The Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka has its roots in the Department of Fine Arts, founded in 1963 at the Teacher’s Training College in Rijeka. It was launched as a two-year programme that educated future elementary school teachers of art education. With the establishment of the Faculty of Education in 1977, the Department of Fine Arts started preparing a new, four-year study programme, and in the academic year of 1979 / 1980 enrolled the first generation of students who would graduate as professors. This study represented a precursor to double major study groups because the programme ensured the studying of practical subjects, like art and art history. In 1998, the Faculty of Education was renamed into the Faculty of Philosophy, so that the Department of Art Education and Fine Arts became an integral part of this higher education institution. During its activity, the quality of the study gradually increased, especially with the transformation from two-year to four-year study that happened in 1979. The result of such education was evident in the emergence of many art educators, artists and art historians in city of Rijeka, and in the surrounding region. The department of Art Education experienced further development in 2003, when the Department Council decided to divide it into two segments: a separate Department of History of Art, which remains at the Faculty of Philosophy and the other segment that represents the beginning of the constitution of the Academy of Applied Arts. In 2004, the Academy received a work licence issued by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, and in November 2005, the Academy of Applied Arts was constituted as a new artistic educational institution of the University of Rijeka. The Academy was founded as an institution that fosters continuous propulsive varieties of styles, materials, ideas, and a strong and distinctive tradition of artists and educators and their works. The aim of the formation of the Academy was to improve the aesthetic and intellectual environment which encourages and teaches the highest level of creativity and critical thinking. Visual thinking and its creative expression represent the basis for any intellectual activity in the field of fine and applied arts, and the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka is the only higher education institution in Croatia that fosters applied arts.
