General information on the study programme:	The University Undergraduate Study Programme in Sociology (single-major), in addition to specialised sociological courses that are important for the education of Bachelor graduates in Sociology, as well as courses from related disciplines that broaden their education, places emphasis on methodological, research, and analytical knowledge and skills. The study programme prepares students for entry into the labour market and equips them for diverse professional conditions and requirements. A large number of elective courses have been designed to follow current social developments as well as students’ interests, thereby enabling them to acquire additional specific professional knowledge and insights, as well as to direct their studies towards specific areas. In this regard, the University Undergraduate Study Programme in Sociology educates Bachelor graduates in the field of social sciences who will be able to competently enter the labour market and develop into experts in their respective fields. Based on the knowledge acquired, the study programme will prepare Bachelor graduates in Sociology for professional and vocational work and provide the necessary competences for continuing their education and further development in university graduate study programmes in Sociology and related disciplines.	The University Graduate Study Programme in Sociology (single-major) follows in content the University Undergraduate Study Programme in Sociology in such a way that the acquired methodological, research, and analytical knowledge is expanded through courses with a methodological and research orientation that provide knowledge and competences for the preparation and implementation of quantitative and qualitative sociological research, adapted to the scientific and research interests of each individual student. The study programme educates Master graduates in the field of social sciences who will be able to competently navigate the labour market, develop into experts in their respective fields, and continuously promote fundamental social and humanistic values in their professional work. Within their profession, a Master of Sociology is therefore competent in recognising, researching, analysing, and interpreting social problems, while their role is also evident in proposing improvements and solutions. Based on the knowledge and experience acquired, this concept of the Sociology study programme prepares future Masters of Sociology for competent professional and vocational work. At the same time, it provides the competences necessary for continuing education and further development through postgraduate study programmes in Croatia and abroad.
