BSc Mathematics

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at University of Primorska

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the University of Primorska (UP), offered by the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (FAMNIT), is a three-year, full-time undergraduate academic programme based in Koper, Slovenia. The programme is taught in English and Slovenian, consists of six semesters, and carries 180 ECTS credits. It provides a comprehensive foundation in mathematical theory, analytical reasoning, computational methods, and problem solving techniques, preparing students for further academic study, research, and applications of mathematics across scientific and industrial fields.

Curriculum and Specialisations

During the first year and part of the second year, students study fundamental mathematical subjects, including mathematical analysis, algebra, discrete mathematics, numerical computation, probability theory, and computer science. The remaining curriculum offers opportunities to explore theoretical and applied mathematics through specialised and interdisciplinary elective courses, including subjects connecting mathematics with biology, biochemistry, and computer science.

In the third year, students select a study field from seven available specialisations: Discrete Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Cryptography, Computer Intensive Methods and Applications, Statistics, General Mathematics, and Theoretical Mathematics. The programme encourages independent problem-solving, interdisciplinary thinking, and undergraduate research engagement.

Tuition Fees and Academic Requirements

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 fees should be confirmed through the university’s official tuition fee schedule; historically reported bachelor’s fees range from €2,400 to €3,750 per year.

Students must earn at least 42 ECTS credits from the current academic year and complete all previous-year requirements to progress normally. Graduation requires successful completion of all programme requirements totalling 180 ECTS credits. The programme is officially recognised and accredited in accordance with the Slovenian Higher Education Act.
