history

In the old building of the university

According to some authors, the Dominicans in Zadar had a studium generale for teaching theology since 1396 , which was granted the right to award academic degrees in 1553 . In 1806/07 the Napoleonic authorities replaced the so-called Universitas Jadertina in Dominican parlance with a lycée . In several international standard works on European university history, however, a university- level educational institution based in Zadar is not listed anywhere.

It is worth mentioning the Faculty of Arts, founded in 1955, which at the time was the only higher education institution in modern Croatia outside of Zagreb. The date of establishment was January 29, 2003; the first meeting of the University Senate took place on March 25th, henceforth known as University Day ( Dies Academicus ).

Departments

The university is divided into 21 departments:

Facilities

Main building in the old town

University operations are concentrated in two locations:

  • an «old campus», in a baroque building in the old town of Zadar (address: Mihovila Pavlinovića bb) and

In addition to the university, Zadar also has the Zadar Naval University and a teaching college.
