Linguistics and speech therapy are two directly related areas whereby the first one, with appropriate development, should follow the latter as a support in a theoretical and practical sense. In a study carried out amongst Slovene speech therapy students, the researcher was interested in their views regarding the importance of linguistic content in their studies. The sample included all active students who were enrolled in the first-level and second-level study program of speech therapy at the Faculty of Education of the University of Ljubljana in the academic year 2018/19. In total, we received 43 appropriately completed questionnaires. All participants were female. A descriptive and causal-non-experimental method of pedagogical research was used. The study also offers a comparison of answers according to the study year (1st, 3rd and 5th) and results verifying the connection and dependence between different variables.
