What Faculty of Technical Sciences Cacak - Fakultet tehničkih nauka u Čačku does

The Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak (Fakultet tehničkih nauka u Čačku, FTN) is a public higher-education institution established in 1975 and operating as an integrated faculty of the University of Kragujevac in central Serbia. It delivers 15 study programs across undergraduate, integrated academic, master's, and doctoral levels in disciplines including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technologies, Mechatronics, Engineering Management, and Production Engineering, serving a student body of approximately 1,237 across all levels. The faculty is staffed by roughly 108 personnel — 73 teaching staff (including 31 full professors, 17 associate professors, 18 assistant professors, 1 professor emeritus, plus research associates and language teachers) and 35 assistants and support staff — operating from a 5,414 m² campus in Čačak that contains classrooms, the Computer Science Laboratory, the Laboratory for Electrical Machines and Drives (EMPA), 107-computer labs, and a 23,911-unit library registered in the COBISS system.

The institution's underlying technology stack is conventional higher-education IT: a Moodle-based E-Learning platform (eucenje.ftn.kg.ac.rs) for course delivery, an E-Index student portal for academic records and enrollment, a teacher accreditation system, and Microsoft 365/Teams for collaboration. Curricula are aligned with the Bologna Process and the institution plus all study programs are formally accredited under Serbian higher-education law, enabling issuance of state-recognized degrees. The faculty runs an Innovation Incubator program supporting student entrepreneurship and an active Student Parliament, and maintains Erasmus+ and CEEPUS mobility partnerships with European and Central European universities.

The business model is a hybrid public-funding model: the institution receives state budget allocations as part of the University of Kragujevac system and supplements this with tuition fees from self-financing students across its academic and professional (strukovne) study programs. Pricing for self-financing students is set annually and tiered by program, with a 50% tuition refund program offered in 2025/2026 to retain enrollment. Go-to-market is enrollment-based: prospective students are recruited via the national university admissions system, supplemented by direct high-school partnerships, open-door events, and a Viber community channel. There is no venture capital, private equity, or external institutional ownership; governance rests with a Faculty Council, academic departments, and an Employers' Council whose new composition was constituted in 2026 with Quantox's Filip Karaichić as President.
