The School of Dental Medicine is the only higher education institution and it is one of the member faculties of the University of Zagreb. “The University of Zagreb (Universitas Studiorum Croatica, Regia Scientiarum Academia, Universitas Studiorum Zagrabiensis, etc) was established based on the several-century long tradition of sciences and education in Croats that started with the Cathedral School in 11 th century, and that continued with the Jesuit Public Grammar School, established in 1607, where, as of November 6, 1662 higher education in Philosophy and Theology was taught so that it was granted the name of an Academy (Academia Scientiarum). Following the Charter issued by the Austrian Emperor and Croatian King Leopold I on September 23, 1669, that was adopted and reconfirmed by the Croatian Parliament, the Jesuit Academy was granted university rights and privileges. Therefore the University of Zagreb takes the year of 1669 as the year of its foundation, and November 3 as its University Day. Following the decision of the Croatian Parliament, the University of Zagreb received three other Faculties – Faculty of Theology, Faculty of Philosophy and Law School, which was officially celebrated on November 19, 1874 when the Croatian Vice-Roy invited the first Chancellor, Matija Mesi ć, to take up the Chancellor seat. The University of Zagreb – one of the oldest and largest European universities and original centres of spiritual and intellectual force of the Croatian people – reaching an independent decision on its structure and operation, in accordance with constitutional and legal provisions of the Republic of Croatia that guarantee the autonomy of Croatian universities, adopted its Statutes as its fundamental act” (Statutes of the University of Zagreb, 2001 – introduction to original foundations of the University) AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL OF DENTAL MEDICINE The School of Dental Medicine – a higher education institution – has as its primary aim the research and teaching activities in undergraduate courses in education of dentists. It pursues a special task in the postgraduate course aiming at education of M.Sci. and Ph.D. graduates in dentistry. Research work within the School of Dental Medicine is carried out through research projects led by main researchers that are financially supported and evaluated by the Ministry of Sciences and Technology based on their acceptance by renowned reviewers. Apart from these projects, research and teaching staff have the possibility to carry out research within international projects with an international component, however, in such a case, financial support for these projects is provided by subjects from abroad. The School, following its granted legal competences, is obliged to carry out continuous education of dentists. However, in this segment of its activities, it is necessary to discern certain tasks of other subjects appearing in this profession, such as the Croatian Chamber of Dentistry, various associations organized by branches in dentistry, and individuals appearing in this area from the market aspect. (See – ENVISAGED OVERALL AIM OF SCHOOL OF DENTAL MEDICINE Harmonize the Curriculum with European courses of study, where it should be taken into consideration that the current course of study is based on three relevant groups in its Curriculum. Those are as follows: Subjects in basic sciences, with 195 hours or 4.5% of the total Curriculum Subjects in professional medical sciences, with 1770 or 40.7% of the total Curriculum Subjects in professional dental sciences, with 2380 hours or 54.7% of the total Curriculum.
