UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE Faculties are organized into 4 groups: - social sciences and humanities (10), - medical sciences (4), - natural sciences and mathematics (6) and - technological sciences (11). The University of Belgrade is a state university, with students and employees (teaching stuff ).

UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE We are still developing the new system of studies. The biggest change from the old system are the doctoral studies. We are looking for the ways to include the growing number of doctoral students into the projects, especially those that cover new approaches and ideas. Earth observation projects and programmes that promote GEOSS are very interesting for quite a number of our doctoral students. The new system of studies was introduced in Now we have - 97 programmes of undergraduate studies, programmes of master studies, - 69 programmes of doctoral studies.

UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE Among the international projects there are: - 34 project under the Seventh Framework Programme, - 11 project under the SCOPES ( ).

Study programmes at the Geological section are - Geology, - Geophysics - Geotechnics and - Hydrogeology. Study programmes at the Mining section are - Mining Engineering - Petroleum Engineering and - Environmental and Safety Engineering (totally new program, that deals with mining pollution and environmental and safety protection in mining areas). Faculty of Mining and Geology is devided into two sections – Geological Section and Mining Section. FACULTY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY
