Department of Civil Engineering and Geodesy

What Department of Civil Engineering and Geodesy does

The Department of Civil Engineering and Geodesy (Departman za građevinarstvo i geodeziju) is an academic department within the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. Operating since 1971, it organizes teaching for three study programs at undergraduate (OAS, 4 years, 240 ESPB), master's (MAS, 1 year, 120 ESPB), and doctoral (DAS, minimum 3 years, minimum 180 ESPB) levels, awarding the titles of diplomirani inženjer, master, and doktor nauka. The programs cover Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Geoinformatics, and Risk Management from Catastrophic Events and Fires, supported by on-site research laboratories for materials testing, geodetic measurements, and disaster risk assessment.

The department's core technology is academic education combined with applied research, delivered through lecture-based instruction, laboratory practice, and professional practice components. It hosts the iNDiS international scientific conference (17th edition scheduled for November 2026, marking a 50-year tradition) and participates in multiple international research projects, including Erasmus+ programs (SKILL2SUSTAIN, 1FUTURE), Interreg Danube (InDiMaND), and CircularB, with completed projects K-FORCE and Eco build. Its primary customer segment is university students enrolled through the FTN admissions process, and its primary external stakeholders are internationally coordinated Western Balkan academic and research partners.

The department operates as a non-commercial public entity. It does not disclose revenue, tuition, or pricing; funding flows through the University of Novi Sad's public higher education budget supplemented by EU and international research grants. Its go-to-market is direct enrollment through the national university admission system, and its marketing relies on its official website (new.gradjevinans.net) and a news/blog section for course announcements and exam results. The department is governed by the University of Novi Sad and has no private ownership, external investors, or commercial ownership structure.
