About The Department
The Department of Computer Science and Informatics is responsible for teaching approximately 60 courses in computer science and informatics at the undergraduate and master's levels at the Faculty of Mathematics. The Department of Computer Science and Informatics was officially established in 1987, but its roots go back to 1961, when courses in computer science were first introduced at the Faculty of Mathematics.
Our mission is:
- to educate top-level computer scientists and IT professionals;
- to continuously strive for excellence in teaching and research;
- to contribute to the Faculty of Mathematics as a whole through our activities.
The Department is not only responsible for teaching activities in the field of computer science at the Faculty of Mathematics, but is also an important contributor to research activities at the University of Belgrade. Members of the Department publish papers in leading international journals, participate in national and international research projects, collaborate with numerous researchers and research institutions in Serbia and abroad, participate in leading international conferences, and organize major scientific events held in Belgrade.
In the 2025/26 academic year, the Department has 21 faculty members and 32 teaching assistants and associates. The Department has 20 female and 33 male members.
The Department of Computer Science and Informatics is proud of its current and former students. Our graduates work at leading IT companies (as well as other companies with IT departments) in Serbia, some work for major companies abroad, some pursue postgraduate studies at leading universities, and some of the most successful among them work as teaching assistants and faculty members at the University of Belgrade.
