SOCIOLOGY STUDY PROGRAM
Zagreb, January 2005.
1. Introduction
Department of Sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb was founded in
1963 and it continues to function for the last 42 years. At first, it was established as a twosubject study group, but in the middle of 1970s it expanded into a concentrated and oriented
Major Study Program and in that way enabled the development of special sociology subjects
which stimulated the development of professional sociology as well as faster and more
contemporary acquisition of new scientific insights.
The Department of Sociology is a unique department in its own mission – even there are other
institutions and units in Croatia nowadays who are more or less similar to the study program
of the Department. Professional sociology is taught at this Department for many decades,
based on the contemporary research of the most important social issues such as are general
aspects of society, problems of social structure, social change, social relations, etc. The
content of the Sociology Study Program encompass a wide range of actual and highly
important aspects that are studied within specialized sociology subjects.
a) The reasons to begin with the study of sociology
University study of sociology could be found today on almost every university in the world. It
is really very rare to find study of sociology only as a general subject taught only on the
scientific study groups.
In this sense, it might also be said that very rarely different university study groups are left
only with general sociology as an general subject – it is just opposite, and sociology today is
taught as a specialized professional discipline adapted to different major profiles of any type
of specific study groups. In this sense, a specialized sociology subjects exist today almost at
every university in the world such as, for example, Sociology of Education, Sociology of
Culture, Sociology of Science and Knowledge, Political Sociology, Sociology and Economy,
Urban Sociology, etc.).
Furthermore, it is even very difficult to imagine an educational university institution where
students are not provided with possibilities to learn and understand her/his own society and
many contemporary phenomenon explained in the theoretical perspective and within specific
areas and fields they are preparing for as they future professions.
In Croatia today, sociology as a teaching specialized sociology subject apart from the
Department of Sociology, Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb is taught, for example, at The
Faculty of Lay, Faculty of Political Sciences, Faculty of Economy, Medical Faculty, Faculty
of Electrotechnics, Faculty of Engineering and Shipbuilding, Faculty of Civil Engineering,
Faculty for Agronomy.
It could be said also that – during the last 15 years – many reasons emerged in the social life
that stimulated again the need to introduce sociological professional thinking into social
development. Croatia as one of the post communist societies is just going through painful and
complex transitional process burdened with many problems and social changes that need to be
professionally evaluated, scientifically researched, objectively assessed and discussed and on
that basis understood with an evaluation of potential ways of further social development. As
many other transitional societies, Croatia is also a multicultural and multiethnic society, with
different religious affiliations and interesting social aspects that need to be scientifically
sociologically seriously studied - especially the interactions that emerge from this cultural
diversity. In this way the respective layers of society will be aware on the potential problems
and conflicts that are usually emerging in this kind of societies. To understand and investigate
different aspects of contemporary social development in the modern world is almost
impossible without sociology as a professional discipline and without a sociologist as a
specialist who can apply sociological knowledge in his daily professional actions and
activities.
New social changes in modern societies are burdened also with many complicated
phenomenon such as unemployment, drug abuse, aggressivity in general, uncontrolled growth
of cities and settlements, growing strata of older population, environmental degradation and
pollution, etc. We believe that all these problems and aspects of contemporary life need to be
investigated through systematic researches to be able to develop workable solutions. We
believe also that sociology study offers the education of qualified and specialized
professionals to tackle contemporary social problems.
Newly constructed social reality also asks for some changes in the education in general in the
society and especially in the process of education of future social professionals. It simply
means that different segments of sociological education – i.e., research, consultancy and
educational components – must be transformed to fit better the needs of today's and
tomorrow's society.
This is a primary goal and substance of the educational program of sociological study we
offer.
It should be also emphasized that sociologists could apply their knowledge in a wide spectrum
of social division of labor – in the organizations and enterprises (organizational and market
researches), media studies (radio, TV, newspapers) as well as in other institutions where
sociological knowledge is necessary. Professional activity of a sociologist contributes to
better understanding and formation of social potentials of development. Sociologists are also
employed in secondary schools and at the universities where they teach different subjects.
During the last decade, for example, graduated sociologists found their place of work also in
the private sector of economy – they work as specialists in market research, in the research on
mass media, in different polls research as well as for different state institutions and offices.
Non-governmental sector is also growingly asking the professional services of sociologists
mostly in the roles of consultants on major aspects or as experts for the investigation of
complex social phenomenon. It should be also emphasized that sociologists are more and
more employed in the administrative services and in different planning institutions where they
work as professionals for social planning and development.
Newly organized study of Sociology Program that is offered for evaluation could be
compared also with the programs of some respected educational sociological university
institutions such as are for example:

Yale Sociology Department, USA http://www.yale.edu/socdept/undergrad.html

Heinrich Heine Universität Düsseldorf, BRD

Universität Bremen, Institut für Soziologie, BRD

London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

Department of Sociology at the University of Bristol, UK

Department of Sociology, College of Letters and Science, University of WisconsinMadison, USA

Department of Sociology, Division of Social Sciences, College of Letters & Science,
University of California, Berkeley, USA http://sociology.berkeley.edu/
b) Experiences of the present organization in the realization of the equivalent or similar
programs
The Department of Sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy University of Zagreb, during 42.
years of its existence went through several phases of its own development. That development
itself has enriched the basic sense, as well as overall social and scientific justification of the
study of sociology and sociology as a profession through new teaching programs and through
the development of specialized sociologies as teaching and professional subjects. The need to
develop of the discipline oriented especially towards the development of sociological
methodology as a real base for the development of the profession itself was also stimulated.
That was one of the basic features of the development of scientific basis of sociology as a
profession at the Department.
To demonstrate the recent developments at the Department, it should be emphasized that – in
recent years – the Department of Sociology included in its curriculum many newly designed
special sociologies as teaching subjects such as, for example, Social Ecology, Sociology of
Religion, Sociology of Ethnic Relations, Sociology of Science and Knowledge, Sociology of
Sex, Gender Sociology, Risk Sociology, Sociology of War and Peace, etc.
This program proposal contains many newly designed teaching subjects as electives that open
a possibility to enlarge and modify the overall program of study of sociology.
c) Potential partners outside of the systems of higher education
A professional profile of graduated sociologist gives to a person an important role in every
research project where the society as a whole or its segments, or fundamental or specialized
aspects of the society are at stake. It should be also stressed that a professional sociologist is a
unavoidable member of the team researching public opinions, in different expert teams to
investigate social development within state offices and institutions as well as within different
agencies involved in researching of social reality.
Finally, it should be also mentioned that professional sociologists are more and more involved
as researchers and evaluators in the contemporary problems connected with migrations,
displaced persons and other aspects of human migrations in the world.
The research, scientific and educational cooperation is also possible with many other partners
who stay outside of regular educational systems such as are scientific research institutes
(Institute for Social Research in Zagreb, Institute for International Relations, Institute for
Migrations and Ethnic Studies, etc.) as well and domestic and international organizations,
professional associations, similar universities and departments in the country and abroad.
d) Openness of the study Program towards student’s free selection
If the importance of sociology as a profession and as a scientific discipline engaged in the
explanation of contemporary society is understandable, then there is no special need to
explain that pre-diploma study of sociology as well as a complete study of sociology represent
a fertile ground for the continuation of education in different fields, especially in the area of
humanistic and social sciences. We believe that no subject in the contemporary society should
be studied without the help of sociology. This is the reason why in the program of study of
sociology many subject are of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature and in this
way rather approachable to students of almost any kind and specializations. The fact that
sociology has been included in many interdisciplinary educational programs as well as in
practical research and scientific program – not only within the area of humanistic and social
sciences, but also within technical, medical, architectural etc. areas - should also not be
forgotten.
In this sense, it is expected that teaching subjects which we offer in our program of study
could be taken not only by the students from other basic specialized groups of study but also
that sociology students, with their acquired knowledge in the pre-diploma study of sociology
will be able to continue their education in other study groups and study orientations.
We should also mention that many teaching subject at The Department of Sociology are open
to the students of different profiles and professions. Respecting the principle of free student
movement, we suggest a teaching program which will enable our students to select and
combine – on a personal basis – different, interrelated interdisciplinary educational programs
of different professions as well as we expect the same possibilities for the students from other
educational institutions to select our electives.

2.5 Pre-diploma study Program
The major goal of the pre-diploma study program of sociology is to teach a student with the
basic notions of sociology, with basic methodological principles of science and specific
principles of social sciences and sociology with the basics in sociological theories. Students
are taught also in basic principles of scientific analysis as well as in appropriate methods and
techniques of scientific research and with major prerequisites concerning theoretical analysis.
Students are also taught in the classic and contemporary sociological theories. Two important
teaching subjects are provided for the study of Croatian society and a number of the electives
will give an opportunity for a student to create and select personal orientation that could also
end in the continuation towards the diploma program study in sociology as well. A graduation
in the field of sociology major or sociology as a two group study Program in the regime of
pre-diploma study Program will end with a title of "baccalaureate in social sciences –
orientation sociology" that enables the continuation of the study of sociology or some other
study group at the university. The graduation of a pre-diploma study Program enables a
student to perform different kinds of tasks in which a good understanding of social processes
as well as a good knowledge on the principles of scientific approach to the analysis of social
dynamics is needed. At the same time, a strictly expert approach and level of understanding is
not expected. Graduated pre-diploma student is expected to work in the media, in nongovernmental organizations, in publishing companies, in the field of culture, etc.
2.6. Diploma study Program
A goal of the diploma study Program of sociology is to enlarge, add and close the acquired
knowledge during the pre-diploma study Program of sociology as well as from the selection
from five different groups of subjects that will enable a student to create a personalized profile
of the professional sociologist. In this way, a student can concentrate and select the subjects
from one or another study group as well as to combine subjects from different study groups
and in that way acquire a wide range general education in sociology as a profession. It is
however possible that a student can orient towards – for example – a group of methodological
subjects which could enable her/him to work on specific issues in sociology and related
sciences. A system of two study group at the Faculty of Philosophy is suited primarily for the
educational profiles of students, but it could also be selected in the case if a student chooses a
concentrated group of educational and methodical subjects which is provided especially for
the students of one study group of sociology (sociology major).
Students who graduate diploma program in sociology are educated mostly for the
following tasks:
 Research and scientific investigations on different issues with an analysis of society
as well as specific researches targeted towards social assessment or sociological
expertise on different issues
 For the work in scientific institutes to research fundamental issues as well as
applicative investigations in the field of sociology targeted towards different areas
and problem subjects (for example, migrations, ethnicity, rural and urban topics, etc.)
 Professional and scientific expertise for governmental and non-governmental sector
 Expert engagement in the institutions specialized for public media and other types of
applied investigations
 Teaching sociology in secondary schools (potential teaching in other disciplines, in
the case of graduation in two study groups programs)
 Work in the education process of new professionals in higher education
 Professional and consultation activities as well as administrative work in the
governmental services
 Engagement in media

Lecturer(s): Vjeran Katunarić, Ph.D., full professor of sociology
Course description: To explain the origin and the development of contemporary
society in its different dimensions – social stratification, power, development of
inequalities, international conflicts, macro collective identities (nations,
civilizations), authoritarian and democratic governments, cultural hegemony, etc.
Use of historical and causal analysis of major social and historical processes, of
periods and happenings in how it was represented in major historical and
sociological works. The major emphasis will be placed on explication of the content
of macro sociological notions in different social and historical contexts in the long
time-spans – from primitive communities to the destruction of socialist societies
and the emergence of globalization; the emphasis will also be given to the
elaboration of major historical and sociological works such as - Elias, Wallerstein,
Eisenstadt, Tilly, Mann, and the others) who apply major theoretical sociological
ideas (functionalism, Marxism, theory of rational choice, realism,
constructionism/phenomenology and the others). Special attention will be given to
understanding and explication of the phenomenon of massive attraction of myths
and to the collective memories based on fabricated traditions and to the role of
myth in the persistence of collective identity within a certain system of power (based
on market or on international political dominance), as well as to the questions (with
an open teleological flavor) whether contemporary Europe represents – in regards to
its former shapes – a new social product (a Kantian »eternal peace«) or contingency
shaped accumulation of the states and societies that is regulated by market
elements and situations as well as partial geostrategical interests (as it was the case
in the past) – or something of a third kind. Also, the past and contemporary shapes
of the Croatian society will be similarly elaborated (dependency on the past or a
jump into a new European trajectory?
Course objectives: 1.To understand social processes in the past and in the causal
interdependence with contemporary processes; 2. To know theoretical and
methodological approaches in sociology in regards to different historical periods and
their evolutionary processes; 3. To interpreter major processes, happenings and/or
persons from the general and national past using major theoretical approaches in
historical sociology.

Course description: Using the example of one fundamental work in social theory
(for example, M. Weber's Economy and society, Parsons' Societies, Berger and
Luckmann's Social construction of reality, Coleman's Basic theory of society,
Habermas' Theory of communicative action, Luhman's Social systems and/or
Castells' The rise of network society) reconstruct the way how theoretical network
was built and the way of its use. The attention will be given also top context where
the work has been written; the most important aspects of other works the author is
calling; the sorts of other social phenomenon that are taken into account (or areas
of special sociologies); the level of generalizations (in regard to the spatial and time
framework); originality/innovative power in regard to other works (of the same or
other authors); testability of major accounts; the way how the theory was taken in
sociology and related fields (the analysis of selected research works or theoretical
disputes); common sense knowledge, ideological and wider discussions and
circulations of key notions and items in the work; “autobiographical” reception (the
students will be asked to make a reflection on their own views and social
experiences taking into account theoretical framework); the application of
theoretical positions in developing hypothesis of an imaginary research blueprint
selected by a student.
Course objectives: 1. To understand a theory as a basis for sociological
explanation of social facts, as well as a starting point for a research process in
sociology and as a source of the public use of sociological knowledge in public; 2. To
know the most part of the content of a selected work; 3. To interpret theories in
regard to their originality, development potential and application in research
practice and in other ways of the use of knowledge.

changes and alternative ways of common life and parenthood that are inseparable
from the overall social changes, especially between the generations and genders.
Students will also be presented with the «dark sides» of the marriage and family's
dynamics (violence in the family, poverty, etc.), and with prevention strategies.
Course objectives: Course objectives will be concentrated towards the increase and
understanding of different phenomenon such as marriage, household, kinship, and
stimulate the questioning of someone's own experiences. The students will be
stimulated to develop sociological imagination for better understanding and
interconnectedness of personal and societal levels.

Subject: Sociology of knowledge and science
Lecturer(s): Davorka Matić, Ph. D., assistant professor
Course description: In this course, we will deal with social organization of
knowledge – topics of «information», «ideology», «fact» and «science». The starting
point is a specific concept of knowledge – it represents that group of ideas and
believes that is accepted from certain social groups or from the society in its
wholeness as a real, right and truthfulness. In this sense, sociology of knowledge
and science will deal with questioning of wide variety of questions like – the format
and limits of socio-cultural conditioning of our knowledge on the world.
Major topics are: classic sociology of knowledge, and +a theory of ideology;
social determination of knowledge and social constructivism; a function of
knowledge; the relation of knowledge and social power; science and society; science
as ideology; feminist critique of science; ethics in science; social responsibility of
science.
Course objectives: To teach students on different approaches to the notion of
knowledge and science and to stimulate them for individual reflexivity on the
relationships that exist between different systems of knowledge and social context
in which a certain knowledge exists, the process of the institutionalization of
knowledge and its transformation to the next generation. In another words, social
conditioning of all types of knowledge will be evaluated – from the ideologies to
knowledge with an objective to show in which sense the science is a social product
and what are the usual ways the science participate in the construction,
legitimatization, keeping but also in the change of social order and the existing
power relations in the society.
