PROBLEMSLegal framework for university education in Serbia, in line with the ongoing Bologna process, has not been specified yet. First draft has been made few weeks ago. Duration of undergraduate and graduate studies
3+ 2 (years) (180 + 120 ECTS ) 4 + 1 (240 + 60 ECTS) 4 + 2
Should graduate studies be extension of the undergraduate only, or a new autonomous education, with students graduated from different fields, having different practice?Relationship with doctoral studies

IS GRADUATE CURRICULUM
Two steps in curricula development:
1. The model curriculum - a set of standards upon which individual participants (and other Schools in SM) can base their curriculum.
2. Development of the graduate curriculum for each SM participant.
TEMPUS JEP-16067-2001 GRADUATE CURRICULUM MODEL
Two type of studies: (1) master science and (2) professional master Master science:
1. Extension of the undergraduate studies (students with the business and IT foundation) (180 + 120 or 240 + 60 ECTS)
2. Students graduated from different fields, having different practice without business and IT foundation (180 + 60 + 120 or 240 + 60 +60 ECTS)
Professional master 1. Min 60 ECTS (180 + 60 ?)
TEMPUS JEP-16067-2001 GRADUATE CURRICULUM MODEL
We have developed Undergraduate Curriculum model for four years study (240 ECTS). Should we now: 1. Only add additional 60 ECTS (8-10 courses) or 2. Develop the model with 120 ECT restructuring
our Undergraduate model or3. Develop the unified undergraduate and graduate
model: 1. New courses within knowledge areas specified
in Undergraduate model, 2. Specify required number of ECTS for different
degrees and 3. Specify required courses for different
specialties.
