Founded in the spring of 1945, immediately after the end of the Second World War, as an Academy of Dramatic Arts and for the training of actors , screenwriters and dramaturges , it essentially goes back to a training facility set up by partisans in 1943 in the free part of the then occupied Slovenia.

In the course of the arrival of television in Slovenia at the end of the 1950s, in 1963 film and radio were added to the curriculum in addition to the theater disciplines, and shortly afterwards television, which resulted in the renaming of the Academy for Theater, Radio, Film and Television . Since 1975 the Academy has been a faculty of the University of Ljubljana .
