  1. University of Zagreb • The University of Zagreb is the oldest Croatian university and also the oldest university in South-Eastern Europe. • The university was officially founded 23 September 1669 by Emperor and King Leopold I Habsburg who issued a diploma granting the status and privileges of a university to the Jesuit Academy of the Royal Free City of Zagreb. • According to that document the study of philosophy in Zagreb acquired a formal and legal status as Neoacademia Zagrabiensis and officially became a public institution of higher education.

  2. University of Zagreb • 28 Faculties • 3 Art Academies • Specific organization: Faculties are legal entities • www.unizg.hr

  3. The University in numbers • 53.951 students in academic year 1998/99. • Since 1874 • more than 200.000 students graduated • more than 18.000 students obtained masters degrees • more than 8.000 students obtained Ph.d. degrees

  4. Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing • By decision of the Parliament of the People's Republic of Croatia of 26 April 1956, the former College of Engineering of the University of Zagreb was divided into four new faculties, one of them becoming Faculty of Electrical Engineering, which started its independent existence on July 1st, 1956. • The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (ETF - Elektrotehnički fakultet, in Croatian)existed under this name until February 7th, 1995when it was renamed the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. • Curriculum changed 5 times since 1956. • Computing introduced in 1970.
