The Department of Geography is one of the two founding cores
of the Faculty of Humanities, as it began operating in 2001 when
the first students of the bachelor degree program were enrolled in
the study process. In the 2015/2016 academic year, the department
had 18 members, six of which were fully employed by the depart-
ment, while others were external collaborators coming from the
Anton Melik Geographical Institute of Research Centre in Ljublja-
na and the Karst Research Institute in Postojna (both operate un-
der the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts). The members
of the department show a high degree of scientific research ex-
cellence in their fields of expertise and have achieved internation-
al respect in the field of geography with the regular publication of
scientific articles in renowned journals, the organization of sever-
al international scientific conferences, and as chairs and members
of the International Geographical Union’s commissions and edito-
rial committees.
By the structure of its programme, the Department of Geography
at the University of Primorska, Faculty of Humanities, shows the
enthusiasm of a young, dynamic, and modern professional orienta-
tion. The motivated teaching staff is a guarantee for obtaining the
relevant competencies in the field of geography in a bachelor, mas-
ter, or doctoral study program.
