Re-established in 2002 as Croatia's first independent comprehensive university outside the Zagreb-federated structure, the University of Zadar traces its institutional heritage to 1396 — when Dominican friars founded a studium generale (advanced theological-philosophical school) in Zadar. This places its claimed heritage among the oldest in Central Europe, alongside the Old University of Leuven and Vienna. Approximately 6,500 students. Zadar's UNESCO-recognised old town and Roman-Byzantine-Venetian-Italian-Croatian heritage layers make the university particularly distinguished in humanities, archaeology, and Mediterranean studies.

We list institutions whose accreditation we have verified against a recognized national or international accrediting body. Listing does not vouch for any specific program's recognition by destination-country regulators, individual admissions outcomes, or post-graduation credential transferability.
When you click through to a university's website, you are interacting with that institution's admissions process under their terms. Our responsibility ends at pointing you to a verified-accreditation institution.
