Abstract
A degree programme for transport and traffic engineering was established at the University of Zagreb in the Republic of Croatia in 1968, and a module for railway transport and traffic was added in 1982. In 1984, the university founded the Faculty of Traffic Sciences, thus creating an independent study programme. Beginning in AY 2005/2006, the University of Zagreb introduced the Bologna Process across all institutions and degree programmes. This paper presents the current curricula for both the undergraduate and graduate degree programmes at the Faculty of Traffic Sciences, as well as it offers proposals for modernizing them.
