Why choose Mechanical Engineering?

Just look around you. How much of what you see has been manufactured? Engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of everything, from cars to airplanes. Many recent medical advances have been made as a result of work done by engineers: from brain scanners to the drug dispensers used by asthma sufferers. If you want to be an informed member of society, able to understand modern technology as well as the infrastructure on which our society is built, then there can be no better training than that given to mechanical engineers at University of Belgrade. Graduates of the Faculty have benefited from education that enables them to make a real difference to the world outside while, at the same time, pursuing successful and rewarding careers.
Since its start as an independent faculty, in the past period 1948-2005, at UB-FME the system of studies was: integrated 5 years for Dipl.-Ing., additional two years of study for Mgr (old MSc) and just research and thesis defense for PhD. Studies were in Serbian, while for PhD - English was also preformed. In such a system, 260 international students from 26 foreign countries received the Dipl. Ing. degree, 46 got the Mgr degree and 26 defended PhD theses.
Since 2005 up to date, the system of studies on UB-FME is: 3 years for BSc, 2 years for MSc (Dipl.-Ing.) and studies of 3 years for PhD (in fact old studies for Mgr plus research and PhD defense). In such a system, besides studies in Serbian, the UB-FME organizes studies in English on all levels.

Study as a Guest Student

International students are not invited just for studying the whole prrogram in English at the Faculty, but also for the part of it. After getting international accreditation and EUR-ACE label, UB-FME is strongly off ering to European students the possibility of studiyng one semestar in Belgrade, through fully recognizable ECTS system and programs internationally accredited. In accordance with the Bologna principles, students from European countries have the opportunity to spend one or more semesters at the UB-FME, attend lectures and take exams, learn the local culture and habits. The international cooperation is accomplished through the ERASMUS MUNDUS and CEPUS programs, which imply the exchange of students and academic staff . There were several such students in the past (mostly due to fi nancial restrictions and prejudices), but this activity is now expected to be much more broadened.

Students studying on UB-FME have also the possibility to study abroad through the same exchange programs, and also to fi nish the internship through well-established IAESTE program. Also, some departments organize national and international excursions for students, thus making them acquainted with industry colleagues and facilities. Skill praxis (internship), as a part of study program, may also be performed in such manner.
erasmus_plus

Belgrade as part of an ERASMUS

Students at partner universities can study for one or two semesters at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at University of Belgrade as part of an ERASMUS or direct exchange program. The Erasmus Programme ("EuRopean Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students"[1]) is a European Union (EU) student exchange programme established in 1987.[2][3] Erasmus+, or Erasmus Plus, is the new programme combining all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, which was started in January 2014.

Tuition Fees

The costs of students’ academic education at Faculty are covered with tuition fees. They include core teaching costs and registration. Books, supplementary examinations and re-examination fees, and field trips are not included. If we offer the student a place, we will decide whether they qualify as a Serbian (citizens of some countries do qualify) or international student for fees purposes. We will then be in a position to give them more detailed information on the costs of programme of study. The following provides the basic information you need.
Start now
home-dev-image-box-02

Serbian and Bi-Lateral Students

Serbian students who do not qualify themselves as a govermentally financed pay tuition. Tuition fee will be approx. €1,000 per year. A similar fee is payable in each subsequent year of full-time study. The Government will determine the percentage increase which will apply. If students live in Serbia or they are Bi-Lateral students, they do not have to pay this fee up-front at registration; it is possible to pay it in several installments.
Start now
home-dev-image-box-03

International Students

The fee for undergraduate students is approx €3,000. It is likely that this fee will increase each year. We want to make sure that students studies are not unnecessarily disrupted, and may therefore ask them for advance written evidence that they, their family or sponsor can pay the tuition fees. Students must ensure that they have sufficient resources to cover tuition as well as living expenses before they accept any offer we make to them.
Start now

Living Expenses

How much people spend as a student will be, to some extent, up to them and will also be affected by what they study and for how long. For a 38 week (approx 10 months) period, an undergraduate should think in terms of the following rough guide based on 2013/14 costs:

Rent room in University of Belgrade residence €1,000

From the Editor

I’m pleased to say that the FME Transactions journal has been accepted for indexing in ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index).

This means that the journal will now be discoverable via the Web of Science database, alongside any other Web of Science indexed journals. From the Web of Science database, we are now able to see full citation counts, author information and other enrichment on the journal. Articles in ESCI indexed journals will be included in an author’s H-Index calculation.

Being ESCI listed is the first step to obtaining an Impact Factor. We will be able to analyse the data provided by Web of Science to give a more detailed understanding of the journal’s citation performance, and apply for an Impact Factor listing as soon as we are confident that citations are at a level high enough to be accepted by the Science Citation Index (SCI).

ESCI listing should act as a significant incentive for submitting authors, and so please share the news with your networks!
