History

• The university was formally constituted on 15 June 1974, when the higher schools and faculties already operating in Split were gathered into a single university by decision of the Croatian authorities.1974 年 6 月 15 日，根据克罗地亚当局的决定，学校正式组建，此前已在斯普利特办学的多所高等学校与学院被整合进一所大学。
• Its oldest constituent, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), began in 1960 as an autonomous institution within Zagreb University, the parent institution for much of Croatian higher education at the time.其中历史最久的电气工程、机械工程与造船学院（FESB）于 1960 年作为萨格勒布大学内部的一个自治机构创办，当时克罗地亚大部分高等教育都隶属这所母体大学。
• FESB was renamed in 1971 and became a founding faculty of the University of Split three years later, when the new university opened its doors with the faculties that had lobbied for its creation.FESB 于 1971 年改为现名，三年后新大学成立时成为其创始学院之一，与那些长期争取建校的院系一道组成了这所大学。
• Medical teaching in Split dates from a postgraduate course established in 1963, while the University of Zagreb ran full medical courses in the city from 1974 and awarded the first local degrees.斯普利特的医学教学可追溯到 1963 年开设的研究生课程，而萨格勒布大学自 1974 年起在该市开设完整的医学课程并授予首批本地学位。
• The Split Medical School became an independent constituent in 1997, ending more than two decades of direct supervision from Zagreb and allowing the faculty to design its own clinical curriculum.斯普利特医学院于 1997 年成为独立学院，结束了萨格勒布方面二十多年的直接管理，并得以自行设计临床课程。
• In 1976 FESB completed its own four-year mechanical engineering curriculum, one of the first full engineering degrees taught entirely in the city rather than in the capital.1976 年，FESB 开出完整的四年制机械工程课程，这是最早完全在斯普利特而非首都授课的工程学位之一。
• The first phase of the FESB building on the university campus was finished in 1980, giving the faculty a permanent home north of the historic centre and room for laboratories.FESB 在大学校园内的第一期大楼于 1980 年落成，该学院自此在历史城区以北有了永久校舍和实验室空间。
• Croatia's declaration of independence in 1991 and the war that followed forced Croatian universities to rebuild their legal and international frameworks while coping with displaced students and disrupted funding.克罗地亚于 1991 年宣布独立，随后的战争迫使克罗地亚各大学在应对流离失所的学生与经费中断的同时，重建法律地位与国际合作框架。
• After the war ended in 1995, the university renewed links with European partners and began preparing for the Bologna reforms that would reshape its degrees.1995 年战争结束后，学校重新建立与欧洲伙伴的联系，并开始为重塑学位的博洛尼亚改革做准备。
• Croatia signed the Bologna Declaration in 2001, and Split restructured its programmes into bachelor's, master's and doctoral cycles with credits transferable across Europe.克罗地亚于 2001 年签署《博洛尼亚宣言》，斯普利特大学随后把课程重构为学士、硕士与博士三级体系，学分可在欧洲范围内转换。
