CONNECTED UNIVERSITY
We are connecting different areas of knowledge, fields and environments
to achieve complementary benefits for all. International and
interdisciplinary approaches are important both, in our research and
in our teaching work. UP’s recent success can partially be attributed to
increased collaboration between and within faculties which followed a
rejuvenating transformation of the university in 2016. New PhD projects,
specifically designed to combine disciplines, were started to enhance
collaboration between faculties, spur innovation, and develop novel
insights.
UP has achieved and exceeded its strategic goals in the field of
internationalisation. During the 2011-2021 period, UP sought to play a
more decisive role in the international environment and increased its
share of foreign students from two percent in the 2011/12 academic year
to 15 percent in the 2020/21 academic year.
UP successfully bid to organise and host the 8th European Congress
of Mathematics (8ECM), which will be implemented on-line in June
2021. This will be the largest event this year in mathematics and 1,500
researchers and doctoral students from across Europe and the world will
attend.
In addition, UP holds 10-15 international conferences and workshops
each year, bringing together diverse regional, national, and international
partners. UP and M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University established
the Lomonosov MSU Branch in Koper. Its main purpose is to educate and
promote economic cooperation between European countries and Russia.
Two unique master’s study programmes are offered: Economics and
Finance and Mathematical Sciences. Enrolled students study one year in
Koper and one year in Moscow, obtaining a double degree at the end of
their studies.
