Welcome to the University of Primorska
Dobrodošli na Univerzi na Primorskem
The University of Primorska is a public educational institution founded in 2003. It has a short
history, but it does not lack the determination to grow and strive for excellence. The univer-
sity is located in Slovenia’s coastal region, between the borders of Italy and Croatia in an of-
ficially bilingual region (Slovene, Italian) and Slovenia’s most ethnically and culturally diverse
region. The core values of the University of Primorska - freedom, responsibility, diversity,
extroversion and excellence - arise from the University’s integration into the national area
situated at the crossroads of historical, cultural, linguistic and global paths and its complete
extroversion towards the world.
Until today, the University of Primorska has signed several bilateral agreements with lead-
ing universities from Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia, with the goal to
develop international mobility of students, researchers, higher education teachers and staff
members as well as creating joint study programmes and research projects. The University
actively participates in international networks and is a member of several international asso-
ciations. Some of the most important ones are:
• EUA - European Universities Association
• AARC - Rectors’ Conference of the Universities of the Alps Adriatic Region
• DRC - Danube Rectors’Conference
• UNIADRION - Virtual University of the Adriatic-Ionian Basin
The University of Primorska is today being attended by more than 5000 students to whom
we offer a rich variety of academic and scientific disciplines. These include Humanities and
Arts (History, Cultural Heritage, Slovene Language, Italian Language, Translation, Media
Studies), Educational Sciences and Teacher Education, Social Sciences (Anthropology, Geo
graphy, Psychology, Management, Law), Mathematics and Financial Mathematics, Computer
Science and Informatics, Natural Sciences (Biodiversity, Nature Conservation, Bioinformat-
ics, Biopsychology), Agriculture, Built Environment, Nursing, Dietetics, Applied Kinesiology
and Tourism.
