University of Ljubljana
Summary
The University of Ljubljana (Univerza v Ljubljani, uniʋɛ́ːɾza w ljubljàːni, Universitas Labacensis), abbreviated UL, is the oldest and largest university in Slovenia. It has approximately 38,000 enrolled students.
The University of Ljubljana is an institution with a very rich tradition. With its more than 38,000 undergraduate and graduate students, it ranks among the largest universities on the world scale. It has 23 faculties and three art academies with approximately 4,000 teaching and research staff, assisted by approximately 2,000 technical and administrative staff. The university was founded in the centre of Ljubljana, where the central university building and the majority of its faculties are located. Later on, some new, modern buildings were constructed in the suburbs of the city. The University of Ljubljana offers quality programs in the humanities, sciences, and technology, as well as in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science. At a domestic and international level, the study courses run at the University of Ljubljana and its projects follow the latest world discoveries and trends in the field of art, science and technology, to which the contribution of numerous Slovenian professors and researchers is of great importance.
Although certain academies (notably of philosophy and theology) were established as Jesuit higher education in what is now Slovenia as early as the seventeenth century, the first university was founded in 1810 under the Écoles centrales of the French imperial administration of the Illyrian provinces. The chancellor of the university in Ljubljana during the French period was Joseph Walland (a.k.a. Jožef Balant, 1763–1834), born in Upper Carniola. That university was disbanded in 1813, when Austria regained territorial control and reestablished the Imperial Royal Lyceum of Ljubljana as a higher-education institution.
During the second half of the 19th century, several political claims for the establishment of a Slovene-language university in Ljubljana were made.
