On Thursday, January 29, 2026, students from the Technical School in Zagreb, accompanied by their religion teacher Ivana Hojanić and school counselor Elizabeta Elena Delić, visited the Catholic University of Croatia in Zagreb. The visit aimed to familiarize the students with academic life and provide insight into the study programs offered by the University.

The students were welcomed by the Head of the University Department of History, Associate Professor Mario Kevo, PhD, who presented the work of the Department of History, the full range of study programs at the Catholic University of Croatia, as well as the University’s core academic values and its role in the broader social context.

The central part of the visit was a lecture by Professor Ivan Majnarić, PhD, entitled “Shaping the Medieval State.” The lecture introduced students to the work of historians and the methodology of historical research in an accessible way. Special attention was given to the commemoration of the 1,100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom and to historiographical questions regarding the role of King Tomislav, providing students with a deeper understanding of national history from the perspective of contemporary scholarship.

After the lecture, the students toured the university campus under the guidance of Assistant Veronika Novoselac. They visited teaching and student facilities, showing particular interest in the sound studio. There, they were hosted by Assistant Matea Vidulić from the University Department of Communication Studies, who introduced them to the technical aspects of the program and the basics of media production.

The visit to the Catholic University of Croatia gave students from the Technical School in Zagreb an insight into university studies, academic work, and the application of modern technologies in the fields of humanities and social sciences. The experience gained can be valuable as they consider their future academic paths.
