Master academic studies are a set of core and elective courses whose completion provides the necessary academic knowledge and skills for acquiring a degree at the second level of academic studies – master’s degree.
The total involvement of students in completing the study program of master academic studies consists of active teaching (lectures, tutorials, other forms of active teaching), independent work, mid-term tests, exams, professional practice and preparation of the final (master’s) thesis.
Master’s studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Niš belong to the domain of engineering sciences and technology, fall under the scientific and professional field of mechanical engineering, and are organized within six study programs:
- Energetics and Process Engineering – which grants the academic degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Energetics and Process Engineering (M.Sc.)
- Mechatronics and Control – which grants the academic degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Mechatronics and Control (M.Sc.)
- Mechanical Design, Product development and Engineering – which grants the academic degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Mechanical Design, Development and Engineering (M.Sc.)
- Production and Information Technologies – which grants the academic degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Production Information Technologies (M.Sc.)
- Traffic Engineering, Transport and Logistics – which grants the academic degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Traffic Engineering, Transport and Logistics (M.Sc.)
- Engineering Management – which grants the academic degree of Master in Engineering Management (M.Sc.).
By acquiring fundamental knowledge, developing skills and forming opinions within the field of mechanical engineering, a student obtains the necessary social competence for the future working process. The knowledge and skills acquired by completing the study program of master academic studies provide students with the opportunity to continue education and direct them towards conducting research within the domains of engineering sciences and technology, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary sciences.
