The Faculty of Mathematical and Natural Sciences organizes basic studies in eight study programs, lasting four years, and the student accumulates a total of 240 ECTS credits. While the second cycle studies are organized in twenty study programs, lasting one year and two years, and the student accumulates 60 ECTS or 120 ECTS credits. This faculty carries out educational, scientific-research, applied and publishing activities in the field of computer sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography and ecology.
Informatics is an integral part of contemporary development, both of society and of other sciences. Basic studies in informatics include in-depth knowledge of software and hardware, as well as the use of computers for various purposes: process control, data processing, information management, the development of intelligent computer systems, etc.
Mathematics is a science that is correlated with technical sciences and physics, but recently it has become evident that it also penetrates economics, medicine, information technology, and other sciences. It enables graduate students to deepen the knowledge they have acquired in scientific research work in the field of mathematics.
Physics is a challenge for young high school graduates, because it explains the mutual interactions of the finest particles as well as the mutual interactions and secrets of celestial bodies; in short, it studies the relationship between matter and energy.
Chemistry represents the core of modern science, technology and medicine. The object of study of chemistry is matter and its chemical conglomerate. In contemporary life, especially in the production and synthesis of proteins, chemistry has an extremely important role. Graduate chemists are employed in scientific research work, education, laboratory research, the biotechnology industry, healthcare, pharmacy, the petrochemical industry, etc.
Physics-Chemistry as a study program with dichotomous content enables students to gain knowledge and competencies for work in education, respectively for inclusion in the educational process, whether in primary or secondary education.
Biology as a natural science offers studies that are conceived on the principle of learning expanded knowledge and competencies in biological sciences, which will serve to integrate graduated biologists both in the educational process and in other institutions.
Geography as a natural science prepares cadres for professors of geography or graduate geographers. In addition to educational work, a graduate geographer can work in spatial and social planning, urbanism, environmental protection, multidisciplinary studies, etc.
Ecology one of the contemporary environmental sciences, is today treated as an interdisciplinary science. It studies and offers solutions to problems in the field of environmental protection, spatial planning, natural, technical and biotechnical sciences. Ecology also faces challenges on a global scale, such as global warming and pollution of planet Earth.
