PROGRAMS
As of today, Serbia has about 12,000 IT specialists
working in about 1,500 companies including IT as well as banking sector, telecommunications, mass media, schools and universities; only a small share of them, however, work in economic organizations.
ABOUT THE FACULTY
The system of higher education in Serbia does not cover the annual demand for about 2,000 new specialists. In such development environment, the facilities of our universities are not enough to provide that many specialists for the IT sector. On the other hand, progressive development of our economy is not possible without strengthening of the IT sector.
In 2012/2013, the doctoral program in Information and Communication Technologies was launched. In the times of European and international integration processes, this undertaking will make a significant contribution to better understanding of the world we live in, European integration processes and prospects of our country in the developing world and the European context.
Candidates who have completed secondary education and passed the entry exam are enrolled in the basic academic training program with a duration of 4 years (8 semesters) under the Information Technologies training program with a total of 240 ESPB points; after defense of the thesis, they receive a diploma of higher education and the professional title of an engineer of information technologies with a bachelor’s degree.
Completion of basic academic studies for a total of 240 ESPB points serves as a prerequisite for enrollment in the academic master’s program with a duration of one year (2 semesters), rewarded with 60 ESPB points; after defense of the master’s thesis, the students receive a diploma of higher education and assignment of the master’s degree in engineering of information technologies.
Points earned in the course of bachelor’s and master’s programs (300 ESPB) serve as a prerequisite for enrollment in the doctoral program that is rewarded with a total of 180 ESPB points and lasts for 3 years (6 semesters). After the defence of doctorate, the student is awarded the diploma of graduation from the doctoral program and the degree of a Doctor of Sciences in the field of electrical technology and computing equipment under the Information and Communication Technologies training program.
The reasons for emergence of study of information technologies are linked to high interest and the demand of our society for engineers of information systems and technologies. As of today, Serbia has about 12,000 IT specialists working in about 1,500 companies including IT as well as banking sector, telecommunications, mass media, schools and universities; only a small share of them, however, work in economic organizations. The system of higher education in Serbia does not cover the annual demand for about 2,000 new specialists.

ADVANTAGES OF THE FACULTY
Over the last ten years, the developed world has transitioned to information society, which was aided by quick and efficient development of computer sciences and technologies that have become an integral part of intense development of every society. In our country, development of the IT sector during this period was very small both in the field of application of computers and development of information systems and in the field of preparing personnel for professions of the future. Judging by the experience of countries with transitional economies, the IT sector in Serbia is still at the stage of its inception. This suggestion is further proven by the fact that most investments in the IT sector are aimed at procurement of equipment, i.e. creation of infrastructure. The infrastructure determines transition to the following stage, dominated by software solutions and information systems, which requires the necessary training of professionals in the sphere of information systems and technologies.

DEAN’S SPEECH
The Faculty of Information Technologies (FIT) of the Alfa BK University in Belgrade through its accredited training programs of basic and post-graduate academic (master’s) education in the field of information technologies (IT), as well as under the accredited doctoral program for Information and Communication Technologies in accordance with the demands of the economics and development of modern society, prepares specialists for professions of the future that are implied by achievements of science and technology and defined by progressive development of public relations and new trends in the world’s economy.
High demand for graduate specialists in engineering technologies, masters in engineering of information technologies and doctors of sciences in the field of information systems and technologies is defined not only by the demands of national and transnational IT companies and their growing economic significance, but also the needs of all segments of the modern e-society: e-business, e-management, e-healthcare, e-education, e-banking, e-administration…
In the environment of development of global companies that take their work outside their country and through their foreign branches implement the roles of extremely important carriers of foreign investments and global growth, the development of our economy and modern society in these spheres is also determined by presence of qualified specialists in the IT field.
Deep and complex changes caused by the process of globalization of economic, political, social, sports and cultural relations in the modern world indicate the demand for quality education of young people in the sphere of information systems and technologies.
For graduates, future freshmen, bachelors graduate and doctoral students, a diploma of the Faculty of Information Technologies of Alfa BK University serves as a guarantee of compliance with the international educational standards and a high level of theoretical and applied knowledge of modern information systems and technologies, a guarantee of leadership qualities and creativity in further independent and team work and open doors for successful professional and/or academic career.
Modern scientific results, requirements of applied studies and research in the field of development, as well as compliance with the principles of the Bologna process in teaching provided by highly qualified scientific, pedagogical and professional staff members whose prior scientific work has been recognized in national and international circles, and work on strategic projects of fundamental and applied research and development research qualify them as national and/or international experts, along with the available equipment and significant infrastructure of the faculty serve as a guarantee for our students at all levels of training that the obtained theoretical and applied knowledge is undoubtedly very interesting and irreplaceable for leading transnational and national IT companies in the modern conditions of life and work, in the new century and the new millennium.
