Meet the University of Split

About the University of Split Split – Academic and cultural centre of Dalmatia In order to have a clearer picture of a background of the University of Split, let me tell you few words about it. More or less, you are all familiar with Croatia. We recently joined the EU as a 28th member state. Southern Croatia called Dalmatia refers to the region along the Adriatic coast including islands and hinderland with Split as its administrative, academic and cultural centre. Major proportion of students come from Dalmatia, but also from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Study programmes attract students from other parts of Croatia as well as international students – marine studies, fisheries, forensics,…

SPLIT – 1700 years The city of Split was founded 1700 years ago with Diocletian’s Palace in its centre. It was built by the Roman emparor Diokletian at the turn of the fourth century a.d. It is the best preserved Roman building in the world nowdays protected by UNESCO. Another prominent symbol of Split is the Saint Dominus cathedral – the oldest cathedral in the world. Besides these nice places, touristic spots and beaches we also do a serious work here  at THE UNIVERSITY OF SPLIT

University Library University library Split Is a scientific institution and a central library of the University of Split. After National and University Library in Zagreb, it is one of the richest libraries in the Republic of Croatia. Its fund contains around 400,000 books and 12,000 serial publications, and there is a rich collection of rare and valuable books, geographical maps and atlases, illustration and music materials Membership for students: 90 kn (approx 12 Euros) Work even during night hour.

International Activities In recent years, we are very happy to see our university ‘’going international’’ whether through bilateral cooperation and multilateral in various international associations; or through international projects funded by European union programmes and funds.

FCT was founded in 1960.
