University of Novi sad, Technical faculty "Mihajlo Pupin", Zrenjanin

High education was established in Zrenjanin in 1969 at Higher School of Pedagogy where Faculty of Natural Sciences and Faculty of Economics, University of Novi Sad, organized their educational centres. The Faculty was founded by resolution of Assembly of Vojvodina on 22nd April 1974 under the name Pedagogical – Technical faculty as high-educational institution for educating teachers of poly-technical education. The Faculty changed the name in 1986 and since then it has worked under the name Technical faculty “Mihajlo Pupin”. It is the member of University of Novi Sad along with other 12 faculties. 

Today Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin" is, after 44 years of its foundation, the most important university level institution in Banat, and a responsible member of the University of Novi Sad. In 2010, the Faculty adopted its Development Strategy in accordance with the strategy of the University, labour market needs and regional social development with simultaneous branding of the faculty increasing its material and nonmaterial values. The base of the Strategy is the choice of study programs interesting for industry, continual improvement of the teaching process quality, development of students' research abilities, students' and teachers' mobility, cooperation with regional industrial and institutional environment with an aim of graduated students' easy and quick integration into industrial courses and their further contribution to increase innovativeness and competitiveness of local and regional industry.

A great number of our graduated students work on high positions in worldwide known companies.

All study programs were designed in accordance to the standards prescribed by the Low, they have coordinated structure and there is a necessary degree of compliance among them. Students who completed their studies achieve qualification which proves that they have shown knowledge and comprehension from their study field. Students also achieve special knowledge which they apply in solving problems, they are able to integrate knowledge, to make conclusions on incomplete information and to think taking care about ethical and environmental issues. Graduated students are able to transfer their knowledge clearly to professional and wider publicity and they are enabled to continue academic education at Doctoral studies.

Recognizing the problems in smaller urban environments in which industry faces emigration of qualitative human resources, the Faculty has established cooperation with business associations that gather the most successful industrial subjects from the region, and in which the students perform activities under the slogan "Working to get a position". The aim of these activities is to introduce students during their studies to real industrial fields, and employers to recognize them as future associates in their business systems. One of these associations is the business cycle ZREPOK that gathers businessmen from the region with whom we have had successful cooperation for years with mutual satisfaction. Today our Faculty is an institution with the most intensive and innovative-educational process in the region for which we were awarded "Kapetan Misa Anastasijevic" prize.

We are on the top in Serbia according to the number of international conferences where we have partners from the European Union in accordance with the number of employees. The Faculty carries out a great number of international, national, and provincial projects as projects of cooperation with industry where the number of students is significant.
