PhD in Computer Science (joint programme with University of St Andrews)

Computer Science, run jointly with the University of St Andrews, is an international joint doctoral programme connected to the University of Primorska's Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies (UP FAMNIT). According to the page, it was offered between the 2020/21 and 2022/23 academic years and has not been offered since 2023/24, so it is not open to new students. The programme was designed as a research-intensive route, requiring candidates to spend a year or more at both partner institutions. Study took place in Koper and St Andrews, and it was taught in English over four years, or eight semesters, with 240 ECTS credits. Graduates were awarded the title doktor znanosti / doktorica znanosti, together with a Doctor of Philosophy. Students could draw on supervisors and researchers at both universities and on laboratory equipment spanning various computer science subfields and cross-disciplinary areas, with the aim of preparing highly qualified researchers.
