Story of us 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. The act of establishing the Faculty of information studies in Novo mesto was passed on 24th June 2008 by the National assembly of the Republic of Slovenia. It is the first pillar of the public higher educational system in the region. The study programmes started taking place in the school year 2008/09, when 122 students were registered. Since then we register 250 students each year in our four study programmes from all three study programme cycles. A good faculty is made by good professors, not by beautiful walls. Therefore, a big attention has been put on employing lecturers and researchers, who not only they have a PhD degree in the field they teach, but they have also gained experience from the projects of the European Union and economy and are prepared to advance their knowledge in a particular professional field. We put a lot of effort in research work, we perform several EU, national and market projects. We also encourage our students to participate in students contest, in which they have great results (winning the Imagine Cup, ITIME, Start-up contest ...). Vision of FIS At the Faculty of information studies we will become the best Slovenian centre of knowledge in the field of computer technology and information science and one of Europe's leading centres of science and expertise in the field of information studies. Our graduates will be among the most sought-after experts in the field of information studies. Mission of FIS We co-create the science and profession in the field of information studies. With the constant exchange and transfer of knowledge are contribute to higher level of knowledge in society with the objective of raising the quality of life and competitiveness at the regional, national and European level.
