STUDY PROGRAMMME STRUCTURE

The Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš is currently in the process of accreditation of two study programmes for basic academic studies: Occupational Safety and Environmental Protection. This basic academic studies (BAS) study programme is entitled Occupational Safety. The BAS study programme Occupational Safety comprises elements established by the Law on Higher Education: study programme name and objectives; type of studies and results of the learning process; academic title; study programme pre‐requirements; list of required and elective courses with course outlines; procedure and duration of studies; credit value (ECTS) of courses and the final paper; course pre‐requirements; procedure for selecting courses from other study programmes; and requirements for transferring from other study programmes within the same or related fields of study.

The study programme structure complies with the Accreditation Standards for the First and Second Level of Higher Education.

The study programme lasts 4 years (8 semesters), comprising 240 ECTS credits.

The study programme is implemented through:

Required courses, which include the fundamental knowledge students need to acquire;

Elective courses, which help students shape their educational profile more closely;

Internship, which students do in the eighth semester; and The final paper, which students complete in the eighth semester.

The study programme comprises 31 required and 9 elective (out of 18 offered) courses, internship, and the final paper. Students opt for 9 elective courses from 9 groups of two courses. Each course comprises a certain number of ECTS credits. The electivity factor of the study programme is 23.75 %.

Within the study programme structure, the percentage of different course types is as follows:

Academic‐general 15.71 %; Theoretical‐methodological 19.29 %; Scientific‐professional 34.64 %; and Professional‐applicative 30.36 %.

Total student activities comprise active classes (lectures, exercises, laboratory work, seminars, and other forms of active classes), individual work, tests, examinations, writing of the final paper, and other activities. The average number of active classes per week is 21.25. The total number of lecture classes within the study programme is 55, of exercise classes – 138, and of other forms of classes – 9. The remaining time of the 40‐hour work week is dedicated to other individual student activities.

10

Internship is an integral part of the study programme. It is done in a selected company or institution for the purpose of enabling students to practically apply their acquired knowledge to solving current problems of occupational and environmental safety. It comprises 3 ECTS credits.

The study programme is completed upon completion and public defence of the final paper. Through their final paper, students demonstrate their ability to synthesize and apply the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge to solving occupational safety problems in organizations and in local communities. The final paper comprises 7 ECTS credits.

Upon completion of the studies, students receive the academic title:

Graduate engineer in occupational safety.

STUDY PROGRAMMME PURPOSE

The purpose of the basic academic studies study programme Occupational Safety is to educate students to become graduate engineers in occupational safety and is in keeping with the needs and development concept of the economy and society aimed at resolving complex issues in the occupational environment.

The Faculty of Occupational Safety defined the education of highly competent personnel in the field of occupational safety as one of its fundamental tasks and goals. The content of the study programme Occupational Safety fully corresponds to the fundamental tasks and goals of the Faculty.

The study programme content helps students acquire knowledge in the fields of natural sciences, technical and technological sciences, social sciences and humanities, and medical sciences, and acquire skills and competences that will enable them to work on complex and multidisciplinary occupational safety tasks. Accordingly, the programme is designed to provide sufficient knowledge from basic scientific disciplines (mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, thermodynamics, etc.), classic engineering disciplines (machine engineering, energy engineering, process systems engineering, etc.), as well as management, occupational medicine, and education. The programme teaches students to: perform systems analysis of occupational problems; understand occupational processes and problems; record, analyze, and present data on the state of occupational environment; understand the requirements of the occupational health and safety system and the occupational safety management system; understand the socio‐economic principles of occupational safety and educational needs of occupational health and safety; and work as members of a team.

11

In times of rapid technological development and progress, but also new potential hazards and risks (technological, professional, or ecological), a study programme designed in this way educates future professionals who possess the knowledge, competence, and skills that meet European and global criteria, graduate engineers who can identify potential hazards and risks and propose a proper response and thus provide better living and working conditions, which makes this programme socially justifiable.

STUDY PROGRAMMME OBJECTIVES

Objectives of the study programme Occupational Safety stem from the primary tasks and objectives of the Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš as a scientific‐educational institution, as well as from the study programme purpose.

The primary aim of the study programme is to enable students to acquire competence and academic knowledge and skills pertaining to occupational safety engineering and to apply scientific and professional achievements in the field of occupational safety engineering and management.

Programme objectives include the acquisition of general and specific theoretical knowledge for:

Occupational hazard and risk identification; Use of risk pre‐analysis methods; Organization of risk assessment activities; Management of activities for facility, machinery, and equipment

management; Understanding of management system requirements and its

implementation and integration; Employee education and training for occupational safety; and Organization and management of the safety system in organizations

and local communities.

The defined aims and objectives suggest two basic intentions of the study programme – first, training for direct transition from studying to performing occupational safety jobs and second, proceeding to the master academic studies at the Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš or other higher education institutions in the same or similar fields of study.

STUDENT ADMISSION

The Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš enrols 180 students in the first year of the basic academic studies study programme Occupational Safety. The number of students is determined in accordance with society’s needs for educated professionals in human, material, and natural resource safety, as well as in accordance with the Faculty resources and candidates’ interest.

Admission procedure is regulated by the Law on Higher Education, Statute of the University of Niš, Regulations on Student Enrolment in Study Programmes at the Faculty of Occupational Safety, and Competition for Selective Admission to the first year of basic academic studies at state‐founded faculties. The Competition designates the following: the number of students (total and by source of financing); admission requirements; ranking criteria for candidates; competition procedure; guidelines and deadlines for complaints about the preliminary ranking; and the tuition fee for self‐financing students.

All persons with completed four‐year secondary education are eligible to apply for a basic academic studies study programme.

Candidates applying for admission into the first year of studies must take the entrance exam in two fields, which they select from a group of five fields: mathematics, physics, chemistry, information science, and ecology and environmental protection. The entrance exam tests for these fields are designed according to their corresponding professional secondary school syllabi.

A candidate who won one of the first three places during their third or fourth year of secondary education either in a national student competition organized by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technological Development or in an international competition in one of the five aforementioned fields is not required to take the entrance exam in that field. Such candidate is automatically awarded the maximum number of points for the entrance exam.

Candidates are ranked based on general grade averages from their secondary education and the number of points obtained through the entrance exam, according to criteria established in the Competition and the Regulations. A candidate can obtain a maximum of 100 points, comprising a maximum of 40 points based on secondary school grades and a maximum of 60 points on the

16

entrance exam. The entrance exam passing (and inclusion in the rankings) minimum is 14 points.

Upon expiration of the deadline for complaints about preliminary candidate rankings, the Admissions Committee determines and publishes the final rankings. Candidates ranked within a designated number of admissions are eligible to enrol in a study programme.

Depending on the number of points obtained in the admission procedure, rank, and the designated number of admissions, candidates can enrol either as state‐budget financed (or “budget”) students or as self‐financing students.

The Faculty timely notifies future students about the entrance exam program, preparatory lessons, and consultations in a printed information brochure and on the faculty website.

Regulations on Student Enrolment in Study Programmes at the Faculty of Occupational Safety comprehensively also regulate enrolment requirements and procedures for a basic academic studies study programme for first‐, second‐, and third‐level students from other faculties or higher education institutions, for persons with a higher education degree, as well as for persons whose student status has expired.

STUDENT GRADING AND PROGRESS

Students’ work on individual courses is continually monitored throughout the semester and is evaluated with points. Pre‐exam requirements and the final exam comprise 100 points in total, whereby the pre‐exam requirements can be allocated a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 70 points.

The study programme defines the following point distribution: a maximum of 60 points for the pre‐exam requirements and a maximum of 40 points for the final exam.

The pre‐exam requirements include all or some of the following: regular class attendance and activity; homework completion; tests; graphic assignments; term papers; presentations; and essays. Course syllabi determine the specific pre‐exam requirements and point distribution for each pre‐exam activity. Course point distribution and the total number of points students obtained for the course pre‐exam requirements are posted on the faculty bulletin boards after all classes have ended.

Students who meet all pre‐exam requirements determined by the course syllabus and obtained a minimum of 30 points.

17

Exams are taken in written, oral, or both written and oral form. Course completion results are expressed with grades ranging from 5 to 10. A final grade is given based on the total number of points students obtained through pre‐exam requirements and the final exam in the following manner:

grade 10 (exceptional) for 91‐100 points grade 9 (excellent) for 81‐90 points grade 8 (very good) for 71‐80 points grade 7 (good) for 61‐70 points grade 6 (sufficient) for 51‐60 points grade 5 (fail) for 0‐50 points.

The grades correspond to the following knowledge and skill qualities:

grade 10 – acquisition, reproduction, and creative application of the entire course material

grade 9 – acquisition, reproduction, and application of the entire course material

grade 8 – reproduction and application of a part of the course material

grade 7 – reproduction of the entire course material grade 6 – reproduction of a part of the course material

Grade 5 (fail) is given to students who:

demonstrate insufficient knowledge for a passing grade on the exam;

leave the room where the written exam is under way or quit the already started written/oral exam;

do not take the oral part of the exam after the written part (applicable to exams with both written and oral parts);

are removed from the exam because they behaved inappropriately, distracted other students, or used prohibited means during the exam.

After the exam, the final grade and the number of points are entered into exam records and into the student index, and validated by the professor’s signature. Grade 5 (fail) is not entered into the student index.

The relationship between grades and the number of points is defined by the Regulations on Examinations and Grading. They specify the examination requirements, organization, and procedures for the University of Niš and its faculties, as well as examination grading, protection of students’ rights, and other aspects pertaining to examinations and grading.

The Faculty of Occupational Safety defined the education of highly competent personnel in the field of environmental protection as one of its fundamental tasks and goals in keeping with the vision, mission, policy, and strategy of quality. The content of the study programme Environmental Protection fully corresponds to the fundamental tasks and goals of the Faculty and provides a leading position in the field of environmental protection and improvement. The study programme is designed to fully support the aforementioned goals and to enable students to acquire competences, knowledge, and skills for understanding environmental processes and issues.

The study programme content helps students acquire knowledge in the fields of natural sciences, technical and technological sciences, social sciences and humanities, and medical sciences, and acquire skills and competences that will enable them to work on complex and multidisciplinary environmental protection tasks. Accordingly, the programme is designed to provide sufficient knowledge from basic scientific disciplines (mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, etc.), general engineering disciplines (machine engineering, energy engineering, etc.), specific environmental engineering disciplines, as well as specific social and medical disciplines needed to identify, understand, and overcome the negative anthropogenic environmental impact. The programme

83

teaches students to: perform systems analysis of environmental problems; understand environmental processes and problems; record, analyze, and present data on the state of the environment; understand the requirements of the environmental management system; and understand the socio‐economic principles of environmental protection and educational needs of environmental protection.

In times of increased anthropogenic environmental impact, a study programme designed in this way educates future professionals who will be able to identify global effects and cumulative risks of environmental pollution and suggest possible solutions, and who possess the knowledge, competence, and skills that meet European and global criteria, which makes this programme socially justifiable and useful.

STUDY PROGRAMMME OBJECTIVES

Objectives of the study programme Environmental Protection stem from the primary tasks and objectives of the Faculty of Occupational Safety in Niš as a scientific‐educational institution, as well as from the study programme purpose.

The primary aim of the study programme is to enable students to apply scientific and professional achievements in environmental engineering and management. In addition to acquiring competences, knowledge, and skills pertaining to environmental protection, students should also be able to develop creative engineering skills in tackling environmental issues, to think analytically and critically, and to work as part of a team.
