Computer engineering – undergraduate studies

Upon completion of this program of studies, students will be able to design, implement and maintain computer systems and systems of a high level of complexity, including distributed systems, cloud systems and Internet of Things (IoT). They will participate in the development, implementation and integration of computer software for intelligent systems, such as robots, drones or self-driving cars.

Carrying out projects and practical tasks, students prepare for a real work environment, which includes analytical problem-solving, creative thinking, team work, use of available documentation, application of adequate algorithms, as well as the use of appropriate technologies and programming paradigms.

Tuition fees

From a student’s point of view, tuition is an investment in their own future.

Tuition includes:

  • classes,
  • individual consultations,
  • taking exams,
  • materials in printed or electronic form,
  • software licenses,
  • unlimited access to the Internet,
  • use of other faculty resources,
  • all certificates, forms, diplomas, etc.

The price of academic studies is €5,000.

In case of a lump sum payment, the total price is €4,500.

In short, there are no hidden costs for students.

Prices are in euros for one year of study, and the payment is made in dinars (RSD) according to the middle exchange rate at the National Bank of Serbia on the day of payment.
