The Faculty of Arts at the University of Maribor was established in September 2006 when the former Academy of Education (Pedagoška akademija) was transformed into three faculties: the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the Faculty of Education. The Faculty of Arts at the University of Maribor is a young faculty although the history of its study programmes is much longer. The Faculty has 12 Departments with twelve undergraduate study programmes in humanities and seven doctoral study programmes.

History

Since 1960s the study programmes in Slovene, English, Germanic, Hungarian studies, History, Geography, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and Pedagogy were taught at the Pedagogy Academy at the University of Maribor. The newly established Departments at the Faculty are Translation studies and Art History. The Faculty of Arts was formally established in 2006 as an independent faculty. With the opening of the institutionally independent faculty the city of Maribor established a study centre for arts and humanities.

Since its foundation the Faculty developed and opened several study centres: Centre for Life-long Education, Centre for Eco-remediation, Centre for the Study of the Post-Yugoslav Societies, Centre for Intercultural Dialogue between the countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America.
