Established in 1961, the University of Maribor is Slovenia's second university. It currently comprises 15 faculties and a college.


The tradition of higher education in Maribor dates back to the year 1859, when Lavantinian Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek transferred the episcopal seat from St Andrew in the Labot Valley Carinthia to Maribor, and soon after that announced the establishment of the Slovene Theological College. The direct predecessor of today’s University of Maribor was the Association of Colleges of Higher Education, established in 1961 and incorporating six higher vocational schools which had been set up during the previous three years. Thereafter Maribor became a strong seat of learning. In 1975 these six institutions were combined to form the University of Maribor.

In 2007 the University of Maribor comprised 15 faculties and the College of Nursing Studies. Over the past three decades about 56,000 people have graduated from the university, and today it is a regionally-oriented yet European institution. Several international seminars have been hosted by individual faculties..

The University of Maribor is actively engaged in both bilateral and multilateral international co-operation. The University of Maribor has signed co-operation agreements with partner universities in Albania, Argentina, Australia, China, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Austria (6), Bosnia and Herzegovina (3), Croatia (4), the Czech Republic (2), Denmark (2), France (5), Germany (5), Hungary (2), Italy (2), Japan (2), the USA (11) and Serbia (2). Multilateral academic co-operation includes membership of international higher education institutions, participation in European Union projects such as TEMPUS, CEEPUS and SOCRATES, projects of other international organisations and agencies like the Council of Europe, UNESCO and the British Council, the annual organisation of the international cultural and historical symposium MODINCI, and the organisation of summer schools (International Summer University 'Europe of Regions' in Bovec, Alps-Adria International Summer University). In the academic year 2002-2003 the University of Maribor chaired the Rectors' Conference of Alpe-Adria and took over the co-ordination of the ELISA information database of this association. The University's International Academic Relations Office also has a resource library with prospectuses and calendars of foreign universities plus extensive information on higher education abroad. This Office provides information on criteria and admission requirements for undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Maribor for foreign students and offers them counselling and guidance concerning their integration into the new learning environment and culture.
