University of Primorska

During the studies, students must complete courses, pass the internship, and prepare a final project/master thesis. In addition to the students’ presence (Lecturers, Seminars, Practical Work: in-class, and Practical Work: laboratory) they must complete also an independent work. Students may select elective courses from study programmes Slovenia and internationally. They may fall within the fields of Natural Sciences (Biology and Chemistry), Conservation Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science.

The research activity is primarily focused in the areas of conservation biology, and includes research on genetic diversity and conservation ecology of many endangered organisms and on the health of terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Therefore, the approach in solving conservation problems is multidisciplinary and the most modern molecular methods, remote sensing systems, and population and spatial analysis are used. Researchers work in a wider Mediterranean area and are among the leading experts in the international scientific environment.

Doctoral

Programmes are classical Computer Science study programmes. Fundamental courses cover the areas of theoretical computer science and engineering. The salient areas of fundamental courses are theory of algorithms, computational complexity, theory of programming languages, system dynamics, intelligent systems, and information systems. Outstanding areas of elective courses are cryptography, graph algorithms, pattern recognition, computer vision, distributed computing, processor architectures, artificial intelligence, statistical modeling, and, data and knowledge engineering

http://www.famnit.upr.si/en/education/master/computer-science/#heading2

Areas of research of the Department of Information Sciences and Technologies, are theory of algorithms, theoretical computer science, processor architectures & parallel computing, graph algorithms, data and knowledge engineering, data mining and intelligent systems, language technologies and machine translation, human-computer interaction and augmented reality, computational & applied topology, medical image analysis, information systems, statistical modeling and biometric technologies.

Human-computer interaction

The study programme closely combines the fields of Computer Science and Mathematics. It relies on a strong theoretical basis that serves as a prerequisite for the establishment of an effective computer science programme. The close interaction between Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science contributes greatly to the quality of the study programme by enhancing an understanding of both the basics of Computer Science and of research topics arising from newly emerging areas of Computer Science.

The study programme’s focus on software covers knowledge that is deemed most appropriate for our region, i.e. the presence of computer companies involved in developing software, but the absence of major computer or manufacturing companies. The study programme places special emphasis on creative and organisational knowledge that will provide students with a basis for work in development enterprises.

Cultural specifics of the region led the faculty to base its work on the principle of equal possibilities & solidarity & the promotion of greater racial, national, cultural, religious, ideological, generational, & gender tolerance. The courses in history give a historical dimension to the listed phenomena. The courses in history follow the main orientation of the faculty, giving great emphasis on the methodology of historiography. Results of the research & market based projects are included in courses. Students collaborate in projects stimulating enterprises to collaborate with the university.

Research focuses on the history of western Slovenia as geographically complex region, as well as the ethnic and cultural junction between central Europe and the Mediterranean region on the one side and the European east and west on the other side. The research work is dedicated to studying history in the region, the results are represented in internationally established and methodologically diverse history research that includes the views of legal, political, national, economic and oral history, the history of everyday life, biographic history and demographic history etc.

cultural history, european history, methodology and theory of history

The study combines the examination of large regions (with special emphasis on Mediterranean over extended periods of time with focused work on micro cases. It develops an awareness of differing political, cultural, social and economic structures in past societies and their interrelationship. It combines debate over questions of interpretation with rigorous attention to the sources. Its constant enrichment by cross-fertilisation from other disciplines leads to the asking of new questions about history. Guest university teachers are included into study in framework of bilateral exchange.

The research group at the Department is one of the two world centres in the field of algebraic graph theory which lies on the border between algebra and graph theory and may be described as the investigation of symmetry and regularity properties of graphs, using algebraic methods from group theory, linear algebra and representation theory. Other areas of specialization are: mathematical biology, numerical analysis, functional analysis, linear algebra, game theory, combinatorial optimization, statistics, cryptography, financial mathematics and computer security.

The research group is one of the two world centres in the field of algebraic graph theory. Other areas of mathematics are also represented (c.f. Question 29). The Department is involved in international cooperation and hosted 44 visiting professors/researchers in 2017/18, while it also organized 6 international scientific conferences. Research connections are maintained with colleagues from esteemed universities worldwide. Due to a strong research activity, in 2018 Center of Cryptography was established. Cryptography is offered also as study field on BSc, MSc and PhD level.

Abstract Algebra

Courses are awarded with 6 ECTS and are mostly elective, covering various mathematical areas. Special emphasis is given to discrete mathematics and algebra. Elective courses are often given by guest lecturers thus acquainting students with the recent developments in the field. Through their thesis, students can be introduced into research. Courses within applied mathematics, suitable for students interested in the finance and the economy, are also offered. Graduates opt also for careers not directly related to Mathematics. In the year 2018/19 we are offering 6 study fields.

full time

The first two years are mainly devoted to learning and consolidating the fundamentals of analysis, algebra, discrete mathematics, numerical computing. During the entire study, students complete 30 courses (21 compulsory and 9 elective), all awarded with 6 ECTS-credits. Computer Science subjects are offered as elective courses, although there is already a strong interlacement with CS also in mandatory courses. Intertwined with mathematics is also the study programme Mathematics in Economics and Finance. In the year 2018/19, we offer 3 study fields within the programme.
