Undergraduate study

An undergraduate programme is the first level of higher education after completing secondary school. It is intended for those who wish to obtain a formal qualification, professional knowledge and competences for entering the labour market or continuing their studies. It includes Professional Bachelor’s (BAA) and Academic Bachelor’s (BA) programmes. At SASS, all undergraduate programmes are fully accredited and adapted to the real-life needs of students — both young adults and those already employed.

An undergraduate programme usually lasts 3 years (180 ECTS). Upon completion, you receive a Professional or Academic Bachelor’s degree (1st cycle). With your diploma, you can enter the labour market or continue your studies at the 2nd cycle (Master’s level). At SASS, all undergraduate programmes are designed to prepare you both practically and academically for either pathway.

The Slovenian higher education system offers accessible, high-quality and internationally comparable undergraduate study. The programmes we provide at SASS offer flexibility, practical knowledge, strong links with the labour market and the option of a hybrid Study+ mode with online participation — ideal for students who cannot commit to the strict schedule of full-time study.

Part-time study is organised in a way that allows you to study alongside work, sports or other commitments. Lectures mostly take place in the afternoons or at weekends. With the Study+ package, you can additionally join classes remotely, watch recorded lectures and take exams from home. The study adapts to you — not the other way around.

Note: * Study at the Ljubljana or Nova Gorica location is conducted only if a sufficient number of candidates enrol.

A Professional Bachelor’s programme (BAA) is more practically oriented and focused on a quicker transition into the labour market. An Academic Bachelor’s programme (BA) places more emphasis on theory and scientific methodology, making it easier to continue to a Master’s or research-oriented study. At SASS, you can choose between both types of programmes — depending on your goals, interests and study focus.

Undergraduate study at SASS is adapted to real life. The focus is not only on theory but also on understanding people, social processes and developing soft skills. Small groups, a personal approach, mentored practice and flexible study options (Study+) provide a more in-depth and high-quality learning experience — even for those who are already employed or have a family.
