ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

The question of educating professional staff in the sphere of pharmacy was raised in Serbia in 1887. In 1896 the Pharmacists Society proposed the formation of a department of pharmacy at the Superior School (Velika [kola). Although the suggestion was repeated several times, it was in 1930 that the new Law on the University formally introduced a provision according to which the Department of Pharmacy was instituted at the Faculty of Medicine. The department did not commence operations until 1939. The first generation of students was enrolled in the 1939/40 academic year. The decision to separate the Department of Pharmacy from the Faculty of Medicine and institute it as an autonomous faculty was enacted immediately after the end of the Second World War, in 1945.

In 1948 the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Pharmacy, and the newly-established Faculty of Stomatology were separated from the University and became the independent Superior Medical School, managed directly by the Ministry of National Health and Social Policy of Yugoslavia. These faculties were returned to the framework of the University of Belgrade in 1954.

Since its founding, the Faculty of Pharmacy has graduated 5,872 students, 182 holders of M.S. degrees, and 180 holders of doctoral degrees.
