It was founded in 1965 and it consists of 13 faculties with 1500 teachers, 630 staff and extracurricular staff, and around 30,000 students.

It has a university library "Nikola Tesla"; the Faculty of Technology is in Leskovac and the Teacher-Training Faculty is in Vranje. ==History== The University of Niš was incorporated as an independent degree-granting institution on June 15, 1965. Its establishment rounded off an important, in many ways pioneering, period in the more recent history of the town which started in 1960 when the first undergraduate programs commenced in Niš under the academic patronage of the University of Belgrade. They were institutionalized as the faculties of Law & Economics, Medicine, and Engineering, constituting a core from which a more and more complex and richer physiognomy of the university would systematically develop, following the demands of the times. The university started its independent life with 234 full-time teaching staff and 6,800 students. The increase of the student population, the development of new disciplines, and the rising needs of the immediate and broader industrial and social environment brought about a reorganization of the existing faculties and foundation of new ones. Accordingly: *1968: the Department of Electronics grew into the Faculty of Electronic Engineering; *1970: the two departments of the Faculty of Law and Economics became independent faculties; *1971: the Departments of Mechanical and Civil Engineering became separate, independent faculties. In the same year, the Faculty of Philosophy was established with seven departments: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Sociology, Psychology, English and Physical Education; *1972: the Faculty of Occupational Safety grew out of the Faculty of Civil Engineering; *1979: the Faculty of Technology was founded; *1987: the Faculty of Philosophy grew to include the Department of Serbian Language and Literature; *1993: the Teacher-Training Faculty in Vranje enrolled its first generation of students; *1995: the Faculty of Civil Engineering expended its academic mission to include a new Department of Architecture which was consequently added to its name; *1998: the academic structure of the Faculty of Philosophy widened to include the Department of History. In the same year the Faculty of Fine Art and the Faculty of Applied Art and Design of the Belgrade University of Art opened their academic divisions in Niš; *1999: the Faculty of Science and Mathematics and the Faculty of Physical Culture grew out of the Faculty of Philosophy; *2000: the university family became richer with six new departments: Geography and Biology with Ecology (adjoined to the Faculty of Science and Mathematics), Philosophy, Pedagogy, Slavic & Balkan Studies and Fine Arts (attached to the Faculty of Philosophy); *2002: the Faculty of Fine Arts is established with three study options — for visual arts, applied arts and music — previously functioning in the Department of Fine Arts of the Faculty of Philosophy; *2004: a new department was formed at the Faculty of Philosophy: Department for Journalism; *2008: the Department of Serbian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Philosophy was divided into the Department of Serbian Language and Department of Serbian and Comparative Literature. *2013: a new department was formed at the Faculty of Philosophy: Department for French language; 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Niš」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
