Background
In 1919, the year when the Faculty of Arts was founded at the University of Ljubljana, the Department of Classics was its founding basis. The Ancient Greek and Latin language were a part of the study curriculum and a tool for study in many other study disciplines. The first professor of Latin was Ivan Lunjak, who had been lecturing in Moscow, Petrograd and Odessa.
After the Second World War the leading professors of the Department were Andrej Sovré and Milan Grošelj. The two were forming the study profile of the Department and expanded its interest in many other directions.
In 1976 the Slovene Association of Antique and Humanistic Studies was founded with the aim to promote antique Roman and Greek culture. Together with the Department of Classics at the Faculty of Arts the Association is also active with providing information for professionals and individuals and with organising debates, literature presentations and related events. The Association also publishes journal Keria, Studia Latina et Graeca, which focuses on humanistic studies for different study profiles.
In the last twenty years the progress towards new study profile was made possible with the young researchers, the adaptation of the study programme and courses of Latin, Ancient and New Greek for students or other individuals.
International collaboration and student exchange
The Department is active in international student exchange, mainly with the universities from the region. Students have the opportunity to perform a part of their studies within the framework of ERASMUS student exchange at the universities in Vienna, Prague, Brno, Zagreb and Athens.
