More than 150 students and graduates of DOBA Faculty are also top-level athletes.

At DOBA University of Applied Sciences, we have been proving for many years that education and top-level sport can go hand in hand. Our students and graduates come from a wide range of sports disciplines, and many of them achieve outstanding results both at home and internationally.

Among them are footballers, handball players, basketball players, hockey players, volleyball players, judokas, skiers, ski jumpers, cyclists, athletes, swimmers, snowboarders, tennis players, as well as professional coaches and members of national teams. Many compete for renowned clubs across Europe – from Juventus U19, Betis, Genoa C.F.C., FC Arouca to top handball and basketball teams such as RK Podravka Vegeta, Handball Tirol, DVSC Schaeffler, Frischauf, Cedevita Junior and many others. We also work with swimming instructors, taekwondo coaches, badminton coaches, professional dancers, and even athletes who share their expertise across global destinations — from Lisbon to Bahrain.

Together, they prove that with a tailored, flexible online study programme, anyone can fulfil their career and sports aspirations. Top athletes need an educational model that understands their pace, training and competitions — and this is exactly what DOBA University of Applied Sciences has been offering for more than a decade.

We are proud of every individual who entrusts us with their development.
Their discipline, dedication and ambition inspire all other students and significantly shape our learning community.

Jan Razdevšek, graduate of the Marketing, Social Media and Public Relations programme:
'Studying at DOBA Faculty was an excellent experience for me. In addition to professional knowledge, it offered me great personal growth, new friendships, hands-on internship experience and motivation for the future. Above all, it gave me the freedom and flexibility the programme offers – the fact that I didn’t have to commute to classrooms every day and could complete my studies remotely gave me the ability to successfully balance my academic and sports career. Over the past three years, I played basketball in Estonia, Austria and Romania, and without this form of study, it would not have been possible. I appreciate the faculty’s holistic approach, the support of lecturers and the availability and kindness of advisors. I am happy to recommend studying at DOBA to anyone who asks and seeks high-quality knowledge and a modern study format. Even now during my internship, I have found that the knowledge I gained is truly very useful.'
