 INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDY PROGRAMME COMPUTER
AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
Main objectives of the programme
Computer and information science is one of the leading breakthrough fields that have been shaping
today’s economy, education, culture, administration and other areas for several decades now. The striking
growth of computer technology dictates the need for highly qualified staff capable of developing,
managing and maintaining user and systems technology and the IT systems based on those technologies.
This academic study programme appeals to and motivates young professionals, especially those who feel
drawn to computer and information science. The programme is comparable with international standards
and recommendations, and keeps up with the rapid development of computer science and the latest
knowledge. The study programme accordingly provides future engineers with a sufficient professional
basis to be able later on, after completing undergraduate studies, to keep abreast of technological changes
and successfully continue their career both in Slovenia and on an international level. The study
programme allows students to tailor courses according to their desires, preferences and motivation, in
keeping with the various possibilities offered by professional specialisations. The initial core courses are
followed by elective modules that offer specialisations in various technical fields.

General competences
 developing skills in critical, analytical and synthetic thinking,
 the ability to define, understand and creatively solve technical challenges in computer and
information science,
 the ability to transfer knowledge, and professional communication and writing skills,
 the ability to search sources and critically analyse information,
 professional, environmental and social responsibility,
 the ability to apply acquired knowledge in independent work for solving technical and scientific
problems in computer and information science,
 the ability to acquire new and enhance acquired technical knowledge,
 skills for group work in the profession, including with experts in other technical fields,
 developing professional responsibility and ethics,
 basic theoretical knowledge acquired in the fields of computer science and information technology
and in the natural sciences and mathematics, which provides an excellent basis for continuing
studies at the next level, both in computer science and in other technical fields.
Subject-specific competences
 basic skills in computer and information science, which include basic theoretical skills and skills
essential for the fields of computer and information science (mathematical treatment of problems,
theoretical basis of computer science),
 the ability to understand and apply computer and information science knowledge to other technical
and professionally relevant fields (economics, organisational science, etc.),
 practical knowledge and skills in the development of software, hardware and information
technologies, which are a necessary part of a successful professional’s work in computer and
information science (programming, computer architecture, networks),
 the ability to independently perform complex developmental engineering and organisational tasks in
own specialised fields, and independently tackle specific, well-defined tasks in computer and
information science areas.
Admission requirements
Enrolment in the academic programme is open to students who:
a) have passed the general school-leaving examination (matura),
b) have completed a vocational matura exam in any secondary school programme and an exam in one
of the matura subjects: computer science, mathematics or physics; the chosen subject must not be the
same as the subject the candidate passes for the vocational Matura exam,
c) have completed any four-year secondary school study programme before 1 June 1995.
Selection criteria for limited enrolment
If a decision is taken to limit enrolment,
- candidates referred to in points 29 a) and c) will be selected depending on:
• overall pass in the general matura or school-leaving exam, 60% of points,
• overall grades in the third and fourth years, 40% of points,
- candidates from point 29 b) will be selected depending on:
• overall grades in the vocational matura, 20% of points,
• overall grades in the third and fourth years, 40% of points,
• grade in one matura exam subject, 40% of points.
Criteria for recognising knowledge and skills acquired prior to enrolment
The study programme enables the recognition of relevant knowledge in the field acquired through formal,
non-formal or experiential learning. The basis for recognition is the Rules on the procedure and criteria
for recognising non-formally acquired knowledge and skills. This type of knowledge can be recognised
as part of the completed study requirements, at up to 6 ECTS for one set (the approximate study
programme covered in one course) of knowledge acquired outside the Faculty. In the recognition process
certificates and other documents are taken into account. Requests for recognition of acquired knowledge
will be considered by FRI’s Committee for Study Affairs.
Assessment methods
The methods of assessment comply with the UL Statutes and are set out in the curriculums.
Requirements for progression through the course
Requirements for progressing to a higher year
Students who have completed course units consisting of 53 credit points may enrol in the second year.
Students who have completed all the requirements of the first year and course units consisting of 53
credits in the second year may enrol in the third year.
Requirements for retaking a year
To retake a year, students must complete the following:
a) at least half of the requirements from the study programme of that year (30 ECTS),
b) all exams from the years before.
Students can only retake a year once in their course of study; changing programme is also considered
retaking a year, because of the uncompleted requirements of the previous study programme.
Counselling and guidance during study
During the period of study the Career Centre at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science and
tutors will be in direct contact with students, guiding their development, exercising concern for their
academic success, motivating them towards personal advancement in the profession, and helping and
advising them in resolving possible difficulties, problems and crises that can impede students during their
course. If they encounter difficulties, students can also turn to the Career Centre of the University of
Ljubljana.
Requirements for transferring between programmes
In accordance with the Criteria for Transferring between Programmes, transferring is possible from study
programmes which upon completion guarantee similar competences and which enable the recognition
of at least half of the obligations based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) from the first
study programme relating to compulsory subjects of the second study programme. Transferring from
other programmes is possible after the first year of study.
The requirements for transferring to the first-cycle academic study programme Computer and
Information Science from other programmes (academic and professional) are:
• completed requirements for enrolment in the programme,
• at least an equivalent curriculum in Mathematics and Physics in the programme from which students
transfer; the recognised courses must have at least as many credits as the aforementioned courses,
• the appropriate faculty authority defines, on the basis of a comparison of the two programmes, the
requirements to be recognised and the year in which the candidate can enrol, and consequently issues a
decision. Transferring is possible on the basis of the provisions applicable to such programmes.
The requirements for transferring to the academic programme Computer and Information Science
from post-secondary programmes are:
• recognised ECTS credits the candidate obtained in the post-secondary programme; due to the
variability and the different levels of difficulty in post-secondary programmes, the level of the
candidate’s knowledge is assessed by a special Admissions Committee, headed by the Vice Dean for
Education, and it consequently approves the courses to be recognised for each individual student,
• the appropriate faculty authority defines, on the basis of a comparison of the two programmes, the
requirements to be recognised and the year in which the candidate can enrol, and consequently issues a
decision.
Requirements for completing the study programme
The requirements for completion of the programme are the passing of all exams and other
requirements, including the diploma seminar, in a total of 180 ECTS.
Requirements for completing individual parts of the programme if the programme
contains them
The study programme contains no parts that can be completed individually. The programme is integral.
