• " One of the distinctions of a pedagogic process in the Faculty of information studies is following the principles of individual approach, which is directly visible in a more genuine relationship between students and professors or colleagues as well as in a more transparent perception of the students’ needs and wishes. This approach is of a momentous importance when gaining new knowledge and skills, since it enables students to have a more direct communication with assistants as well as with professors and contributes to a more successful study and satisfaction of students ."

  Urša Šinkovec,
  assistant at the Faculty of information studies

• " I was informed about FIS by the present schoolmate who I met entirely by chance. I was aware of the advantages that studying in a hometown offers, therefore I entered this faculty. I admit that my expectations were not high, since it was the faculty at the beginning of existence. All I wanted was to finish my studies and obtain a suitable degree of education. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the professors, since I had not expected that such young teaching staff would be so successful at carrying out the educational process. FIS enabled us to take active part in projects with future employers ."
