Uni Salzburg: 40 Years or 400?
In 1975, a new law regulated the organisation of universities in Austria. This causes Salzburg University to create five faculties as divisions: the Faculty of Catholic Theology, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine. The latter one was never founded.
In 1995, the organisation of Austria’s universities was re-structured again, this time granting more autonomy and freedom. The new law was gradually incorporated into practice over the course of several years until 2004. With the new structure, the University of Salzburg turned down the idea of founding a Faculty of Medicine. However, in the meantime a private University for Medicine was founded.
The other four Faculties remain. They are sub-divided into 31 "Fachbereiche" or departments.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes.” It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldn’t matter to anyone any more.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
