The 3rd-cycle study programme in Sociology leads to "doktorat znanosti" (PhD degree). It is implemented by the Faculty of Arts and its goals derive from the characteristics of sociological and social studies. Besides deepening the knowledge from the first two cycles on a general theoretical-conceptual level, it offers students an additional opportunity to apply knowledge in practice.

Overview
Broad competencies developed by students increase their employment possibilities, while specific knowledge of sociology and society present high qualifications and acquaintance with concrete working tasks in the field of sociology and other social sciences, politics, economy, anthropology, pedagogy, philosophy, information science, social work, and work in governmental and non-governmental organizations.
Students´ knowledge and its application stem from scholarly research work, which involves knowing and applying statistical methodological approaches and starting-points, representing the basis for process analysis in a global society, establishing their causes and predicting their long-term consequences, and creating strategies for ameliorating their potentially negative consequences.
With an increased connection of knowledge and relations in the European Union countries, the emphasis is on students´ understanding of the significance of cooperation and integration, especially in terms of intercultural dialogue and effective professional communication, in Slovene and other languages.
The basic aim of the programme is to form an open, flexible, and well versed person who is at the same time sufficiently specialized and capable of accomplishing specific tasks demanded by the labor market at a particular moment.
During the study process, students become highly motivated, as the acquired knowledge and competencies give them opportunities to become included in a further, lifelong educational process.
