Traffic Engineering

Master’s study program in Traffic Engineering is designed in accordance with Law on Higher Education and accreditation standards.

The purpose of the traffic engineering master's study program is the education of students through the acquisition of multidisciplinary knowledge in the field of traffic and transport techniques and logistics, which are integrated into all modern economic processes and social flows by their basic functions. Also, there is a need for university educated experts who will be prepared to answer in creative way to the demands of the development of traffic sector, based on newest scientific and technical technological achievements. Globalization of the economy and international exchange create a growing need for mobility of people, goods and information which results in a dynamic development of the traffic system.

Study program Traffic Engineering of master academic studies provides students with fundamental knowledge through studying essential subjects, but at the same time allows students to develop wide range of skills- through greater number of elective courses. This way students build their research and professional skills, but also their professional and social competencies.

The main goal of the Master's study program in Traffic Engineering is for the student to acquire fundamental and applied knowledge and skills that can be used to recognize, formulate and analyze problems and develop the abilities of research, critical thinking, development, design, optimization, management and maintenance of functions, devices, machines and systems in the field of traffic and transport techniques and logistics, using information technologies and software tools, while respecting the principles of sustainable development and engineering ethics. Also, the goal of the study program is the development of the traffic system towards safe, clean, sustainable and smart traffic with the direction of cargo on rail and water traffic in accordance with the strategic priorities and requirements of the Republic of Serbia, as well as research and development projects of the European Union.
