Computer Science University of Primorska

Overview

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 Computer Science program from University of Primorska, 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.

Program Learning Outcomes

• Students will be trained to manage complex problems and use modern tools and techniques in solving and demonstrating problems and concepts.

• Students will develop a sense for identifying and employing appropriate computer skills, knowledge and techniques in a given situation.

• Students will acquire skills in managing programme languages, techniques, development tools and methodologies intended for system development.

• Students will acquire the competence to develop complex ICT systems.

• Students will develop a positive approach towards further acquisition of ICT knowledge in diverse problem-solving areas.

Careers

• Computer Science, as one of the fastest growing branches of the economy, provides graduates with countless employment opportunities. For a number of years, computer companies and information departments within all major regional-based companies have been faced with a lack of quality computer and information personnel.

• The Computer Science programme will equip students with knowledge and skills indispensable for work and promotion, and specifically for employment opportunities in educational and research fields, e.g. system administration (computer and other companies and institutions), programming (computer companies), information system design and development, and education.
