Dear colleagues,
S
eventy five years of the work of a
higher education institution is always
an important jubilee. The Faculty of
Economics was founded on 31 March
1937, as the Higher School of Economics and Commerce, in the environment
without a long tradition in economic science. After the Second World War the
Faculty became a part of the University
of Belgrade. The Faculty passed a long
way to the modern Faculty which relies
on all contemporary achievements in its
teaching and scientific process.
Since its founding, the Faculty has
been an important educational and scientific institution with the clearly defined
aims and objectives, including specifically
the higher education of economists at
the Bachelor level for various specialties
and, over time, the education of Masters
and Doctors of Science in Economics,
Business Management and Statistics.
During 75 years of its history the
Faculty of Economics has been actively
improving the system of study at all levels, following modern international trends
in creating highly qualified experts in the
field of economics. The Faculty is known
nationally for the quality of its research,
with postgraduate education (master and
doctoral studies) making its central part.
In the academic year 2006/07, in accordance with higher education reforms in
Serbia, the Faculty of Economics reorganized the postgraduate studies in order to
provide one-year-long (60 ECTS) Master
studies, in accordance to the European
credit transfer system. Today, the Faculty
offers 12 study programs fully accredited
including several international Master
programs jointly organized with foreign
universities.
The Faculty of Economics has a long
tradition in educating Doctors of Science
in Economics, Management and Statistics.
In the academic year 2008/09, the Faculty
started with the Doctoral Studies, which
last three years (180 ECTS points). Today
the Faculty provides three fully accredited PhD programs in Economics, Business
Management and Statistics.
The Faculty of Economics is especially
proud of its intensive international cooperation, which has been maintained over
the past 75 years. This is also reflected
in intensive cooperation in the organization of joint studies with foreign higher
education institutions, as well as in the
scientific work.
The Faculty of Economics has proved
that a difference is made by people.
With 140 full-time teachers and associates, as well as numerous programs of
study offered at its postgraduate studies,
the Faculty of Economics is one of the
largest faculties within the University of
Belgrade. At the same time, it represents
a significant medium-sized university in
itself. Naturally, apart from successful
teachers and associates, the Faculty of
Economics in Belgrade also has successful students. Since its foundation,
about 2885 have continued their studies
successfully advancing to the MSc degree
and more than 740 obtained their PhD
degree.

quality school where students hold
the most prominent place. At the Faculty
of Economics you can study for a Master

and finance, international economics,
accounting, management, marketing,

The Faculty’s postgraduate curriculum
and syllabi are constantly being updated.
The European Credit Transfer System
is applied to all postgraduate programs
provided at the Faculty according to the
Bologna process.
6
The Faculty provides programs
which are designed to include practical
perspectives and skills with case study
orientation. The goal is to teach students
how to think about current economic
and political issues in order to apply
knowledge to many problems.
The Faculty provides students with
recognized degrees that grant them access to various carrier opportunities.
Postgraduate Studies
The Faculty’s postgraduate courses are
long established and successful, strongly
supported by our research work and
links with industry. The Faculty of
Economics has been organizing postgraduate courses since the early 1960s.
Until 2006, these were two-year postgraduate studies, whereas the doctoral
studies until 2008 were organized in the
form of a doctoral thesis. Since 2006,
i.e. 2008 respectively, the Faculty of
Economics has switched to master, i.e.
doctoral studies, fully in compliance with
the European standards of postgraduate
studies.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Master Programs
Following the adoption of the Law on
Higher Education in 2005, under which
this form of study was introduced, the
first generation of students in the master
studies of the Faculty of Economics
enrolled in the school year 2006/07. As
the studies have been formed, to follow
all trends of scientific development as
well as the development of teaching
process, the study programs underwent
certain adjustments and were reformed
for school year 2008/09. Pursuant to
the decision of the Commission of the
Ministry of Education of the Republic of
Serbia, all master programs at the Faculty
of Economics have been accredited.
Master academic studies have been
fully adjusted to the European Credit
Transfer and Accumulation System
(ECTS) and comply in all respects with
the accreditation requirements and
standards for this level of study (student
workload, curriculum structure, aims
and objectives of the study programs,
student competencies acquired under
the programs).
The master academic studies at the
Faculty of Economics have 60 ECTS
credits and last one year. The study programs offer all necessary knowledge and
academic skills required by professionals
of different profiles at the level of master
academic studies.
The study programs of master
academic studies have been adjusted to
the programs of foreign higher education
institutions. The adjustment refers to:
the curriculum and its content, aim and
outcome of the course; student competencies acquired under the program; jobs
that can be done by masters; enrollment
requirements for study programs and
perspectives of further education at the
doctoral level.
The Faculty of Economics was among
the first higher education institutions in
Serbia to organize joint master programs
in cooperation with prestigious foreign
higher education institutions. Today,
there are two international joint master
programs under which teaching is conducted according to the study programs
which, apart from accreditation in Serbia,
also have foreign accreditation. Upon
completion of these programs, students
will acquire two diplomas: the diploma
of the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade
and the diploma of another – foreign
institution.
Entry Reqirments for
Master Studies
The Faculty welcomes application from
all those interested in furthering their
education.
The master studies are available for
candidates who have completed a fouryear bachelor academic program – BSc
diploma of minimum 240 ECTS in relevant fields, not necessarily in economics or management (most subjects are
acceptable), after testing their knowledge
relevant to the study program. More
detailed requirements (the entrance
exam information) can be found on the
Faculty’s web page www.ekof.bg.ac.rs.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Structure, Objectives
and Aims of the Master
Studies
The master studies at the Faculty of Economics represent the second-degree education of academic masters in economics and masters in management for the
specific fields. The master studies at the
8
Faculty of Economics provide 60 ECTS
credits, after a student has acquired 240
ECTS credits at bachelor level. The study
program subjects provide 45 ECTS credits, while the final master paper counts as
15 ECTS credits.
A course content is relevant to future
careers. Our courses are designed to
be very flexible. The program structure
fully follows the contemporary trends
in the teaching process, thus ensuring
an appropriate degree of electiveness.
At the same time, the methods used in
the teaching process are modern (the
inclusion of students, encouragement of
critical thinking, solving concrete problem
– case study method and the like) and
ensure the acquisition of appropriate
competencies and academic skills in
accordance with the study program and
module.
Students acquire general and coursespecific knowledge, as well as necessary
academic skills (analytical, numeracy,
information and communication). Masters
acquire appropriate competencies and
qualifications for performing complex
jobs at different levels of decision making
in firms, banks, government, central bank
and the like. At the same time, masters
provide knowledge needed for further
education at the doctoral level.
The basic aim of all master programs
is to educate appropriate professionals in
a specified field at the master level, thus
making them qualified for complex and
managerial jobs in the economy, as well
as for the inclusion in scientific research.
We aim for postgraduates with an understading and ability to apply knowledge.
Therefore, our courses are «applied»
with a strong vocational emphasis. The
program enables the acquisition of
knowledge and mastery of skills required
for the performance of very complex
managerial and analytical jobs in different
fields.
(More information about the structure, objectives and aims of each master
course can be found on the Faculty
website: www.ekof.bg.ac.rs).
COURSE OVERVIEW
The master program “Macroeconomics of Transition Economies”
has given me opportunity to study on recognized French state
university, without leaving my job in Belgrade. Studying on French
and being able to pursue my studies abroad was precious experience. Professors and knowledge that they gave me really have
broadened my perspectives and work possibilities.

Competencies of
Graduate Students
The diploma and qualifications, which
are gained upon completion of any study
program of master academic studies,
correspond to the character, content and
aims of each program.
The competencies acquired by
students attending any study program of
master academic studies are specifically
linked to each scientific field covered by
the program or, more exactly, program
modules. All study programs of master
academic studies offered by the Faculty
of Economics supplement students’
knowledge acquired during their bachelor
studies with a view to preparing them
for further scientific research (at the
doctoral level), or enabling them to apply
acquired knowledge to solving concrete
problems. Students acquire knowledge
and academic skills that enable them to
solve complex problems in an economic
environment at the level of economic entities (firms, banks, financial institutions),
government and its bodies (ministries,
agencies, central bank), development institutions and international organizations
(depending on the study program). At the
same time, students acquire the qualifications for further scientific research in the
field covered by the study program, both
for the formulation and assessment of
simpler theoretical models, as well as for
their application to real economic problems. Students are also trained to present
their opinions, ideas and conclusions to a
broader academic and professional public
in a clear and unambigous way. At the
same time, they are trained to convey
their knowledge in the field of economics or management and business in the
vocational training process (economics
courses in secondary schools).
Specifiic competencies are given
for each study program (on the Faculty
website: www.ekof.bg.ac.rs).
After graduating from the Faculty of Electric Engineering in Belgrade and five years of active work in the country and abroad,
I have found that without adequate academic knowledge there
would be much fewer opportunities for me to successfully conduct
and manage business activities. In that sense, the program “Business Economics and Management” has fully met my expectations
and it offers a fantastic theory basis which, combined with practical experience, helps in mastering skills required from a manager.

After graduating from Faculty of Economics, with B.Sc. in Economics with focusing on Statistics, and when I decided to go for
a master degree I enrolled the International Master of Quantitative Finance. This program strongly expanded my knowledge and
skills in Economics, and particularly in Finance. The best feature of
IMQF is that it gives students a good background for both academic and practitioner career. As I experienced both, working in
financial industry and now in academia, I can surely confirm that.
I’ve been thought by some of the most experienced researchers in
the world who inspired me to follow academic track and intensify
my strong interest in economics.

to contribute to the further development of economic science, as well as
train scientists who will be able to engage
in scientific research in the fields of
economics: economic theory, macroeconomics and microeconomics, economic

researcher, regardless of his or her field of economics. Therefore,
I believe that the PhD program is the right choice for individuals who have high ambitions for personal development and/or a
desire to become involved in scientific research in economics.

After completing Master studies at the Faculty of Economics University of Belgrade I decided to also
enroll the PhD studies at the Faculty of Economics, program - ECONOMICS. I wanted to obtain a
PhD degree from a renowned institution, recognized in both academic and professional circles, which
is also flexible enough to offer education opportunities to employed student. My academic results,
the knowledge gained at the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty’s reputation have undoubtedly
contributed significantly to my professional advancement and my career so far. Having this in mind,
wishing to broaden my knowledge and prepare myself for the future professional challenges, I chose

After graduating from the IMQF masters course, I chose to pursue an academic career. I decided
to enroll a PhD program in Economics, at the Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade. One of
the main reasons for doing so is my cooperation with professors from the Department for Statistics
and Mathematics. This cooperation, established during my masters studies, continued throughout my
PhD. I benefited enormously from our discussions, especially in the first and the third semester. Their
advices regarding my research topic were of paramount importance. Also, I had an excellent communication with faculty staff employed in the Center for PhD Studies. They helped me a lot whenever I
needed some administrative information regarding my PhD curriculum.

by certain states and their foundations
(Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia etc).
A special segment of scientific and
research activity of the Faculty relates to
the organization of scientific meetings,
workshops and conferences (national

and international). These conferences are
often organised either in co-operation
or with support of some national or
international associations, such as EACES
or ASECU. The Faculty of Economics
has founded the Serbian Scientific Association of Economists. They have been
jointly organizing several traditional yearly
conferences related to specific topics – the results of economic transition,
economic policy, management and business issues and international economics.
The papers are presented in the related
monographs.

CENTRE of the Faculty
of Economics
Scientific - Research Centre of the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade was founded
in 1974. So far, the Centre has implemented over 1,500 projects, innovation
courses, corporate courses, consulting
services, conferences and the like. The
Centre has accomplished an impressive
cooperation with government institutions
since it has been involved in projects of
vital interest to our country.
With 140 experts and researchers,
95 of them with PhD degrees, and with
extensive experience in doing fundamental and applied research, the Centre is
fully capable of high quality and competitive scientific research and commercial
projects as measured according to basic
elements (quality, deadlines and price)
in all segments of economic science.
Apart from a large number of university
teachers and associates, the Centre also
engages a number of prominent experts
from outside the Faculty.
The Publishing Centre
The publishing centre (CID) of the
Faculty of Economics was established in
1975 as a separate organizational unit of
the Faculty of Economics.
From being an additional tool in the
teaching-scientific processes, the primary
activity of the Faculty, CID has grown
into the largest national publisher of economic literature, publishing on average
80 titles per year. The Centre is famous
for numerous authorized translations of
foreign books and textbooks, many of
which are used as the textbooks for the
subjects taught at the Faculty of Economics.
The mission of the Publishing Centre
is to provide its customers with the
highest quality resources for achieving
the best results in the following areas:
theoretical economics, international economics, banking, management, marketing,
organization, corporate finance, accounting, statistics, mathematics, computer
science and other fields and disciplines.

The significance of adequate IT
equipment for the advancement of
the teaching process, as well as of the
scientific research, was duly recognized,
which led to the investments in its
upgrading. The equipment has been on
the disposal of both the professors and
the teaching assistants of the Faculty,
as well as to the students at different
levels of studies. This important scientific
infrastructure of the Faculty has spread
44

classrooms has increased, the computers
and video projectors in all classrooms
have been improved, as well as the
equipment in the offices of the professors and assistants. Today, there are 6
terminal classrooms, all the classrooms
and the offices, including the Library of
the Faculty, have been furnished with the
necessary IT equipment. The optic cable
of the capacity 1 GB has been providing excellent internet communication.
The Faculty of Economics can boast a
fully equipped video-conference room,
which is the venue of master theses
defences on the joint study programs, as
well as of other scientific conferences.
The furnishing of the room has been the
result of successful realization of one of

absolutely broadened our minds and we discovered how similar
and how different we are in comparison with Austrians, Czechs,
Romanians, Hungarians, Croatians and Slovakians. Not only did
we gain precious knowledge about other cultures, but more
importantly, we returned to Serbia with significantly better
