List of Erasmus Coordinators 36 37 38 41 43 43 48 49 Si 51 52 S2 S2 52 53 54 57 58 Dear students and future colleagues, It is my great pleasure to address you at the beginning of our We come Guide. It was prepared in order to present you our young and dynamic university and to invite you to spend a period of your studies at our faculties and research institutions. The University of Primorska is the youngest public university in Slovenia, which we perceive as one of the most important advantages. To be young means not only to be flexible, curious, willing to learn and experiment, but also to cherish what has proved useful and to let go of what has been proven as out-of-date. This is the mental framework in which you are most welcome to join us and to share your ideas, dreams, ambitions, aspirations and plans with us. We believe that the university is a place of free creativity of human mind where all what we already know and understand is inextricably intertwined with all that we do not know yet or find it difficult to understand. Our joint goal is therefore to disseminate the knowledge from the past in order to better understand our present and to create new knowledge in order to shape our common future. In order to achieve that, we can adopt different approaches - some are based on rational thinking and logic and form the core of the scientific method, others are intuitive and are used both in science and arts. At the University of Primorska, you will have the opportunity to use and develop them all because we are convinced that the university should foster an environment where science and art complement one another. The physical environment in which we operate is another advantage of our University. Situated just a stone's throw from the sea, we have a wide horizon in front of us, literally and metaphorically. The sea implies lots of sun and a warm climate throughout the year, which means that you can take your laptops and books with you and find a sheltered nook to study somewhere outside our modern facilities. When strolling down the winding streets of our coastal towns, where our faculties are located, you will notice a number of historical monuments testifying to our rich intercultural past. The University of Primorska operates not only in a bilingual area, but also right at the spot, where three great cultures - Slavic, Romance and Germanic - meet, and we are proud to promote the values of mutual respect and peaceful co-existence through many different courses and extracurricular activities. And you can lend us a helping hand by introducing us to your own cultural and personal values and by getting to know ours - only then will our university truly be a place that will open not only your mind, but also your heart. This booklet is available to you for all other information, and if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us. I look forward to meeting you and to sharing our knowledge and experience with you. Prof. Dragan Marušič, PhD Rector O 0/ I. Welcome to the University of Primorska Dobrodošli na Univerzi na Primorskem The University of Primorska was established on 29 January 2003 by the Slovenian Parliament and was registered at the State Portal of the Circuit Court in Koper on 17 March 2003, with 17 March becoming the University of Primorska's festivity day. The founding of our university is one of the most extensive and important projects the Slovenian state has realised in the Primorska region since the country's independence. The centre of knowledge, which is founded on the region's and state's potential, and the implementation of this knowledge in Europe and elsewhere, together with quality and carefully planned work, constitute the appropriate answer to today's challenges. The University of Primorska was founded in the area, which is considered as the contact point between Central Europe, Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean as well as a meeting point of international cultural and economic trends. The geographical location has strong implications on the strategic mission and the vision of the University of Primorska which strives to become a centre of excellence in knowledge formation and transmission. Its mission is to actively contribute to the goal of the European Union to create a knowledge-based society and to co-operate with other universities and research institutions at home and abroad. The activities of the University of Primorska focus on offering quality study programmes, active inclusion of students in research work and researchers in teaching and on internationally comparable achievements in the field of research and education. By consolidating current and creating new partnerships the University strives to develop international mobility of students, researchers, higher education teachers and staff members. In its efforts to fulfil its mission and strategy in the field of international relations, the University actively participates in international networks and associations and carries out international projects. Until today, the University of Primorska has signed several bilateral agreements with universities from Italy, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Finland, Israel, Kosovo, Mexico, Australia, Chile, Taiwan, the USA and India.

Management Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies The establishment of the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT) in 2006 has given the University of Primorska a much needed balance between social sciences, natural sciences and information technologies. The Faculty's development is based on high-quality mono-disciplinary and interdisciplinary study programmes. The study programmes are complementary in nature and seek to establish an interdisciplinary environment through the employment of a universal scientific language (mathematics) in the optimal communication field (computer science). Graduates are highly qualified professionals who have many different career options (especially in transport, banking, insurance, the gambling industry, computer companies and modern high-tech economy). Today's world needs people who can clearly present complex scientific ideas to a laic audience. The university environment demands that students and graduates are capable of independently expressing their ideas in different scientific disciplines. Training in mathematics, natural sciences and information technologies represents the key to solving questions of modelling social and economic processes. Mathematics, representing the purest form of thought, and computer science, representing the sharpest materialisation of that thought, have become ever more vital for such research. The Faculty's research work is linked with research institutions throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

Turistica is engaged in international mobility of students and teachers and has realised co-operation in research and the study with universities and colleges in and outside the EU. Diverse international and professional events are organised at the head office of the faculty in Portorož. The national meetings FuTuristica and TIM - Tourism, Education and Management, where tourism development issues are discussed; are very well known and recognised, the name "Turistica" is spread internationally through the bi- annual conference ENCUENTROS, where research results are presented and contemporary theory and practice in tourism are discussed. Faculty of Health Sciences The Faculty of Health Sciences offers two undergraduate study programmes: Nursing Care and Nutritional Counselling - Dietetics. The latter represents an important novelty in Slovenian higher education. The Nursing Care study programme was reformed in accordance with the Bologna guidelines and the European Union directives in 2008, thereby enabling student mobility and future employment in EU Member States. In co-operation with the Higher Education and Research Centre of Primorska, the College of Health Care initiated the Nursing Care study program in Nova Gorica in the 2006/07 academic year. In the 2008/09 academic year, the College offered the 2nd cycle study programme Nursing Care and in 2011 the 2nd cycle study programme Dietetics. Both master's programmes aim to prepare students to perform demanding expert and development research tasks in the field of nursing care and dietetics, thus fulfilling the national requirements for high quality experts and for new directions in nursing care and dietetics education. In 2010, the College finalised the ongoing process of its transformation into a faculty. Studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences prepares students for expert work in the areas of nutritional counselling and nursing care, including both autonomous and co-operative treatment of healthy and ill individuals Polje 42 SI-6310 Izola Tel.: +386 (5) 662 64 60 Fax: +386 (5) 662 64 80 info@fvz.upr.si www.fvz.upr.si of all age groups, families, local communities and other environments. The Faculty is located nearby the Izola General Hospital and is closely co-operating with the local environment: therefore, a substantial number of its study programmes are realised on such educational basis. The Faculty also works with several similar institutions in both local and international contexts, along with several universities and research institutes in the area of Nursing Care, Biomedicine Sciences and Dietetics.

Andrej Marušič Institute The Primorska Institute of Natural Sciences and Technology was founded in 1999 and became a full member of the University of Primorska in 2003. In November 2011 it was renamed to the Andrej Marušič Institute (UP IAM) in honour of their late colleague. The Institute's research work is organised in four research Departments and two Centres, covering four main areas Muzejski trg 2 SI-6000 Koper Phone: +386 (5) 611 75 91 Fax: +386 (5) 611 75 90 www.iam.upr.si info@iam.upr.si - science and technology, mathematics, information technologies, and health study with the main focus on mental health. In recent years the development focused on strong interdisciplinary studies in collaboration with all units. The Department of Information Sciences and Technologies cooperates with the Departmen nology within projects concerning environmental issues and with the Department of Health Study on the field of e-health. The Department of Mathematics primarily pursues research in algebra, combinatorics and graph theory with probability theory. The Department of Information Science and Technologies conducts research in data structures, data mining, large distributed grid architectures and others. Protecting the environment and associated technology is the core activity of the Department of Technology. The Department of Health Study conducts researches in the fields of mental health and so-called e-health. The Slovenian Centre for Suicide Research was established within the UP IAM in March 2011. The initiator of this idea was Prof. Diego De Leo, PhD., who wanted to continue the work of his late colleague Assoc. Prof. Andrej Marušič, PhD., and proposed the establishment of an independent unit within the Institute. With the establishment of the Centre, two main topics are addressed: understanding and the prevention of suicide, both essential subjects of clinical research work. The other Centre within the Institute is the Centre for Industrial Applications. Its main tasks are to promote development and research collaboration with the industry, promoting knowledge transfer and organisation of intellectual property. The Faculty for Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT) is also integrated into the Institute through its research and development activities. This close-knit connection assures the immediate incorporation of students into research and development work. The Institute and the Faculty attract numerous Slovenian and international students, researchers and visiting professors from abroad. By integrating them in research and pedagogical processes at the same time, UP iAm and UP FAMNIT are emerging as valuable parts of the common European and worldwide educational and research environment. In ^Sc conducting its research the UP IAM represents an important partner in the area of Primorska, as well as in the Slovenian and international environments. The Institute is actively collaborating in several national and international projects in both scientific and research fields and in the economy.

Living in Slovenia Slovenia is the only country in Europe that combines the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst. The changing landscape is ever surprising. You can cast your eyes across the sea, then look in the other direction and see high mountains. Heading up into the forests, you can see the green plains below you. From upland meadows your view stretches into river gorges. This close proximity of opposites and contrasts is one of the country's hallmarks. The Slovenian coast - »OBALA« The stories of Slovenian Istria stretch a long way back to the times of the Illyrian tribe of Histri, who were the first known inhabitants of Istria to build fortified settlements some 2,000 years B.C., the Roman Empire and beyond. Remains of the Roman Empire can be found in hamlets in the surroundings of Koper, Izola and Piran, with coastal towns bearing the remains of times long past. The ancient atmosphere can still be felt on the cobblestone streets, in the squares, churches, houses and vibrations of everyday life. Istrian people are fortunate to enjoy a moderate climate with mild winters and warm summers, enabling them to grow olive trees, grapevines and many different kinds of fruit. Although the territory of Slovenia at first seems homogenous, it is nevertheless quite mixed when you look at the picturesque landscape of the Šavrinski hills, Bržanija, the Karst edge and the 47-kilometre-long coastline. They each have special features yet they are all parts of Slovenia's attractive coastal tourist resorts which are famous for their diversity, unspoilt nature, kind people, rich cultural heritage and their lively creativity, not to mention the well-developed yet discreet tourist offer. The oldest town in Slovenia, Koper was developed on a rocky island with the Roman name Capris. The importance of Koper in this region can be sought in its rich history that has seen changes of various reigns and states, all of which marked the city with their specific traits and names. Through many different events, visitors can discover splendid Venetian-style palaces, magnificent churches and many small picturesque squares. Today, Koper is a commercial, tourist and university city that continues developing its offer in terms of seaside resorts, nautical tourism, culture, sports and shopping. The University of Primorska brought to Koper the spirit of youth with new ideas and energy. The University's head office is located in the centre of Koper where the majority of University' members are located as well. One faculty is located in Izola and another in Portorož, so the University connects the entire Slovenian Coast. Izola In the Italian language, Izola (isola) means 'an island'. Although in the course of time the island became part of the mainland, its story is closely linked to the sea. Izola is a picturesque mosaic of tradition, history, architectural sights and hospitable people, a place featuring the harmonious coexistence of different nationalities. A host of art galleries and pleasant inns can be found when walking along the streets of the old city centre. The town offers a variety of cultural events, many of which depict old traditions and customs of the city and its surrounding villages. Izola is also well-known for the Izola General Hospital that cooperates closely with the University, especially the Faculty of Health Sciences, which is located right next to the Hospital. Piran Piran is the best preserved cultural monument of the Slovenian Istria. Throughout the ages Piran has maintained its clustered medieval structure - narrow winding streets, houses huddled close together, rising in cascades, the contact with the sea, numerous squares and churches. When you visit Piran, take a closer look at its architecture, influ- enced by the Venetian Republic, which has left its mark on most Istrian towns. A series of events takes place all year round in the open and in magnificent buildings named after famous people from Piran. Piran is a member of the European Walled Cities Association. Portorož Portorož is a town which has been known as a health resort since the 13th century. Monks initially discovered the healing properties of seawater, and sea mud. All of the town's various ruling authorities - Venetians, the members of the Habsburg Empire, as well as the French - maintained the tradition that continues even today. At the end of the 19th century, a shareholding company was established which Tourist Information Center Koper Titov trg 3 SI-6000 Koper Tel.: +386 (5) 664 64 03 tic@koper.si www.koper.si Tourist Information Center Izola Sončno nabrežje 4 SI-6310 Izola Tel.: +386 (5) 640 10 50 tic.izola@izola.si www.izola.eu Tourist Information Office Piran Tartinijev trg 2 SI-6330 Piran Tel.: +386 (5) 673 44 40 ticpi@portoroz. si www.portoroz.si Tourist Information Office Portorož Obala 16 SI-6320 Portorož Tel.: +386 (5) 674 22 20 ticpo@portoroz.si www.portoroz.si built a spa and a health resort. The modern image of Portorož with its hotels, marina, airport, casinos, wellness centres and numerous events in the 'port of flowers' (the literal translation of the town's name) difft erably from that of the old days. In Portorož, the Faculty of Tourism Studies - Turistica was established as the first Slovenian public faculty of tourism studies. Events on the Slovenian Coast A wide range of events is offered on the Slovenian coast all year round, both in coastal towns and in the surrounding villages. You can enjoy in an incredible number of festivals: some of them are connected with old customs and traditions, others are marked by music and culture. We must not forget many sports events ashore and at sea. Take your time and visit the Tourist Information Offices. They will be glad to help you. % Leisure Activities When seeking a taste of real student life or searching for an interesting extracurricular activity, students are recommended to contact the Student Organisation of the University of Primorska (ŠOUP), which is active in the following areas: culture, international co-operation and tourism, sports and student recreation, education and student counselling, and student welfare.

Healthcare The citizens of EU Member States can come to Slovenia with the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

If you have to pay for health services in Slovenia, you will be reimbursed immediately when you return home. The card covers all necessary medical care to allow you to continue your stay in Slovenia. The card does not cover the medical services of private providers.
