ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

Physical chemistry appeared for the first time as a separate teaching disciplines in the curriculum of the Faculty of Philosophy within the Superior School (Velika [kola), as early as 1903. In 1927, the Physical Chemistry Group was one of ten science groups. A study group with the same name was also part of the newly-founded Faculty of Science and Mathematics in 1947. At the same time, the Physical Chemistry Institute continued its activity that had begun in 1918, the year of its foundation. One year later, in a reorganization of chairs at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in 1948, the Chair of Physical Chemistry was established. In 1961, this chair, together with the Chair of Chemistry, Mineralogy, Mathematics, Mechanics and Astronomy and Physics, moved into a new and well-equipped building at Studentski trg 16 - the present location of the Faculty.

The path to autonomy was taken in 1971, by the unification of the chemical and physico- chemical sciences into a single department, which acquired its full operative and organizational indepedence within the following two years. In 1990, a new reorganization of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics yielded the Faculty of Physical Chemistry. It acquired the status of an independent institution in 1995, after its own managing bodies were constituted and its own statute adopted.

Since its founding, 1089 students have graduated from this Faculty, 145 students obtained an M.S. degree, and 117 obtained a PhD degree.

Two of the professors of this Faculty are members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, while one is a member of a foreign academy of sciences.



INTERNAL ORGANIZATION

Educational, research and expert work at this Faculty is carried out within the framework of five chairs: the Chair of General Physical Chemistry, the Chair of Spectrochemistry and Physical Chemistry of Plasma, the Chair of Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics, the Chair of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry and the Chair of Molecular Structures.



TEACHING STAFF

Teaching and research work is done by 6 full professors, 11 associate professors, 4 assistant professors, 8 assistants, and 10 junior assistants.



UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

The enrolment capacity of the Faculty is about 150 first-year students.

Studies last four and a half years, i.e. nine semesters, and are organized according to a uniform curriculum, without separate departments or majors.

The professional degree obtained by graduating is that of a graduate physical chemist.



POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

The Faculty organizes POSTGRADUATE STUDIES (MS and PhD degrees) in the area of Physical Chemistry.



LIBRARY

The Faculty library holdings total 51,487 titles. A reading room facility with 32 seats is available.
