This work presents research that was carried out in the period from 6th up to 20th of March 2017 on student sample with non-probabilistic method. The general objective of this research is to examine the attitudes and awareness of the student population in Zagreb on refugees and migrants in Europe, with regard to the type of their study, religious and political commitment, and socio-demographic specifics. With the method of online survey it has been examined a total of 223 examinees, in which the subjects are included in the Croatian Catholic University, The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture. The results analyzed with Chi-square test shows that there are no statistically significant differences between the types of study examinees attending and the frequency of information about events related to refugees and migrants. Also, the results show that students mostly obtain information about specified events via the Internet and television, which indicate the need of an objective and neutral reporting, with an emphasis on those media. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no statistically significant difference between the importance of religion in everyday life and commitment to greater humanitarism towards refugees, while it was found the existence of statistically significant differences between the importance of religion in everyday life and conforming with statement that represents refugees as a security threat for other citizens. Also, results showed that there is no statistically significant differences between the advocacy of a policy of the particular party and confirming with states which represent refugees and migrants as a security threat. In the end, a more detailed analysis of the open questions, in which the examinees could express their views if they disagreed with offered answers, shows two trends of attitudes within the examinees. One trend shows attitudes that indicate humanitarian discourse, while others indicate securitarian discourse. This results indicate that there is a need of more detailed analysis of this subject by using mixed-methods.
