The studies at the Department for Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad are divided into three degrees. In addition, there are specialization studies, lasting one year (two semesters), worth 60 ECTS, including specialization thesis which is worth 12 ECTS.
First cycle studies - Undergraduate academic studies last 4 years (eight semesters) with possibility of obtaining 240 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), including the final paper which is equivalent to 15 ECTS.
After the first year, students may choose between two study programmes:
Environmental Engineering
Safety at Work
Risk Management of Catastrophic Events and Fire
Second cycle studies - Master Academic Studies, are the continuation of undergraduate studies, depending on the study programme last for 1 year (at least 60 ECTS credits), 1.5 years (90 ??TS credits) or 2 years (120 ECTS credits), being the continuation of the undergraduate academic studies. Master studies are awarded 60 ECTS, including master thesis which is awarded 15 ECTS. After the completion of the second degree studies, student is awarded the maximum of 300 ECTS.
Third cycle studies - Doctoral Studies last three years (six semesters). Doctoral studies are awarded 180 ECTS, and after the completion, a student obtains a total of 480 ECTS.
There are two Chairs at the Department - the Chair of Environmental Engineering and the Chair of Bio-system Engineering.
In accordance with Department activities, education, research and transfer of knowledge through scientific projects and cooperation with economy, industry, and public sector, issues in the field of environmental protection are generally classified into four groups:
1 Environmental Engineering
2 Environmental Management - ECO-Management
3 Risk Management
4 Engineering of Bio-systems
Laboratory for monitoring the landfill, waste water and air
The laboratory is equipped with the following valuable devices:
• Spectrophotometer
• Atomic absorption spectrometer
• Mobile gas chromatograph
• Multi-gas detector to determine the concentration of CH4, CO2, CO, H2S, O2 and measurement of gas flow, pressure and temperature
• De-ionizer, digester for sample preparation ...
• Other necessary equipment and instruments - pH meters, turbine-meters, COD thermostat, magnetic mixer, centrifuge, digital scales, analytical scales, and so on.

• Over 100 published papers in international and national journals (papers presented at over 50 international and national symposia and congresses).• In December 2008, the first issue of KOMPAKT (the first magazine in the region that covers the topics of waste management, modern approach to solving problems in this area, positive international experience and state of waste management in Serbia) was published by the Department of Environmental Engineering.
Current research
• Analysis of the morphological composition and quantity of municipal waste in the Republic of Serbia
• Assessing the quality of strained-filtered water on municipal waste landfills and determining the composition of landfill gas;
• Identification of pollutants and modelling the spread on the basis of key parameters;
• Developing a model study of the environment in the investment process;
• Detection of toxic substances, PCB's, dioxins and other persistent organic pollutants (POP's) generated during the war accidents in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia (international project with the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia),
• Control of flooding and vulnerability (UN cooperation with the University of Bonn)
• Harmonization of national legislation in the field of water quality and control with the EU standards (the international project with Slovakia).
• Assessment and evaluation of strategic environmental impact
• Monitoring of the environment
• Regional and municipal waste management plans
• Assessment of the quantity and composition of municipal waste and identification of illegal dump sites.
• Elaboration of design and planning documents in the field of environmental protection
