At the same time, FTS has the biggest number of active students among 12 of the University Faculties. Currently, there are about 2.500 active students. Since the foundation, more than 14.000 engineers have graduated from FTS (5.774 academic studies, 7.446 professional studies), and as many as 90 PhD degrees have been earned. Currently, The Faculty offers more than 20 study programs at all three levels, all of which are accredited and fully compliant with similar programs found in the best EU universities.
The Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak is a state institution of higher education that is engaged in teaching, scientific research activities, and the provision of intellectual services. The study programs are designed according to the needs of students and market requirements, and they encompass the study of the latest professional disciplines that follow the rapid technological development of the global industry. All programs are accredited. As part of its scientific research activities, the Faculty organizes professional and scientific conferences, seminars, and consultations, and promotes professional development, and study visits for its teaching staff. The Faculty is recognizable for its successful publishing activities.
The mission of the Faculty is to educate young and qualified professionals in the field of technical sciences and technology, through continuous innovation of teaching contents, the application of modern teaching methods and techniques, and through the research process, within academic and professional studies: electrical engineering, electronics and computer science, informatics, information technology, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, printing technology, clothing engineering and management.
The vision of the Faculty is to develop into a modern European higher education institution recognized for its scientific research achievements and the accomplishments of its graduates, masters, and doctors of science. Nurturing excellence in education, the Faculty aims to change the overall economic environment of Serbia, where our engineers and professors, with theoretical and practical knowledge acquired at the Faculty, can compete equally in the market competition and contribute to the overall social development.
