At the University of Split, approximately 20,000 students are enrolled across 11 faculties, one Academy of Arts, four university departments, and four university-level study programs. Although relatively young, the University of Split today boasts over 180 study programs offered in the fields of social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, technical sciences, biotechnical sciences, medical and biomedical sciences, as well as the arts. In an effort to offer a richer and more diverse range of studies, the University continuously enhances its academic offerings with new, interesting, and attractive study programs.
The focus of the University’s research activities lies in scientific areas and disciplines that reflect the natural, cultural-historical, social, economic, and other characteristics of the region, as part of the Croatian Adriatic and the broader Mediterranean area. This includes research and protection of artistic and architectural heritage, philology, agricultural practices, oceanography and fisheries, Adriatic botany and zoology, island and coastal economy, Adriatic tourism, maritime law, navigation, shipbuilding, and specific disciplines within technical sciences (chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering), which make the University of Split recognizable both nationally and internationally.
In addition to the quality of many university programs and its scientific and research activities, one of the key elements of the University's identity is its international cooperation. Recognizing all the benefits of international student mobility—both in terms of education and personal development—the University of Split actively encourages and supports its students to participate in international mobility programs, among which Erasmus is the most popular and significant. The University of Split has been actively and equally involved in the Erasmus program since its introduction in Croatia in 2009, providing students with opportunities for international mobility that are not limited to a select few but made widely accessible through financial support.
The University is also an increasingly attractive destination for international students, who are choosing the University of Split in growing numbers as a mobility destination through Erasmus and other programs, or even to complete their entire course of study. Beyond teaching, the University maintains strong international cooperation in other areas of its activity. It is involved in numerous international projects, programs, and associations. With around one hundred bilateral agreements with foreign universities in Europe, the USA, Australia, Japan, Canada, and Russia, and about 150 LLP agreements with renowned European universities, the University provides a solid foundation for student and staff mobility.
