In the last few years, the University of Split student body has grown; it now enrols about 25,000 students and is organized in 13 faculties. Currently a new Campus is being built, which was supposed to be finished in 2014 but the economy crisis slowed it down so delays are to be expected. It will house all of the faculties, a large student center with a sports hall, sporting grounds and a University Library. There are new additions to the graduate programmes like pharmacy, forensics, geodesy with new programmes being added every year.
