The purpose of B.A. thesis is to present the results of a qualitative study conducted on a sample of five students of the University of Zadar who are politically (party) active. The study aims to gain insight into the political and party activity of students of the University of Zadar and to study the motives that prompted them to do so, as well as to shed light on the political activities they perform. Previous studies on the political activities of students in Croatia have approached them as a homogeneous whole, paying attention mostly to the research of student movements. The focus was rarely on the activity of students in institutional politics, and especially missing not on their activity in political parties. Also, many previous studies that dealt with young people, students and politics were conducted by means of quantitative research methods, primarily through surveys. In contrast, this research was conducted by qualitative methodology, and more precisely by means of the method of semi-structured interview, which allows research into the experiences of a particular population. Interviewed interlocutors were politically active members of the following political parties: Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Croatian Sustainable Development (OraH) and Social Democratic Party (SDP). The research results enable an insight into the family background of the interlocutors, on why and when they joined the political party, what they are most interested about in politics, i.e. what they are engaged on, and how they see the internal processes in the party in which they are active. Future research should expand the insights gained by this research by means of expanding the sample to include interlocutors from other political parties.
