The forerunner of the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering is the Superior School of Transportation, set up in 1950. Two years after that, the School was abolished and teaching in the area of transport and traffic was organized within the framework of the Superior School of Engineering, where an autonomous Transport and Traffic Engineering Department was formed. In the 1954-1960 period the Department functioned within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Finally, in 1960, it developed into an independent faculty under the name of the Faculty of Transport and Traffic engineering of the University of Belgrade. For years the Faculty was the only institution to educate transport and traffic engineers in the country.
Studies last five academic years, namely ten semesters.
Teaching during the first two years of study are organized according to a single syllabus. In the current academic year specialized courses have not been organized. By preparing and defending a doctoral dissertation at this Faculty, one may acquire a doctorate in engineering science in the fields of transport and traffic.
