History

Though its roots go back to 1808 when the Great School was founded in Belgrade, it officially became a university on February 27, 1905 when a royal charter was granted to the institution. At the time it had three faculties: engineering, law and philosophy. The University was located in Captain Miša's building where its Rectorate is still located. 1808 was a leap year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ... February 27 is the 58th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar). ... The word rector (ruler, from the Latin regere) has a number of different meanings. ...

The university experienced massive growth and expansion in the years preceding the WWII and especially after the establishment of Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. In the 1960s and 1970s the University of Belgrade greatly increased its resources and space. The enrollment grew exponentially as the university developed into a notable regional and international educational institution. Many students from the countries participating in the Non-Alignment Movement were educated in Belgrade. The university is noted for its exceptional programmes in engineering, architecture, philosophy and social sciences. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was a Balkan state that existed from 1945 to 1992. ... The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ... The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive. ...

Ever since the 1980s, the quality of university's programs began to deteriorate due to political instability in the country, subsequent war in Bosnia and Croatia and chronic lack of investment in the resources, students and the faculty. As a result many of the university structures are dilapidated and lack modern teaching equipment worthy of a higher education institution of this size and reputation. During the socialist era, the university faculty, especially in the social sciences, tended to be populated according to political affiliation which seriously impaired the quality and impartiality of academic research and teaching. The state had de facto control over the university. This trend continued well into the era of Slobodan Milošević's rule in Serbia, when the university in Belgrade often struggled with outside political pressure and lack of academic and administrative autonomy. Often faculty and university leading figures would be changed and scores of professors and students be removed or retired for dubious reasons; these issues are still largely unresolved. Understandably, Belgrade university was a recognizable centre of political opposition during the 1990s in Serbia. Massive anti-government protests were staged by Belgrade university students and professors during late 1996 and early 1997 which seriously shook down Milošević's regime and forged a strong democratic movement that eventually toppled his government in the autmn of 2000. The 1980s refers to the years of and between 1980 and 1989. ... This is the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ... Slobodan MiloÅ¡ević (Požarevac, Nedićs Serbia, 20 August 1941 – The Hague, 11 March 2006) was President of Serbia and of Yugoslavia. ...

Ever since October 5, 2000 overthrow the university has made strides to improve its facilities, resources and teaching quality. There have been several initiatives to reform the higher education legislation in the country. The government has nevertheless been extremely slow to move and the initiatives mainly remain mulled over at various committees without any real results coming about. University has lately made great efforts to reform its internal structure and adapt better to the Bologna convention of higher education in Europe. Even though positive changes have been made lately and the university has improved the quality of its services and academics it still has a long way to go before crucial measures are taken for the university to become truly independent of political influence rebuild its resources. Recently the university governing council has been preparing a new university statute which should soon take effect and open way for throughly reforming this institution. The new statute should closely follow the Bolgna European higher education protocol recommendations, make the university administration more efficient and transparent, improve access to students and provide clear infrastructure and more transparent rules regarding admissions and appointment of teaching and administrative staff. Above all this new statute should as well finally firm up university's academic and financial autonomy and so assure a better future of its development.
