The Faculty of Architecture is the oldest institution of higher education in Croatia combining instruction and research in the fields of architecture and urban planning. The Faculty nourishes the scope and tradition of engineering skills and knowledge, complemented by artistic principles and activities as an inherent feature of the architectural design process. Its curriculum is comparable to the curricula of most schools of architecture at European universities and to a large extent to those at universities of both North and South America. The undergraduate programme is based on a balance of lectures and studios. The programme is enriched and complemented by architectural summer schools in Motovun in Istria and Pučišća (Island of Brač). The summer school in Motovun has an international flavour and has been a part of the programme for more than 20 years. Field trips are a particular form of the instruction in the first four years of study. Students, guided by their teachers, visit Croatian regions and are acquainted with historical and contemporary urban planning and architectural achievements.
The primary objective of the programme is to prepare students for professional careers in highly complex and demanding fields of contemporary architecture and urban planning and to assist them in developing a high level of excellence and intelligence required by young professionals these days. The Faculty nourishes the scope and tradition of engineering knowledge and skills complemented by artistic principles and reflection as inherent features of the architectural design process. Students are directed towards a realistic, problem-solving approach but within a broader cultural and social framework.
Students are offered a balance of theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed by numerous and varied disciplines and are permanently encouraged to develop their intellect and creativity. They are introduced to basic principles and methods of scientific research and stimulated to learn through their own creative efforts in architectural design and urban planning. Research is based on integral understanding of inventive and pragmatic demands which constitute architectural and urban planning issues.
There has always been a great interest for architectural study due to a broad range of jobs in the fields of architecture and urban planning. Also, this interest is motivated by architecture’s social and cultural relevance. Employment prospects are excellent both in private and public sectors and as independent free-lance practices. A great number of public and economic institutions show considerable interest in this type of university study as well: government institutions, ministries, towns, counties and professional chambers. Professional designers can practice their profession as employees in various industry and marketing or design agencies, architectural and design studios as well as free-lance designers.
Research is based on integral understanding of both inventive and pragmatic demands which constitute architectural design and urban planning. The approach to project development is based on comprehensive analyses of functional, technical, programmatic and contextual aspects of architectural typologies and different scales of urban planning in order to respond to society’s needs. Research is directed towards a realistic, problem-solving approach within a broader cultural and social framework. Research studies include history of art and architecture, contemporary architectural theories, sustainability matters, means of architectural representation and recent investigations in architectural and urban design.

The Faculty offers a three-year (six-semester) bachelor's degree programme in Environmental Engineering, a two-year Master's programme in Environmental Engineering and postdoctoral study programme in Environmental Engineering. Environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study that involves the applications of natural sciences, geology, hydrology, civil and other engineering principles to the problems connected with engineering behaviour of earth materials, water management and environmental protection. Accordingly, in the second cycle students can choose between the Geoenvironmental Engineering module, Environmental Management module, and Water Management module.
The Bachelor programme of Environmental engineering has 180 ECTS credits. The curriculum comprises environmental aspects of geotechnical and hydrotechnical engineering, and environmental protection measures and procedures for the remediation of soil, water and air pollution, appropriate to the engineering study at the bachelor level. A special emphasis is given to the laboratory and on-site teaching in order to acquire knowledge and skills in the sampling and analysis of air, soil, water and waste. The programme will teach students to recognize and describe various problems in environmental engineering and to develop competencies to apply their knowledge in practice.
The Master programme of Environmental Engineering has 120 ECTS credits and it comprises the courses in Geoenvironmental Engineering, Environmental Management and Water Management. The students who have completed the 1st cycle programme of Environmental engineering or any other comparable programme can apply for the admission. During the studies students gain advanced level of knowledge and skills in specific areas of environmental engineering. The graduates will develop competencies to identify, analize and solve various problems in environmental engineering and to apply their knowledge in practice.
The doctoral study programme offers a certain number of lectures which are necessary for the acquisition of scientific knowledge and a level of engineering education important for solving economic and social problems in environment. The attention is also paid to other types of teaching work such as research seminars and discussion groups, with the purpose of writing, publishing and presenting scientific papers, i.e. the activities whose function is to train students for an independent research work. The subject matter of the doctoral study requires that doctoral students have an interdisciplinary approach to solving engineering problems, that they develop critical thinking and adjustment to teamwork. By conducting a scientific research, doctoral students acquire knowledge and research competences such as analytical and critical thinking and planning, organizing and managing of scientific projects- in this case a doctoral research, which original scientific contribution eventually results through the process of writing and defense of a doctoral dissertation.
The Bachelor programme ensures the adequate preparation for the continuation of the education at the master level as well as practical competencies nedeed to start a career as a bachelor of engineering. The Master programme of Enviornmental Engineering ensures the adequate competencies for graduates to start successfully their professional career and to continue their professional development. Environmental engineering and geoengineering offer job opportunities in public sector and in private companies specializing in geotechnical engineering, hydrotechnical engineering and environmental protection.
The entire structure of the doctoral study stimulates students to work independently, to manage research works responsibly and to acquire work competences and responsibility for their own progress. A course which particularly develops generic and transfer skills of a scientific work is Research work methodology, which is required in the first year of the study. Besides that, each elective course such as Environmental management, Environmental economics, Environmental protection policy, Moral and ethical approach to the environment, Ecological problems, Corporate and environmental management systems, Communication and education in environmental protection in a way contributes to the development of generic skills in solving the problems of environmental engineering. Furthermore, during the study either as part of the curriculum or for the needs of conducting a research, doctoral students have a possibility to develop other generic or transfer skills firstly through their work in well-equipped laboratories or through participation in field research works. In that sense they are involved in the entire work process from samples preparation, device calibration, measurement, analysis and data management, which enables them to acquire work competences in a practical way. Doctoral students can use a specialized programme packages in the field of doctoral research, which is another necessary work competence as well as a transfer skill necessary for their future career.
Faculty research areas include water resources, groundwater protection, geotechnical aspects of landfills, extraction and mining, and other environmental topics connected with soil, air and water. Practical and scientific research is conducted in the Geotechnical laboratory, the Laboratory of Environmental Geochemistry, the laboratory of Environmental Engineering and the GIS lab where students gain practical experience necessary for their future profession.

The Faculty of Mining, Geology, and Petroleum Engineering of the University of Zagreb is among the leading engineering faculties in Croatia, with approximately 350 undergraduate students and 300 graduate and postgraduate students. It developed from the Chair and the Department of Mineralogy and Geology, which was active from the very beginning as a part of the Royal Technical College, established in 1918. The Faculty educates experts in the area of technical sciences as well as in the area of natural sciences. It develops both areas educationally, scientifically and professionally. It also cooperates with the largest domestic companies as well as with similar institutions abroad, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, the United States, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
The main research projects are in the field of technical sciences – mining engineering, geological engineering and petroleum engineering, and in the field of natural sciences within geosciences – geology of mineral resources and exploration geophysics. The Faculty coordinates or participates in national projects and in a number of bilateral and multilateral international projects within different programmes.
The programme stresses the need for a strong foundation in Mathematics and Physics, followed by a thorough coverage of basic engineering such as Mechanics, as well as Soil, Rock and Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Applied Geology, Mineralogy, Geophysics and Geodesy. In the later years students are given specialised courses in various disciplines of geotechnology (mining and petroleum engineering) or applied geosciences (geology and geological engineering). In this way, graduate students have the opportunity to choose the specialisation in one of the areas defined by nine graduate study courses. Field work is an important form of studying at the Faculty. The chosen sites are situated in Croatia as well as abroad, on land and at sea, on the surface and under it. The postgraduate doctoral programme of mining, petroleum engineering, geology and geological engineering includes courses during the first year and research, laboratory work and tutorials during the second and third years. Part-time students are accepted in the programme but with the doubled duration of study.
Mining engineers generally work in companies dealing with mining or geotechnical operations, water works, blasting activities or land reclamation procedures. Geology graduates will find employment in exploration companies, consultancies or laboratories, also in the geophysical exploration and drilling activities and in the local administration, nature reserves and national parks. Geological engineers will perform engineering-geological exploration and hydrogeology-related research in the communal and public companies and in the private sector as well. Petroleum engineers will find employment in all types of activities connected to the exploration, production, transport and storage of oil and gas, deep drilling, energy production and distribution, as well as in the management of fossil fuels resources.
