About the Programme

The programme is provided by the Faculty of Public Administration and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science.

The study programme was approved by the Expert Council for Higher Education of the Republic of Slovenia with the Decision no. 6033-22/2008/2 on December 9, 2008. Changes of the study programme were approved by the Committee of the University of Ljubljana Senate at its 8th regular session on November 11, 2014.

The study programme is currently in the accreditation extension process. At the 18th session on May 26, 2015, the University of Ljubljana Senate confirmed the proposal of the Undergraduate Studies Committee of University of Ljubljana, the Faculty of Public Administration, and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science for extending the accreditation of the interdisciplinary university study programme, Informatics in Public Admnistration– 1st cycle.

The interdisciplinary university study programme of the Faculty of Administration and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science – Informatics in Public Administration – allows students to acquire diverse, interdisciplinary knowledge in administration and information science. With such a diverse knowledge, students should have the necessary competencies for an in-depth understanding of administration, governance, and management processes, their critical analysis, and development of information solutions that present a foundation for their better implementation. Programme graduates will be able to develop and maintain comprehensive information solutions, both the information systems as well as the necessary hardware and software. The study programme will thus train modern experts in the field of informatics in public admnistration, capable of pursuing a career in public administration, public sector, or enterprise sector at home or anywhere in the European Union.
