The development of the Department of Geography in Maribor
dates back to 1961. In 1985, we started to conduct a vocational
study program of geography that has been a university program
since 1995. Since 1999, we have also conducted graduate studies of
geography for the field of education. In 2006, the Department of
Geography became part of the newly established Faculty of Arts
of University of Maribor, which brought several innovations to the
study of geography. The former study programs have been re-
placed step-by-step by new Bologna study programs.
In the 2008/09 academic year, we started to perform the new Bo-
logna university first-cycle double-major geography study program.
Graduates obtained a proper general geographic education that
can be upgraded in continuation (in the 2011/12 academic year) on
the second cycle in two graduate study programs: the second-cycle
