About the Faculty
The Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT) is a member of the University of Primorska. It was established in 2006.
The Faculty offers study programmes at all three levels of higher education and conducts research across a broad range of disciplines, including natural sciences, computer science and informatics, and psychology. We promote interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of knowledge from different scientific fields. Through our participation in international projects and the publication of research in prestigious academic journals, we strive to advance knowledge and contribute to a deeper understanding of the key scientific questions of our time. Our research focuses on both fundamental and applied research, supporting the development of society.
At the undergraduate and master’s levels, study programs are offered as full-time studies, while at the doctoral level, they are offered only as part-time studies. Study programmes are conducted in Koper and in Izola.

Academic staff and researchers carry out teaching and research activities within five departments. These departments were established in the Faculty’s first year of operation, and the links between them have grown considerably stronger over the years. This collaboration has fostered the Faculty’s strong interdisciplinary character, which is reflected both in the design of its study programmes and in the development and implementation of research projects.
Since its establishment, UP FAMNIT has maintained close ties with the Andrej Marušič Institute of the University of Primorska (UP IAM). Over the years, the Faculty and the Institute have developed intensive research collaboration, involving researchers in joint projects, as well as extensive international cooperation through the co-organisation of conferences, summer schools and other scientific events. The Faculty and the Institute are also organisationally connected through shared administrative support services and joint committees responsible for research, international and inter-university cooperation, quality assurance, and academic appointments and promotions.
Core Activities
The basic activities of the Faculty include education and research, while the Faculty is also the organiser and co-organiser of successful international conferences and other scientific meetings.
The Faculty is actively involved in the international field of higher education and research, and has established a wide network of research links with prominent foreign universities. We like to emphasise that the UP FAMNIT research group is one of the two leading research groups in the field of algebraic graph theory in the world. (The other three groups are located in China, Australia and South Korea.) These efforts by the Faculty have helped place the University of Primorska as an internationally recognised research institution
The faculty also organizes workshops and lectures for the general public, and during the summer months it hosts summer schools and camps, primarily intended for secondary school students and final-year primary school students.
Faculty Leadership
The faculty is led by the Dean, Prof. Dr. Ademir Hujdurović, who began his second term on November 23, 2023. In addition to the Dean, the faculty leadership consists of the Vice-Deans, Heads of Departments, and the Faculty General Secretary.
