1.27Faculty of Maritime Studies
Educational activities at the Faculty of Maritime Studies date back to 1866 when, in the building of the former hospital, the Austrian-Hungarian Naval Academy opened its doors. Since 1889, the Academy has acted as the Imperial and Royal Naval Academy (Marine Academy). During the First World War, the Academy ceased its work in Rijeka and was relocated to Vienna. It should be noted that the Croatian admiral Maximilian Njegovan (1858-1930), and one of the most famous officers of the Austrian-Hungarian Navy as well as the first commander of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, Croatian Admiral Janko pl. Vuković-Podkapelski (1871-1918) have graduated from the Austrian-Hungarian Naval Academy. Training at the Academy lasted for four years. Students usually enrolled after graduating from grammar school and they came from various parts of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The Academy was open until 1914 when educational work was abandoned and the Academy turned into a field hospital, i.e. until 1918 when, after the fall of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, it was redesigned into the main city hospital. Disruption in higher education in the field of maritime affairs lasted until 1949, when on fourth of April 1949 the Maritime College in Rijeka was established by a Yugoslav government decree and later became a Faculty and continued its work to the present day. With the arrival of the first foreign students to the Maritime College in 1960, a new chapter of the school’s history started, and it became an international maritime educational institution in which 550 students from 24 countries acquired degrees in maritime studies. The College was transformed into the Faculty of Maritime and Transportation Studies in 1978 when it became a member of the University of Rijeka. Those years were filled with work on modernizing the curricula in order to meet the needs of shipping, sea ports and other maritime activities and requirements of the International Maritime Organization. With the aim of promoting maritime profession in the Republic of Croatia and constant work at perfecting the scientific and educational processes, the Faculty of Maritime and Transportation Studies changed its name to the Faculty of Maritime Studies in 1992. In May 1998, the Faculty of Maritime Studies was reorganized into two institutions: the Maritime College with Professional Studies and the University of Rijeka, Department of Maritime Studies for carrying out university undergraduate study programmes as well as postgraduate study programmes. In July 2001, the Department of Maritime Studies and the Maritime College, based on the consent of the authorized Ministry, were once again integrated into the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Maritime Studies. In the academic year of 2005/2006, Faculty of Maritime Studies began with the implementation of the Bologna process by accepting the system of education that is based on three cycles: undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies. The curricula contain the necessary knowledge in the field of engineering, technology, economics, law and management. Application of this knowledge allows recruitment and successful work in the profession, as well as in different maritime and transport agencies and companies whose activities are closely associated with shipping (shipping, sea ports, port authorities, the ministries responsible for maritime industry, cargo ships/freighters, agencies, the customs, transport companies, etc.).
