and Mining Engineering
study programme provides natural science and
technical education following advances in the
field of geoscience or non-living nature. Recent
trends show a growing need to complement this
knowledge framework with the concepts of other
sciences such as economics and information technology. First cycle graduates will have acquired
the competence to work directly in a vast fields of
application related to mineral raw material harvesting, such as primary processing, underground
construction, drilling technology, measuring and
monitoring procedures in nature, the evaluation
and transformation of work procedures in nature,
rehabilitation of degraded surfaces, environmental management, solid waste handling, etc.

computer technologies has brought considerable
interconnections with other media, distribution
of the production of graphical items, change in
organisational structures, the need for new skills
and great changes in existing professions and the
creation of new graphics-related professional profiles. The basic goal of the Graphic and Media

Metallurgical
Technologies
Textile and Clothing

Production

Renewed interest in steel in the new millennium
and the fact that it cannot be replaced by any
other material for specific purposes has brought
about an increasing demand in graduates of the
metallurgical discipline. The annual global production of steel places it in second place among
the most frequently used materials, right after cement. An exceptional grade of high-quality steel
and other non-ferrous metals and their alloys is
a crucial principle of globally successful economies, guaranteeing future technological advancements. The basic goal of the first cycle Metallurgical Technologies study programme is to train
graduates experts, who will be able to integrate
themselves immediately into the implementation
of industrial processes, control and improve them
and master quality control and industrial product testing. Given that the methods developed to
control metallurgical processes and technologies
and the methods of metallic material characterisation have been transferred to other types of
engineering materials, an important objective of
this study programme is to educate engineers for
product quality control, associated primarily with
the characteristics of most engineering materials.

Analyses done in the EU show that under certain
circumstances, the textile industry might have a
future in developed economies. It may only grow
by abandoning mass production items and replacing them with textile and clothing products
with high added value, good quality and top design, creative products of the future, technical
products, medicine textiles, intelligent textiles
and the like. The goals are closely associated with
appropriate knowledge and highly skilled professionals that are able to design, engineer and produce innovative products meeting the demands
of the most discerning customers and announce
their future needs and requirements. The basic
goal of the programme is to train such experts,
who will be able to manage technologically demanding processes in the production of yarn,
textiles, knitwear and knitting materials, fibres,
clothes and other ready-to-wear products as well
as the processes of whitening, textile printing and
a broad array of textile finishing procedures.

The Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana
is one of the founding faculties of the University
of Ljubljana and the oldest and largest law faculty in Slovenia. It was founded in 1919, and the
first lecture was conducted by its first dean, Professor Leon Pitamic. Since its foundation, it has
been educating experts in the field of law who
have held prominent positions in Slovenian society and shaped the countrys legal environment.
Today, the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana occupies

In this motivational environment, students may,

during the course of their studies, actively participate in various other forms of knowledge and
skill acquisition, also abroad, that are of great importance for successful later work in the field of
law. The participation of student teams at international competitions is one such example that
has become a frequent occurrence over the past
few years (e.g. in international commercial arbitration (Vienna), human rights law (Ren Cassin, Strasbourg), international public law (Jessup,
Washington), asylum and humanitarian law
and EU law (ELMC and Central and East EU
Moot)); equally important is the international
student exchange in the context of the LLP-Erasmus programme.

The basic goal of the first cycle university study
programme in Law is to form the professional
profile of an expert who will be able to work independently in any legal profession that does not require taking the State Bar Examination. Students
whose goal is to take the State Bar Examination
are provided a quality basis for further studies according to the second cycle study specification.
Typical professions for the profile of a graduate
in the first cycle university study programme in
Law are those in the economy, administration
with the possibility of conducting administrative
proceedings and secondary legal professions.
In the first year, the programme consists of general and introductory subjects that provide students
with a broad spectrum of education and the foundations to pursue studies of individual legal areas.
Also, part of the first year curriculum is the field
of constitutional law, which studies the constitution as the hierarchically supreme legal act. The
focus of the second years curriculum is on criminal law, which is one of the supports of the legal
system. The second year course also includes the
delineated fields of labour law and social security
law. The third year focuses entirely on civil and
commercial law. Then the fourth year finishes off
the programme with fields of public law such as
the administrative and international fields.
