University of Primorska Slovenia

degree programme: Bioinformatics

academic (UP FAMNIT)

overview:

At the beginning of the third millennium, modern technologies as applied to the natural sciences and quality of life present especially great challenges. The rapid growth of various biological data which is stored in databases and is suitable for computer management and analysis has created the need for experts who have mastered techniques in the areas of mathematics and computer and information sciences. In addition, boundaries between the various profiles of natural scientists (biologists, chemists and physicists) are becoming increasingly blurred, and therefore the various tools used in bioinformatics have become invaluable. A classically trained biologist is normally unfamiliar with statistics and is not skilled in computer science; however these skills will be increasingly demanded in this work environment. A classically trained mathematician or computer scientist, on the other hand, does not have the knowledge of biology and chemistry required for a career in bioinformatics.

admission criteria:

Admission to the first year of study shall be granted to applicants having:

• passed the matura examination; or the vocational matura examination in a 4-year secondary-school programme and a final examination in a general matura subject; the selected subject cannot be the same as one of the subjects passed in the framework of the vocational matura;

• successfully completed any four-year secondary-school programme before 1 June 1995.

In the case of enrolment limitations, applicants shall be selected on other additional criteria, please consult programme web page.

Admission may also be gained by an applicant having completed a comparable study abroad. Prior to enrolment the applicant must apply for the recognition of completed education.

University of Primorska Slovenia

degree programme: Computer Science

academic (UP FAMNIT)

overview:

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. In the following decade, major challenges will be posed in the integration of various scientific disciplines, and Mathematics (as a universal language of science) and Computer Science (as a field gaining ground in ever more optimal exploitation of the richness of this language) are poised to play a leading role in this area. The study programme, moreover, places special emphasis on cultivating this connection by building on theory with practice, motivating students to apply practical solutions in problem solving. This aspect of the programme is particularly brought to the forefront in the last pillar of the courses – skills.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.

admission criteria:

Admission to the first year of study shall be granted to applicants having:

• passed the matura examination; or passed the vocational matura examination in a 4-year secondary-school programme and a final examination in one of the general matura subjects: Mathematics, Computer Science or Information Technology; insofar as the aforementioned subject has already been taken within the framework of the vocational matura examination, applicants must pass any other general matura subject; the selected subject cannot be the same as one of the subjects passed in the framework of the vocational matura;

• successfully completed any four-year secondary-school programme before 1 June 1995.

University of Primorska Slovenia

degree programme: Mathematics

academic (UP FAMNIT)

overview:

The first half of the study year and the second study year are mainly devoted to the learning and consolidation of the fundamentals of analysis, algebra, discrete mathematics and numerical computing.

Along the way, students will learn a set of computer skills and the basics of probability theory. Within the labour market for the financial sector, the latter represents an important advantage for mathematics students versus students who come from management-/economy-oriented studies. Moreover, the computer-oriented courses, along with computer-oriented ways of thinking that an individual develops while studying mathematics, provide a good foundation for employment in programming and related companies. The larger part of the study programme represents elective courses where students learn about various specific areas of pure and applied mathematics. An optional part of the curriculum also has an interdisciplinary outline, which means that students can choose courses where the natural sciences (especially biology and biochemistry) combine with computer science and mathematics. Since virtually every science (at the research level) significantly relies on mathematics, mathematics undergraduate studies are also suitable for those who will later shift to other sciences. Proof of this are the numerous personnel in the college who chose this path in pursuing their careers.

Scientific excellence and international integration among our professors allows students to fully pursue their study and research ambitions; inter alia, one of the four global leading research centres for algebraic graph theory operates at UP FAMNIT.

University of Primorska Slovenia

degree programme: Mathematical Sciences

(UP FAMNIT)

overview:

The study programme is primarily intended for prospective researchers, professors and other academic staff. Each student has a supervisor, who is ordinarily selected before the student’s enrolment. One of the key roles of the supervisor is to present a relevant open problem (or open problems) to the student. While the student is trying to solve the problem (or problems), the supervisor helps, informs the student of similar problems already solved and introduces appropriate techniques from relevant mathematical fields. The solution to these open problems and its publication in the relevant international journals must be a primary goal of each student.

The aim of the programme is to encourage students to do the research, and not to burden them with course exams that are not directly related to their research area (the latter is probably a special feature among Slovenian universities). Faculty members are aware of the fact that nowadays Ph.D. students must have some research results immediately after finishing their studies if they want to stay in academia – whether that be abroad or at home. During their studies, Ph.D. students usually attend various international conferences and conduct research visits, where they present their research results. Often they are involved in the organization of the conferences, summer schools, etc., organized by the Faculty or UP IAM, which is directly connected with the faculty. To a lesser extent, students are also involved in teaching students at lower levels.

admission criteria:

Admission to the 1st year shall be granted to applicants having a Master’s degree in:

• Mathematics (“Bologna” study programme); or

• studies similar to Mathematics (Computer and Information Sciences, Information Science and Mathematics, Natural Sciences) who have met the necessary additional requirements (i.e. passed differential exams in Algebra and Analysis). Admission may be also granted to applicants, who completed comparable studies abroad, and who, in accordance with the law, in the process of recognition of foreign education, have been granted the right to study in the doctoral study programme.
