Programs and diplomas

Similar to the other universities in Serbia, courses of study at the University of Belgrade faculties are organized on three levels: undergraduate, master's or specialized studies, and doctoral studies.

Undergraduate studies last from four to six years, i.e. eight to twelve semesters, depending on the faculty (social-humanistic science - eight semesters, science-eight to nine semesters, engineering-eight to ten semesters, and medicine-ten to twelve semesters).

Specialized studies last from one to two years, master's two years, and doctoral studies three years.

While undergraduate studies are organized only on the faculty level, postgraduate master's programs are also organized on the University level.

Completion of the different programs leads to the following diplomas: a bachelor's degree which carries a professional title (engineer, professor, economist, doctor, veterinarian, dentist, etc.) and a postgraduate degree leading to the academic title of specialist or master.

Completion of the three-year doctoral program does not result in a degree but fulfills the prerequisite to begin work on a doctoral dissertation which, when it has been defended, results in a doctoral degree (Ph.D).

Diplomas attesting to the completion of bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies are signed by the dean of the faculty in which the program was completed or the dissertation defended, and by the rector of the University, while academic specialization diplomas are only signed by the dean of the faculty in which the studies were completed.

Health related specializations in the fields of medicine, stomatology and pharmacology are not included in the University's postgraduate studies, rather they are carried out according to regulations from the field of health care.
