History of Study and Faculty |
| |
| |
The
independent study of the textile technology in Croatia started at the
beginning of 1960 as a study at the Faculty of Technology in Zagreb
(first only textile chemical engineering, later mechanical and
clothing engineering) and at three independent colleges of textiles
in Duga Resa, Varaždin and Zagreb.
The
Junior College of Zagreb started to educate textile and clothing
designers in the seventies of the last century. In 1983 the junior
colleges were integrated into the Institute of Textile and Clothing
(part of the Faculty of Technology at that time). In 1991 the
Institute of Textile and Clothing was organized as an independent
Institution named Faculty of Textile Technology of the University of
Zagreb and became the only higher education Institution in the
scientific field of textile technology in Croatia and the only one
which is systematically engaged in scientific research work in this
field.
The Faculty of Textile Technology was the strongest higher education
institution in the field of textiles and clothing in former
Yugoslavia based on the concentration of scientific and higher
education teaching staff, number of students and possibility of
scientific and professional work. Today, it is also one of the
leading faculties of this type in Europe, and our diplomas are
internationally acknowledged by AUTEX (Association of Universities
for Textiles) and Textile Institute Manchester (GB) for the region of
Commonwealth and the USA.
