Ustanovljena je bila 27. oktobra 1945 kot Akademija upodabljajočih umetnosti, na kateri je potekal študij slikarstva in kiparstva. V času obstoja je akademija večkrat spremenila ali dopolnila svoje ime, skladno z razvojem pa se je tudi širila. Leta 1984 se je študij razširil na področje industrijskega oblikovanja in oblikovanja vizualnih komunikacij, dobrih deset let pozneje pa še na področje kons
ervatorstva - restavratorstva. Danes poteka študij na petih oddelkih ALUO, ki zajemajo področja vizualne umetnosti, konservatorstva - restavratorstva in oblikovanja. Študij se izvaja v manjših skupinah, v katerih z individualnim pristopom prek konzultacij, korektur, diskusij in seminarjev razvijamo študentovo kreativnost in inovativnost ter poudarjamo pomen in vlogo svojih strok v širšem družbenem kontekstu, da bi gradili na odgovornosti posameznikov. Študij je dopolnjen s teoretičnimi vsebinami in tehnično-tehnološkimi znanji. Glede na to, da smo med šolami z naše univerze blizu vrha po mednarodni izmenjavi študentov, je treba poudariti, da gradimo sodelovanje s tujimi partnerji na področju izmenjave in vključevanja študentov v projekte, razstave, natečaje, konference itn.

ALUO operates within the University of Ljubljana (UL). It is proud of its tradition. It was established on 27 October 1945 as the Academy of Fine Arts, providing courses in painting and sculpture. Throughout the years the Academy changed its name a few times, and expanded its activities in line with its development. In 1984 the studies expanded by incorporating industrial design and visual communications design, and a good ten years later it also introduced conservation/restoration. Now the courses are organised within five ALUO departments covering the areas of visual arts, conservation/restoration and design. The studies are carried out in small groups, where we develop student creativity and innovation through an individual approach involving consultations, corrections, discussions and seminars, emphasising the importance and the role of our disciplines in the broader social context in order to build individual responsibility. The courses also include theoretical topics and the acquisition of technical and technological skills. As the extent of our international student exchange is among the largest in comparison with the other institutions within our university, it needs to be emphasised that we cooperate with foreign partners through student exchanges and the inclusion of foreign students in the projects, exhibitions, competitions, conferences, etc.
