The Faculty of information studies is the first public faculty independent of any Slovene university and at the same time it is the first faculty in Novo mesto. It is the first pillar of the public higher educational system in the region.
The faculty cooperates with many strategic partners which it develops modern, applicative and development-oriented projects with. The faculty wants to attract companies and researchers who are interested by the newest development, who want to exchange ideas about new projects and who offer or search technologies from different interdisciplinary areas (ICT, social science,). In addition, time the faculty is open for a cooperation with economics, since we are certain that joined projects with economy will enable the faculty, economics and the contemporary society a universal development. At the same time the research activity enables students to become familiar with a real environment.... |
