The Faculty is the first in this region that issued Diploma Supplement before signing Bologna Declaration. Since 2004 it has started issuing Diploma Supplement to students in Serbian and English, which has greatly facilitated mobility and employment of our students in Europe and worldwide. Diploma Supplement is a document that is merged with the Diploma of Higher Education, also published in Serbian and English, and was made to offer a description of the nature, level, context, content and status of studies that was attended and successfully completed by the student named in the original diploma, which this supplement incorporated.

On 23rd May 2008 Faculty of Technical Sciences received the Decision on the accreditation of the Faculty as a higher education institution. Until now, 88 study programmes for academic and professional studies have been accredited.
