Programme description

The first-level university study program Art History trains students for work in public and private institutions involved in the monitoring, dissemination, research and protection of art and other monuments, especially visual monuments, as well as for work in tourism and protocol.

You can study Art History at the first level independently (single-subject programme) or in conjunction with one of the many study programmes (dual-subject programme) offered by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana. The single-subject programme is the only art history programme in Slovenia where students can concentrate on art history. The two-subject programme enables a meaningful combination with related areas of the humanities and social sciences.

Description of quality assurance obligations of the programme / institution

The system of quality at the University of Ljubljana (UL) is founded on valid standards, regulations and recommendations from the authorities responsible for ensuring the quality of higher education on the national and international levels. In accordance with the established standards, systems of quality are based on a closed feedback loop, with clear processes of identifying objectives and priorities, planning measures and operation, implementing planned activities and monitoring and evaluating activities and measures implemented, including an assessment of the effects, which serves as input information for a new cycle of planning.

With the aim of monitoring and improving the quality of study programmes, regular self-evaluation is carried out for each active study programme. Self-evaluation of study programmes serves to ensure the quality of programme provision, and to monitor the current relevance and sustainability of the individual study programme.
