The Department of Art History offers programmes of study involving Art History as a major subject (with obligatory Latin and German language lessons), plus Art History Education in combination with another subject within the Faculty of Arts with which Art History is closely connected, eg History, Archaeology, Philosophy, Literary History, Sociology or Languages. The difference between the single-major and the double-major programmes is in the extent and level of instruction in specific areas of foreign languages (Latin and German for single-major students), and the teacher-training activities and theoretical knowledge in the area of teaching methodology (for double-major students). Postgraduate (MA and PhD) studies are offered in the following general fields: medieval art (European and Slovene), modern art (European and Slovene), and protection of monuments.


History

Art history studies at the Faculty of Arts were already planned at the beginning of preparations for the establishment of the University of Ljubljana at the end of World War I, in 1919. The establishment of this study was entrusted to one of the “fathers” of Art History in Slovenia, Izidor Cankar. Lectures were launched in 1920, but were poorly attended until World War II, when access to courses increased significantly. There were already 50 seminar attendants after the war, which travelled trough Slovenia and Yugoslavia, and even got involved in some work campaigns, related to some endangered art historical sites. France Stele led the fieldwork seminar until 1957, when he retired and left his place to Stane Mikuž. Mikuž initiated first major extension of the section, and in the following decades the studies were divided in two chairs, the first covering the field of European art history, the second Slovenian and Yugoslav history. In 1993 the department moved to the southern tract of the third floor of Faculty of Arts.

Programme / Mission

In the first two years the programme consists of introductory courses (general, Slovene Art, Iconography) as well as surveys of European Art (medieval, modern), Slovene Art (medieval, modern) and the Art of Ancient Cultures. In the third and fourth years the programme focuses on seminars and special courses.

The aim of all four programmes is to qualify students for responsible professional work in different fields that involve Art History (museums, institutes for protection of the cultural heritage). The pedagogic orientation includes subjects and practical work which qualify students for teaching Art History in primary and secondary schools (art history, teaching methodology, pedagogic skills, psychology, etc).
