Through success from Belgrade to far and away Cambridge
In July 2021, Djordje graduated from the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy at the University of Belgrade, majoring in Environmental Engineering. In addition to finishing his studies with the highest grades, he worked hard and participated in various competitions. He points out that his favorite ones were the international competition for innovations of students from Southeast Europe - the Danube Cup, where he and his team presented the Pycotox project (a quick test for the detection of tetanus and botulism in blood), and the "X Prize" competition, where he worked as a project mentor of students of the Educational System "Creative Pen" (srb. “Kreativno pero”).
He enriched his experience through various extracurricular activities, like doing internships at companies operating in fields close to his future vocation, as well as through memberships in various organizations such as the Association of Engineers and Technicians of Serbia, as well as the Serbian Chemical Society.
The most important and beautiful piece of news, and the cherry on top of the cake of his education, is that he has been admitted to a master's programme at the University of Cambridge. The programme is called MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development. The program lasts for 11 months, and only around thirty students attend it annually - selected out of several thousand applicants. Even though he was not too optimistic about getting accepted, Djordje was still invited to attend the program. An interesting fact to point out is that Djordje is only the fourth student from Serbia to be given the opportunity to attend this master's program.
In addition to the research work, which is in the focus of this study programme, it also includes exams in various engineering subjects, as well as business, economics and policies related to sustainable development. Djordje intends to return to Serbia after completing his master's studies, continue his training and apply his knowledge and experience in his country.
