The key to understanding a complex riddle called human being is in integral analy-
sis of the subject as a bio-psycho-social phenomenon. Our undergraduate and master’s
programmes of Biopsychology follow this concept through interweaving social and
natural sciences and provide access to all necessary theoretical knowledge and practi-
cal skills for thorough study and comprehension of individuals, groups and society at
large.
»I chose to attend this programme at FAMNIT because it provides me with important
neurological background for different psychological processes that I am interested in«,
says Tin Šenija, who gained his BSc at UP FAMNIT in 2013 and his MSc in Cogni-
tive Neuropsychology at the VU University Amsterdam. His favourite courses were
Neurological bases of higher nervous functions and Psychopharmacology, as they gave
him a deeper understanding of what is happening in the human brain under differ-
ent psychological conditions. Tin is currently a PhD student at the University of Bar-
celona.
Since 2013 the Department successfully implemented a research programme called
Alive? Alive! Research and prevention of suicide, funded by the Slovenian Research
Agency. The programme presents a comprehensive approach to the prevention of sui-
cide as a major social and public health problem in Slovenia and offers innovative ways
to research suicidal behaviour.
Another important activity of the Department is the yearly organization of the inter-
national conference Triple I - intuition, innovation and imagination and Suicidiolo-
gy, which over the years has become a platform of fruitful exchanges of views between
distinguished experts and young experts in suicide, mental health professionals, stu-
dents and the wider public from all around the world.
