History of the University
How the University Started
Starting the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula in the early 2000s was a big step for Croatia's education system. The goal was to bring different schools together to form one strong university. This idea also considered the rich history and culture of Istria, where Pula is located.
Early Ideas for Education
In the 1950s, people in Istria really wanted more opportunities for higher education. They especially wanted schools for economics and teaching. Two important thinkers from Istria, Mijo Mirković and Tone Peruško, helped make this happen.
Thanks to Mirković, the first two-year economics college opened in 1960. A year later, Peruško helped open the Pedagogic Academy, which trained teachers. Peruško was also the first head of this academy.
The economics college later became the Faculty of Economics and Tourism "Dr. Mijo Mirković". The Pedagogic Academy grew into the Faculty of Philosophy and a teacher training college in Pula. Mijo Mirković even suggested creating an "Adriatic University" with schools in major coastal cities.
Growth and New Studies
Opening these first two higher education schools in Istria in the 1960s made sense for the area's future. The main ideas were to support the economy and education. These goals are still important today, but with many new courses.
For example, studying economics now includes finance, marketing, and tourism. Education studies offer more than just teacher training. They also have new programs like Croatian language and literature, Italian language and literature, history, and Latin language and Roman literature. These new studies help students become teachers or find jobs in other fields.
Official Founding
The Juraj Dobrila University of Pula was officially founded on September 29, 2006. This happened when the Croatian Parliament passed a law to create it. The university gained its legal status on December 21, 2006.
