Accreditation of New Curricula in Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Novi Sad

The Department of Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, successfully passed accreditation on April 12, 2008, after comprehensive reforms and the creation of updated curricula. The new programs follow a 3+2+3 structure (Bachelor, Master, Doctoral) covering Informatics, Computer Science, and Information Technologies. With a focus on both theoretical and practical applications, the department integrates multiple modules that allow for specialization and elective courses. As a leading institution established in 1969, it emphasizes quality education and research in the sciences.

  24. PhD in Informatics

  25. Where are ‘joint’ master studies in software engineering (Tempus project)? In: • Master of Information Technologies • Software engineering that consists of: • Courses from the ‘joint’ studies + • Some other courses – • Soft ‘joint’ courses (E-business, Business modeling, applied system thinking,…)

  26. Some statistics – elective courses • BSc – obligatory courses 33% • Computer science: + 44 % • Information technologies: + 44% • BSc – elective courses: + 33 % • MSc Informatics, 33 % elective • MSc IT, 36 % elective • PhD, 100% elective

  27. Some statistics: math. vs inf. 10 students enrolled • BSc in CS (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 45 % • Informatics: 55 % • BSc in IT (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 26 % • Informatics: 74 % 58 students enrolled

  28. Some statistics: math. vs inf. • MSc in Inf - CS (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 40 % • Informatics: 60 % • BSc in IT – SE (only obligatory) • Mathematics + theoretical found.: 15 % • Informatics: 85 %

  29. Problems • Courses for PhD are ‘thin’ (5 ECTS points each) – because of accreditation ‘metrics’  • Is our BSc in CS (45% theory, 55% inf.) capable of doing something useful in industry? • Probably not → master

  30. Conclusion • Is this the final stage of our continual 10-years efforts of reforms? • Probably not, but it is a good step in that direction  • The next step: analyzing the courses contents to check the usefulness to industry (esp. after 3 years).
