University of Niš

The Faculty of Philosophy was founded in 1971 as an academic unit of the University in Niš, Serbia, with a complex academic structure including scientific and educational programmes in humanities and natural sciences. Given new demands in the various scientific and educational fields, three new faculties were gradually founded – the Faculty of Physical Education, the Faculty of Sciences in 1999 and the Faculty of Arts in 2003, while the Faculty of Philosophy continued its development and growth in the field of social sciences and the humanities. Currently, the Faculty of Philosophy has 12 departments: English Language and Literature, Serbian Language and Literature, Russian Language and Literature, French Language and Literature, German Language and Literature, Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, Philosophy, Psychology, Pedagogy, Communicology and Journalism and History.
