Tuesday, 1 October 2024 18th Generation of students begins the new academic year at UP FAMNIT

UP welcomed freshmen at the traditional reception for new students, held in person this time in the Municipality of Piran, at the UP Faculty of Tourism Studies – Turistica.

The UP Rector Dr. Klavdija Kutnar, addressed the students at the reception, wishing them: »You have come to an open university. Help us to broaden our perspectives even further, to look for bold ideas, to overcome differences, to push ourselves out of our comfort zone. Let us overcome the boundaries of worlds together and with enthusiasm – because only beyond the boundaries lies true freedom.« (The full speech is available via the link).

At UP FAMNIT (in Koper and Izola), freshmen, together with the coordinators of their study programs, followed the introductory welcome, which was also attended by the Dean of UP FAMNIT, Dr. Ademir Hujdurović, through a live broadcast. Afterward, key information for the start of the new academic year was presented in the lecture rooms. Following the meetings with coordinators, there was a presentation of the UP FAMNIT Student Council tutors, as well as the Student Organization of the University of Primorska (ŠOUP).

Freshmen formally step into the university for the first time on October 1st – but last week, UP already welcomed foreign students during the so-called orientation days.

The University of Primorska enters this academic year as a fully active member of the European Transform4Europe University (T4EU), as November 1st marks one year since joining and deepening cooperation in the field of exchanges as well as conducting joint courses, welcoming members to the T4EU week in May and other collaborations that put UP students in the right role as European students.

The activities marking the start of the new academic year continue on Saturday, October 5th, when we will host the Start UP event at the Seaside Park in Žusterna – a sports and social event for all UP students, featuring presentations from various university organizations and local community groups, along with a musical program and prizes for successfully completing activities at different stations.

Official enrollment data for the 2024/25 academic year will be available in a month.

We wish all students a successful, interesting, and enjoyable academic year!
