The University of Zagreb (UNIZG) (founded in 1669) is the oldest and largest university in Southeast Europe. As a comprehensive Central European public university, the University of Zagreb offers education and research in all scientific fields (arts, biomedical, biotechnology, engineering, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences) and a wide range of courses at all levels of study, from undergraduate to postgraduate.
With 30 Faculties and 3 Arts Academies, it is the country’s flagship educational institution, where more than 7900 teachers and 72480 students develop knowledge and acquire skills. The University excels not only in teaching but also in research, contributing more than 50% of the annual research output in Croatia and 80% of the scientific productivity of all Croatian universities.
The central strategic issue of the future development of the University of Zagreb is that it is a research-oriented institution with high-quality teaching. Accordingly, the focus will be on master’s and doctoral programmes covering all fields of science and arts, promoting inter- and transdisciplinary and translational research, and nurturing a culture of innovation and knowledge transfer. This should result in better cross-sectoral harmonisation at local and regional levels.
The University of Zagreb, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences (UNIZG FTTS) was established in 1984 as an independent scientific, teaching and research institution. UNIZG FTTS has 190 employees, of which 120 are scientific researchers, 30 are researchers, and 40 are technical staff.
UNIZG FTTS has four locations: (1) Vukelićeva 4 (administrative and lecture rooms), (2) Campus Borongaj (researcher, lecture rooms and laboratories), (3) Kušlanova 2 (laboratory and lecture rooms) and (4) Airport Lučko (hangar, lecture rooms, flight simulators and maintenance facility). Overall, we have 21 laboratories covering almost all research in the field of transport and traffic sciences. At the moment, UNIZG FTTS is a leading scientific and research institution in Croatia, covering about 80% of the entire country research output, and is the leading institution for training in the field of transport and traffic sciences.
UNIZG FTTS has expertise in the broad field of transport and traffic, which includes knowledge of passenger transport, cargo transport, transport technology, safety and security, and transport management. Furthermore, the current study programme Transport covers important strategic objectives such as modal shift, green transport, intermodal transport, and integrated passenger transport systems. We cover all three cycles of the Bologna process: bachelor, master and doctoral education.
