The Faculty of Political Sciences (Serbian: Факултет политичких наука Универзитета у Београду / Fakultet političkih nauka Univerziteta u Beogradu, abbreviated FPN) is a constituent institution of the University of Belgrade which focuses on education and research in the fields of political science, international relations, journalism and communication studies, and social policy and social work. It was established in 1968, as a first faculty of this type in former Yugoslavia.
The building, built in the Brutalist style, is located in the urban neighborhood of Voždovac, close to the Faculty of Organizational Sciences. The Faculty of Political Sciences offers BA, MA and PhD programmes, as well as advanced professional development programmes.
The Faculty of Political Sciences was established in 1968, after the National Assembly of Serbia brought an establishment act. It was the first institution of its kind in former Yugoslavia. Since its founding to 2013, it has educated more than 8,100 students, with 975 of them having completed MA programmes, and 464 having defended their PhD theses. Many of the alumni have become recognized experts and scholars, professors and high ranking government officials.
Many of the faculties of political sciences, established subsequently in other parts of the former Yugoslavia were formed from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences as a core, and a large number of professors at the various faculties of political sciences in all the countries of the former Yugoslavia, had obtained their academic titles at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences.
Celebration of the faculty's 40th anniversary was held in the hall of the National Assembly of Serbia in November 2008. It was sponsored by the President of Serbia. An international conference "State and Democracy" was held as a part of anniversary.
