The story

The university was established on September 28, 1991, by an Act of Parliament, on the basis of two unrelated and independent institutions located in the city of České Budějovice. These two institutions, the Pedagogical Faculty (established in 1948 as a branch of the Faculty of Education of Charles University which subsequently became an independent faculty) and the Faculty of Agriculture (established in 1960 as part of the Prague University of Agriculture) were merged to form the university. Three additional faculties, the Faculty of Biological Science, Faculty of Theology, and Faculty of Health and Social Studies, were founded by the university academic senate in November, 1991. The Faculty of Arts was founded in 2006 and the Faculty of Economics was added one year later. In 2009, the Faculty of Fisheries and Water Protection was established.
