It is the fifth largest university in Croatia based on the number of students[6] and the only public university operating in Northern Croatia alongside the University of Zagreb. The university was founded in 2015 by merging the University of Applied Sciences in Varaždin and the Media University in Koprivnica, thus becoming the eighth Croatian public university.
