BA Management

Bachelor of Arts in Management at University of Primorska

The Professional Bachelor Programme in Management at the University of Primorska (UP), offered through the Faculty of Management (FM), is a three-year, full-time undergraduate degree programme delivered in Koper, Slovenia. The programme consists of six semesters and carries 180 ECTS credits. It combines practical business education with academic knowledge in economics, business management, law, and organisational sciences. Designed to align with three-year international business programmes, it prepares students for professional responsibilities in business organisations and institutions.

Curriculum and Learning Outcomes

The curriculum includes 30 courses, comprising 27 core courses and three electives, alongside a practical training workshop, an internship, and a final project paper. Students develop knowledge of business planning, organisational management, leadership, and business control. The programme emphasises analytical problem-solving, independent decision making, critical thinking, innovation, and business development. Students also examine the political, social, and cultural environments influencing organisations operating in Slovenia and internationally.

Practical Training and Career Opportunities

During the second year, students complete mandatory practical training in a selected company, providing opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in a professional business environment. Graduates acquire the competencies needed for responsible middle-management positions in companies and institutions, particularly in organisational coordination, business operations, planning, and management.

Teaching Language and Tuition Fees

The official programme description specifies Slovenian as the language of instruction, although the supplied programme summary identifies English. Therefore, the teaching language requires confirmation before the programme is advertised as English-taught.

Full-time tuition is free for eligible students from EU/EEA countries, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Non-EU tuition should be confirmed through the university’s official fee schedule. Historically reported bachelor’s tuition fees range from €2,400 to €3,750 annually, but this does not establish the current fee for this specific programme.

Admission and Application Deadlines

The supplied 2026/2027 admission information provides separate application periods for EU and eligible applicants, Western Balkan applicants, and other non-EU applicants. All listed application periods are closed. Applicants from designated higher migration risk countries are subject to a mandatory interview before further academic and administrative processing.
