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. The Academy was run by the [[Jesuits]] for more than a century when the Jesuit order was dissolved by Pope [[Clement XIV]] in [[1773]]. Under a new leadership in 1772 the Academy enrolled a total of 200 students. In [[1776]] Empress and Queen [[Maria Theresa of Austria|Maria Theresa]] issued a decree founding the Royal Academy of Science (''Regia Scientiarum Academia'') consisting of three studies or faculties - Philosophy, Theology and Law. The former political-[[cameral]] studies became part of the newly established Faculty of Law, and thus were integrated into the Academy. Each of the faculties of the Royal Academy of Sciences had several chairs teaching one or several courses. The Academy in Zagreb remained until [[1874]], despite numerous organizational changes, the focal institution of higher education in Croatia, educating most of the members of the Croatian intelligentsia. Bishop [[Josip Juraj Strossmayer]] in [[1861]] proposed to the [[Croatian Parliament]] that a legal basis be established for the founding of the University of Zagreb. During his visit to Zagreb in [[1869]] the Emperor [[Franz Joseph]] signed the Decree on the Establishment of the University of Zagreb. Five years later the Parliament passed the Act of Founding, which was ratified by the Emperor on 5 January [[1874]]. On 19 October [[1874]] a ceremony was held in the name of the founding of the modern University of Zagreb. During the [[Independent State of Croatia]] (1941-1945), the university was known as the ''Croatian University'' (Hrvatsko sveučilište). ==Organization== [[Image:Zagreb University.jpg|thumb|Zagreb University, Faculty of Law|250px]] These are the 29 [[Faculty (university)|faculties]], 3 [[Academy|academies]] of [[Art|arts]] and 1 university center in which the university is divided into: * Faculty of [[Agriculture]] * Faculty of [[Architecture]] * Faculty of [[Chemical Engineering]] and [[Technology]] * Faculty of [[Civil Engineering]] * Faculty of [[Education]] and [[Rehabilitation (neuropsychology)|Rehabilitation]] * [[Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing|Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing]] * Faculty of [[Food Technology]] and [[Biotechnology]] * Faculty of [[Forestry]] * [[University of Zagreb Faculty of Geodesy|Faculty of Geodesy]] * Faculty of [[Geotechnical Engineering]] * Faculty of [[Graphic Arts]] * Faculty of [[Kinesiology]] * Faculty of [[Law]] * Faculty of [[Mechanical Engineering]] and [[Naval Architecture]] * Faculty of [[Metallurgy]] * Faculty of [[Mining]], [[Geology]] and [[Petroleum Engineering]] * Faculty of [[Science]] * Faculty of [[Organization]] and [[Informatics]] * Faculty of [[Pharmacy]] and [[Biochemistry]] * Faculty of [[Philosophy]] * Faculty of [[Political Science]] * Faculty of [[Textile Technology]] * Faculty of [[Theology]] * Faculty of [[Transport]] and [[Traffic Engineering]] * Faculty of [[Veterinary Medicine]] * Graduate School of [[Economics]] and [[Business]] * [[Medicine|Medical]] School * School of [[Dentistry|Dental Medicine]] * [[University of Zagreb Faculty of Teacher Education|Faculty of Teacher Education]] * Academy of [[Dramatic Art]] * Academy of [[Fine Arts]] * Academy of [[Music]] * University center for Croatian studies ==Legacy== Since 1874, more than 200,000 students have received a bachelor's degree, more than 18,000 a master's, and more than 8,000 a doctorate from the University of Zagreb. ==See also== * [[List of universities in Croatia]] * [[National and University Library Zagreb]] == External links == * {{hr icon}} [http://www.fkit.hr/ Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.fsb.hr/ Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.phy.hr/ Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.unizg.hr/ University of Zagreb Website] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.alu.hr/ Academy of Fine Arts, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.math.hr/ Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.arhitekt.hr/ Faculty of Architecture, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.pravo.hr/ Faculty of Law, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.ffzg.hr/ Faculty of Philosophy, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.mef.hr/ Medical School, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.fer.hr/ Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing -FER] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.geof.hr/ Faculty of Geodesy, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.efzg.hr/ Graduate school of Economics and Business, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.foi.hr/ Faculty of Organisation and Informatics, The University of Zagreb - FOI, Varaždin] * {{hr icon}} {{en icon}} [http://www.agr.hr/ Faculty of Agriculture, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.kbf.hr/ Catholic Faculty of Theology, The University of Zagreb] * {{hr icon}} [http://www.muza.hr/ Music Academy, The University of Zagreb] {{UNICA}} {{Cro Uni}} [[Category:Zagreb]] [[Category:Universities and colleges in Croatia|Zagreb]] [[Category:1669 establishments|Zagreb, University of]] [[Category:Educational institutions established in the 1660s|Zagreb, University of]] [[bs:Univerzitet u Zagrebu]] [[de:Universität Zagreb]] [[hr:Sveučilište u Zagrebu]] [[nl:Universiteit van Zagreb]] [[pl:Uniwersytet w Zagrzebiu]] [[sl:Univerza v Zagrebu]] [[fi:Zagrebin yliopisto]]
