The postgraduate programme in the protection of natural heritage is dedicated to the study of that part of nature to which we attribute special importance and, in particular, of relationships between man and nature with the aim of conserving this part of nature. The modern conception of the protection of natural heritage/valuable natural features is a complex activity that does not only involve thorough mastery of scientific content but also demands administrative and management skills.  By signing international documents, Slovenia has taken on specific obligations regarding the implementation of national legislation in the field of nature protection.

Examination performance is graded as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progression through the programme is possible if the student completes the course units prescribed by the study programme and other requirements prescribed by the statute.

Third-cycle doctoral study programme (SQF level 10)
