The study programme is implemented in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. It is oriented towards delivering the theoretical bases od computer science and related advanced fields od discrete and computational mathematics. During the course of studies, students acquire a wide range of knowledge of the basics of computer science, informatics and mathematics, and learn to control and later develop new advancements in the field. A solid mathematical basis helps them understand and integrate new interdisciplinary fields such as biotechnology, biomedical informatics, theoretical chemistry etc.

  • Main objectives and acquired competences of the programme

The aim of the interdisciplinary programme of Computer Science and Mathematics is to provide training in the theoretical foundations of computer science and the related modern branches of discrete mathematics and computing.

Graduates acquire a wide range of knowledge in the basics of computer and information science, enabling them to understand and later on develop new achievements in this area. Furthermore, this study programme continues to produce highly-qualified experts who are trained to work with new technologies yet to be developed, whilst continuing and expanding research and discoveries in computer science and computer mathematics.

Graduates also have a good grasp of background knowledge and can work in new interdisciplinary fields where they can apply their expertise both in theoretical computer science and the relevant mathematical support fields, such as certain disciplines of biotechnology (e.g. genetics and bioinformatics), biomedical sciences, theoretical chemistry and so on. 

General competencies acquired through the programme

Graduates are qualified to work in the development of information technologies and research in mathematics and computer science. Their solid foundation also serves them in acquiring new skills in the rapidly evolving field of computer science. Graduates acquire the following general competences:

  • Problem abstraction and analysis;
  • The ability to synthesise and critically assess results;
  • The ability to apply knowledge in practice;
  • The ability to communicate knowledge, expert spoken and written communication;
  • The ability to find resources and critically assess information;
  • The ability to work independently as well as in a team (international team),
  • The ability to develop professional responsibility and work ethics.

  • Assessment Methods

Assessment methods are defined individually for each course in the syllabus. The general rules for assessment methods are regulated by the Study Rules and Regulations for Bologna Study Programmes FRI and the FMF Assessment Rules. For all courses, knowledge is assessed through a written and/or oral exam. Assessment methods can include: lab tutorial written exams, lab tutorial oral exams, seminars and project work and their oral defences. The grading scale follows the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana. All assessments are graded on a scale from 5-10, where 6-10 are passing grades and 5 failing grade or description grades “passed with excellence" / "passed” / “failed”.
