Faculty of Arts
Faculty of Arts is the youngest member of University of Maribor, as it was established in 2006, and the first students started to study in academic year 2006/07. its youth is only apparent, as study programs and departments were formed and developed in the framework of the Faculty of Pedagogy a long time ago. In the last few years, it was just the question of the "right moment", when Slavic Studies, English and American Studies, German Studies, Hungarian Studies, History, Geography, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology and Pedagogy will leave behind the old frames and become independent in the new Faculty of Arts. Maribor needed an independent humanistic faculty, and with Faculty of Arts everybody wins: the town, university, professors and students - of course, if we will know how to free it from the tight institutional frames and develop it in the university town Maribor into a real intellectual, research and educational center, in an important development axis of the town.
