The Study of Sociology at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana began in 1960, and was thus the first and the oldest regular university study in sociology on Slovenian territory. Today, the Department of Sociology offers Bachelor of Arts programmes in Sociology (two-disciplinary programme) and the Sociology of Culture (single-disciplinary programme). The main areas of knowledge for students graduating with a BA in the Sociology of Culture are socio-cultural theory and research with an emphasis on expertise in specific cultural fields. In addition to these two programmes, the Department of Sociology also offers two multidisciplinary Master of Arts programmes in the Sociology of Culture and a PhD programme track within the Interdisciplinary doctoral programme in Humanities and Social Sciences.
In the academic year 2010/11 the department celebrated its 50th anniversary, organising round tables, lectures and re-evaluating the role of sociology in the Slovenian academic sphere. On this occasion the department organised a guest lecture by Professor Zygmunt Bauman.

Department of Asian Studies, University of Ljubljana
The Department of Asian Studies at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana was established in 1995 when Andrej Bekeš, Jana S. Rošker, and Mitja Saje were among the first research Japanologists and Sinologists who were ready to make further steps in the research fields at the university. Initially, the department was named a Department of Asian and African Studies, however, its aim to cover African studies as well could not be attained.
The first study programme has been adapted to the new Bologna reforms, currently the study programmes offer a BA and MA in Japanology and Sinology. Both are three-year undergraduate study programmes that can be further elaborated in postgraduate courses. The department also offers a PhD programm in Asian studies. It has its own library.
