UP FAMNIT - Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies

What UP FAMNIT - Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies does

UP FAMNIT is a constituent faculty of the University of Primorska (Univerza na Primorskem), established in 2006 and headquartered at Glagoljaška ulica 8 in Koper, Slovenia. The institution specializes in higher education and research in mathematics, natural sciences, and information technologies, operating six sites across Koper and Izola including the Livade 1.0 laboratory complex and the InnoRenew CoE research building. It is led by Dean Prof. Dr. Ademir Hujdurović with an academic staff of approximately 90.

The faculty delivers a three-cycle study portfolio: 9 undergraduate programs (Mathematics, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biopsychology, Conservation Biology, Agronomy, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mathematics in Economics and Finance, and Wood Innovation for Sustainability), 8 master's programs (Data Science, Mathematical Sciences, Mathematics with Financial Engineering, Psychology, Computer Science, Biopsychology, Sustainable Built Environments, and Nature Conservation), and 6 doctoral programs including a joint Computer Science doctorate with the University of St Andrews (UK). Supporting services include a peer tutoring system, an 11-member Student Council, Erasmus+/CEEPUS mobility programs, the University Library with COBISS bibliography management, and hosted scientific conferences (CSD11, Alpine Europe Summer School, Triple-I in Suicidology).

Revenue is generated through three streams under public-institution governance: state government funding for accredited programs and research, tuition fees set annually under the University of Primorska price list and Pravilnik o prispevkih in vrednotenju stroškov, and ancillary service fees for library, interview, and premises rental services. Admissions flow through the centralized eVŠ electronic portal, with separate tracks for domestic and international applicants. Strategic alliances include the Transform4Europe European university partnership and a research collaboration with the InnoRenew CoE for sustainable built-environment programs. No commercial equity, venture funding, or stock listing exists; the entity is wholly owned through the Slovenian state via the University of Primorska.

Regional players

• Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Sofia University: Bulgaria's premier mathematics and computer science faculty. Comparable as a regional STEM higher-education institution with doctoral programs in mathematics and computer science, operating under a similar public-university structure in a neighboring EU accession context.
• Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb: Croatia's leading STEM faculty within the University of Zagreb. Comparable as a regional Central European STEM higher-education institution offering similar program breadth across mathematics, computer science, biology, and physics, though in a different national market.

Direct peers

• University of Maribor, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics: Slovenia's other major public STEM faculty, located in Maribor. Comparable as a public university faculty offering mathematics, computer science, and natural sciences programs at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, competing for the same domestic student pool.
• University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics: Slovenia's flagship mathematics and physics faculty within the country's largest university. Directly comparable as a domestic STEM higher-education competitor with overlapping program areas (mathematics, computer science, physics) and similar public-funding model, but with significantly larger scale and brand recognition.

Broad incumbents

• University of Primorska: UP FAMNIT's parent institution and Slovenia's third public university. Comparable as the parent entity providing governance, funding flows, and shared services (library, international office, IT) on which UP FAMNIT depends, while competing for resources across faculties.

Others

• InnoRenew CoE: Slovenia-based Center of Excellence for renewable materials and sustainable built environments, and an existing UP FAMNIT partner. Comparable as a research and education collaborator hosting UP FAMNIT programs in Izola, representing an adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School: Slovenian postgraduate school linked to the Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia's leading research institution. Comparable as a domestic STEM graduate education provider, particularly in computer science and data science, competing for the same advanced-student pool in Slovenia.
