Summary/Abstract: Analyzing global development challenges and problems contained in sustainable development goals is gaining importance in higher education. The daily business practices of the university are often analyzed, as well as the presence of sustainable development goals in study programs. This article is a continuation of research on the presence of sustainable development goals in the University of Sarajevo - Faculty of Political Sciences study programs. The initial research (Spahić and Čustović, 2023) included all study programs of the first cycle according to the curriculum and program innovated in 2019. The results of this research indicate that the Department of Social Work has thirteen core courses in which sustainable development goals are present, and out of seven common courses, only two courses do not have sustainable development goals. The dominantly present goals are SDG 10 and SDG 17, while SDG 1, SDG 3, and SDG4 have significant representation. The aforementioned research results and the methodology created for this purpose were used for the analysis of the study program of the second cycle. This research showed that in the second cycle of studies of the Department of Social Work, ten out of fifteen courses have sustainable development goals present. In the courses with sustainable development goals, the most present goals are SDG 3, SDG 1, SDG 16, SDG 4, SDG 5, SDG 8, SDG 10, and SDG 11. This continuation of the research aims to create a holistic overview of the presence of sustainable development goals in the first and second-cycle study programs of the Department of Social Work and to emphasize the importance of integrating these goals into study programs and education of social workers.
