This study program of OAS Civil Engineering has a direct social purpose to train personnel for the large economic branch of the same name, whose role in the overall development of society is of crucial importance. In Serbia, the design and implementation of several large infrastructure projects is underway, and further intensification of activities in this area is expected in the coming period. For this reason, there is an evident need for qualified civil engineers who should be involved in work in this economic branch, and thus for their adequate education.

The program of bachelor academic studies, as the first in a series of these programs, is primarily aimed at acquiring knowledge in fundamental sciences related to the construction profession, while not neglecting the professional knowledge necessary for everyday engineering work. For students for whom this degree of education will also be the final one, the program provides a wide range of competences in the field of design and construction of various types of construction facilities that are standard in nature, or of smaller capacity. Students who decide to continue their academic studies at higher levels receive with this program a solid enough foundation for successfully following more complex disciplines in advanced study programs.

The implementation of the study program designed in this way educates civil engineering graduates who possess competence in European and international frameworks.

Bachelor academic studies last four years. Upon completion of studies, the candidate acquires 240 ESPB points and the professional title of graduate civil engineer, in accordance with the accredited study program of the first degree. All candidates who have completed a four-year secondary education and passed the entrance exam in mathematics can enroll in the offered study program of bachelor academic studies of the Faculty of Construction Management, University "UNION - NIKOLA TESLA" in Belgrade. Students of related faculties can enroll in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd year on the basis of a certificate of passed exams, and on the 4th year on the basis of the obtained diploma of a three-year academic education (180 ESPB). Enrollment of candidates for studies is carried out on the basis of a competition.

The goals and tasks of the Faculty of Construction Management are aligned with the goals of higher education in the Republic of Serbia, the Law on Higher Education and the Statute of the University of Belgrade. The goals of the bachelor academic study program at the Faculty of Construction Management indicate what to strive for and what is the desired result and outcome of studying. It is primarily reflected in the intention for graduates to achieve a high level of competence and academic skills, as well as to perfect the methodologies for their acquisition. Concrete results in the field of higher education in construction are especially emphasized as the main goals. One of the more priority goals is the high-quality transfer of significant scientific and professional knowledge and skills in the field of design and management in construction, as well as the development and improvement of scientific and research activities.

The study program of bachelor academic studies has a realistic and clearly defined goal that stems from the vision and mission of the Faculty to provide all students with equal opportunities for quality further education and progress in their future work. The study program is based on the achievements of science in the field of construction and the needs of the labor market, that is, of the state and private sectors, with the aim of providing the necessary knowledge and skills for graduated civil engineers, and is realized through a four-year educational process.
